Default Race Tex Headliner

Hi all. I'm still trying to decide on interior options for my C2S build. Has anybody ordered race tex for their headliner? It looks good in the configurator. Is it worth the extra $$$? Black leather with chalk stitching and graphite blue seat inserts.

Yes, totally worth it. It is standard on Turbo (S), and have it on all my cars. It gives a luxury feeling.

The only place I actually like racetex/alcantara is the headliner

I have it and agree that it really makes the car feel much more premium. It’s a part of the car you look at all the time when driving so it’s worthwhile to me.

Another thing to consider is if you want the matching sun visors, I’m not sure if the standard ones would look ok on the racetex headliner as I haven’t seen any pictures with those options.

Agreed. Suncoast sells them without stickers

I have the Race-Tex headliner. It does luxuriate things a bit but still very nice without it. I did the leather sun visors. Personal thing, they look good but are overwhelmed by those stupid stickers that no one ever, ever, ever reads. If the cost is similar through SunCoast without stickers, that would be the way to go.

the headliner is a must-have option for me... should be standard like it was I believe since the 996

Yet another option that Porsche has started charging for. Standard on the Turbo models but optional as you move down the range. Have it in my 2019 Carrera T and also me 2021 Cayenne Turbo Coupe. One of my favorite things about a Porsche interior and probably contributes to that special new Porsche interior smell. I would check the box.
