Interior choice?
Hi all! I'm new to Rennlist and I've ordered a new Carrera S. The exterior is Agate grey. I'm undecided between black leather interior and black leather interior with chalk stitching. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance. My freeze date is 8/23/21.

When new, I'm also a fan of the Chalk (Deviated) Stitching. The only thing to be mindful of is that in time, those Chalk Stitch areas that come into frequent contact with you, your clothes, and stuff in general will slowly but surely (think in terms of years) become slightly grayer than the rest of the interior stitching. This takes awhile, but it is also rather inevitable as well.

There are multiple levels of deviated stitching. I think when you get black leather with chalk stitching, things like the steering wheel will not have chalk stitching. If you want that, you need to opt for the deviated stitch package. Of course then you have more color options to go with the extra cost.

To the OP, I would def recommend chalk stitching. I have it with my slate grey interior and love the look.

Agree! OP you might consider having an interior ceramic protectant applied to help for easy maintenance/cleaning. This will allow you to have it looking new for a longer time period.
