lmao - i was all prepared for a thorough scolding supported by facts specifying the cost of making change in a highly optimized assembly line. pleasant surprise. 
in all seriousness, is there any material cost to porsche when people customize their thread color, etc? could there be some impact to the manufacturing efficiency that we're not considering? or is it really just a cash grab because they can?
EDIT: considering they swap colors in and out, such as just having moved night blue metallic to pts which now costs 12k, i think it's mostly the cash grab thing.

Can anyone please share some pics of GT Silver and Guards Red deviated stitching?
I need to decide soon on whether to add one of those colors or keep the standard #3 monochrome black race-tex and leather with black GTS and dark gray stitching.
(I’ve decided not to going for the chalk or carmine red GTS packages, mainly because I don’t like the matching seat belts and overpriced carbon trim.)

You guys really are cheap *^%$s. You have to consider the cost of this from Porsche's perspective. First they need to find a virgin to trade to Rumplestiltskin for the hand spun thread. Then they need to pay a Sadhu (or similar) to bless the hide before it can be pierced with a single use magic needle. All these options are very, very expensive for Porsche to add in. Its not like they are already using a different color thread for the rest of the stitching.
HA! Porsche laughs every time one of you guys checks that Deviated Stitching options box. In my opinion, the most foolish way to spend your money when you can buy a worthwhile option like PDCC or Rear Wheel Steering with that money instead of colored thread.
I own a store that sells high-end leather upholstery. When a customer wants deviated or contrast stitching we charge exactly.....NOTHING. $ 0.00. Just request it and it's yours; The ladies that sew the leather in the North Carolina factories say "Well Honey, why would we charge for that? It takes me all of 20 seconds to swap out a bobbin in the machine, I wouldn't feel right asking someone to pay me to do that, its not like different color thread costs more."
