Default Pictures of Black Interior / Chalk Stitching / Colored Belts

Hello,

As the title says, do you guys by any chance have (i) Black leather interior (ii) with chalk stitching and (iii) decided to go with colored belts?
I LOVE the racing yellow seat belts and think black leather interior will look nice and clean.
However, the chalk stitching looks really nice so I'm debating whether I do black leather interior with chalk stitching and then keep yellow belts. My only concern being it might feel too busy?

Any thoughts? or if you have pictures, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I ordered full leather, silver stitching, silver belts and white dials. I considered going with yellow accents originally. Still haven't received my car and I am happy with my order but if I could go back and do it over, I'd skip stitching and dials and do color belts only. IIRC, stitching is off-black that creates some contrast with the black leather without ordering stitching.

Why would you skip stitching?

Also what does your last sentence mean? lol

My seat belts also match my brakes calipers and tach. Black.

I've never seen a car, nor been in any car, where I've thought to myself "You know what this car really needs... Colored seatbelts!" But leave it to Porsche to make it an option anyway.

I have black interior with chalk stitching and chalk seat belts. I seriously considered yellow stitching. But when I proposed that to my wife, she just stared at me and said, “You’re kidding right?” I wasn’t, but I’m happy I went with chalk. I love the black/white/grey combo. To me it’s understated and classy, which I wish I could say is just like me.


I found this site quite helpful when I was building my cars. There are dozens of high resolution images of virtually any option.

I'd skip not just stitching but almost everything. I do think full leather adds to the finish of the interior and belts give it a splash of color but that would be about it. Less is more and it happens to cost less too. I spent $12k on my interior and when I really look at what I bought, it's just color. As for the last sentence, I mean that the black leather and black stitching (without deviated option) are different shades of black so there's a bit of contrast.

See below for the very classy and relatively cheap interior I'm suggesting...

Here's my C2 with black leather, chalk stitching. I opted for black seat belts, can't help you there.

@remington that looks nice. I may've added one too many color options with silver stitching, silver belts and white dials.

I have Chalk stitching and silver belts (Chalk and silver stitching are very close to the same color). Chalk came with the sport-tex seats - so didn't have to pay for the silver stitching - got to see both live, so was able to compare.

Here is a pic.

Here’s a photo of my interior: black leather with chalk stitching, racetex seat centers, and GR belts.
