sun coast has the regular leather/crest versions. The heritage design pepita keychain has been sold out for quite a while.

It's not even for thread. It's just for different color thread. I see you also paid to have different color seat belts too. Different color dials perhaps? Lol. I got all three. $5k for color. Sound stupid and yet I'd do it all over again.

Colored seat belts are a good one. I can't say I've ever in my life sat in a car and said "ya know, what would really make this car is a different colored seat belt!" So my 992 has black. Might be the only one in existence.

Contrast color is a must.

I don't mind black belts at all. I considered them for this car. I prefer GT silver and it was the right choice. It's not about the belts or the stitching on their own. It's about putting it all together and how that makes you feel when you get in the car. I don't see the exterior when I'm driving but I certainly see the cabin and I appreciate being in a space I consider to be nice.

Is this chalk,silver or pebble stitching?

GT Silver. I have Chalk on my Macan against black. I prefer the higher contrast of the GT Silver by a significant margin.

The option I was most looking forward to was on stop sale. Painted air vent slats. It’s probably the most disappointing this to happen to me all year. Maybe all century. I ceremoniously start every drive by pouting for 3 minutes that they’re black and my car is basically worthless.

Does anyone know how to get tears out of RaceTex?

Love this pic. I’ve ordered a GT Silver GTS, full leather interior (plus 930, extended dash, door) with silver deviated and silver gray belts. I love seeing the contrast in your pics as I want it to pop a little.

I guess I have to add deviated stitching to my list then…and seat belts. Agave green on both to match Aventurine Green outside.

Never seen Agave. Light shade I presume? What color leather? Love Aventurine but thought it was discontinued. Did you get one of the last?
