I would like to see it without the yellow stiching, it may improve but probably not enough for my taste.

For some....its' what is different that makes them shy away, for others it's what attracts them. I like extreme interiors.........but with this one......I don't think the yellow adds to anything.

(picture that guy from the simpsons jumpin up and down going yeehaww yippie kai yay!)


Without the yellow stitching it would look pretty decent tho.

Damn, if they had deviated the gearshift in yellow, I would buy it. That has to be a customer order who saw it in the flesh and ran like hell. Youy will see though, it won't sit too long.

I'm trying to figure out what is going through someone's head when they order that yellow stitching with that color interior and the wood trim.

That's a good thing, otherwise it would have been too much "over the top" for my taste!

Man, that interior is Butt-Ugly!

What I really don't like is the way those fog lights bulge out like that in the front fascia, making it look like ugly fat moles on the face of the car....

It's there I'm sure, just hard to see. I think when you order deviated stitching you get it everywhere there's stitching. I don't think you can pick and choose your spots.

In his case he ruined his car all by himself with his interior mods. When he took delivery it was actually beautiful.

Maybe he "had" to order it in his company's colors so he could charge it off as a "company car"????

Ugly....HELL YES!! But remember the old car dealer saying. "There's an *** for every seat". Someone will buy it.

I disagree. The birch/ash **** in the Carrera GT was done to pay homage to the balsa wood **** from the 917.

I think a small amount of wood like on the shifter, steering wheel and parking brake lever looks very good in a Porsche. I have yet to see any deviated stitching look good in any color and with any combo.

I think the "flash photography" is not giving us a true picture of what the combination looks like.
While it wouldn't be my choice, I'd bet it doesn't look nearly as lame in person as it does in the photos.
I do agree that any "wood" in the interior of a Porsche is misplaced...but a few folks like it.
