Need your help.
I was trying to found pictures of beige sand leather interior, with black stiching. I think it might look great, but don´t want to order it withouth seeing it first. Anyone ever saw or have a car with this spec?
I´m ordering my 997S PDK Cab. with full beige leather interior, so if this option of black stiching might result on a weird look, I will regret for the rest of my life for obviuos reasons.
Thanks in advance.

I'm not at all a fan of deviated stitching but this would have to be one of the ugliest examples of this misguided attempt at customization. Stitching should never scream for attention; it should always be a subdued feature, relegated to performing its utilitarian role quietly.
But black stitching on sand beige leather would scream ugly from here to Timbuktu and be heard loud and clear over there! The stitches would look uglier than the stitches on Frankenstein's forehead, like someone could only afford black thread and the stitching was done haphazardly by hand. Because believe me, minor imperfections in the stitching pattern done by machine will be magnified to look like it was sewn by one eyed drunk seamstresses when done with a highly contrasting thread.
But as we say around here, to each his own. We certainly have seen our share of ugly customizations here, but if it floats your boat, don't worry about what any of us say about it. Get what you really want. After all, you're the one paying for it.

The fact is that there's likely no such photos of this deviant stitching, and the OP was wondering if it might "result in a weird look" if he were to order it sight unseen.
The thread had fallen off the front page without anyone stepping up and offering some guidance. So I offered my opinion in an attempt to provide guidance for the young man in case he was about to order his car this way. You instead opted to criticize my opinion.

Well then why haven't you complied with his request, instead of criticizing my opinion?

Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any pics of this combination to help him out.
No where in my post did I criticize your opinion. I simply stated that he was looking for pictures of the combination and had not asked for opinions.
Actually, you were the one who did the criticizing. Your comments of "...black stitching on sand beige leather would scream ugly..." and "... stitches would look uglier than the stitches on Frankenstein's forehead,..." were very critical of his desired combination and, IMO, excessive. While you are certainly entitled to your opinion, I think you could have stated your opinion in a more constructive way to make your point.

I meant to say "my post" but I didn't feel like going back to make the edit, as it wasn't worth my time and effort to do so. The point was made sufficiently that instead of offering help you decided to criticize my post.
You're making it sound like he explicitly said he didn't want any opinions, when his statement about wondering if it might look weird implies solicitation of opinions. Besides, one doesn't need to explicitly ask for opinions to get them. By posting in a public forum one is implicitly soliciting opinions whether they realize it or not. Otherwise lock the thread as soon as you make your post if you want to stop the flow of opinions.
You're ****tin' me, aren't you?

JSeven,
I know you were looking to a Sand Beige interior with black stitching but here is a link to a car with Natural Brown Leather and what appears to be black (or dark brown) stitching. You will notice that, as so often occurs, the dealer forgot to order the shift boot with deviating stitching.
Natural Brown with Black Stitching
I hope this helps a little.

My dealer showed me a 997TT they order order few months ago with black stitching / magnolia leather, and final look of this combination, feets better a Range Rover or a Bentley than a sports car like Porsche. Anyway maybe the natural brown with black stitching would look a bit more sportive. I ended up ordering withouth the stitching. Thanks all for your help, and specially, Gota911 for his reasonable aproach and attitude to this metter

It sounds like you did the right thing. It's extremely easy these days to overlook some stitching somewhere and viola, it looks bad. (They truly should have a single production code that says, "deviating stitching throughout" but then that would make SENSE!). Unfortunately, even the USA dealers can't help you much with this as they can't keep up with the ever-changing order guides.
