Default Leather Interior - Center Console

Can someone who has a leather console send me a pic of how it looks in the GT3. I am also considering the trim strip if there is a pic of that.

Just to head off some comments.....

I daily drive my car, but like some extra fulff
I will take it to the track.
If I am real concerned with the added weight of these components, I should consider a diet myself (and quit drinking wine every night)
I do not want carbon fiber pics, not a fan.

Thanks in advance for the help

The leather console will look good for sure. Don't think too much about the added weight, it really isn't that much, especially for a dialy driver. I love leather too, I would even get the Rear view mirror, lamp cover, steering column, and gear lever trim in leather on top of centre console.

How much is it now w/install? I know it's $1,200 or so when speccing the car.

It's gorgeous. The stitching ties in nicely with that of the center stack (in full leather cars); console looks like it was always intended to be leather. Will try to post a pic.

if you are not specing the car the be a CUP car with a licence plate and you dont care about losing on resale for these high $ options, then go for it.

it is really nice having all the detail finishings.

Absolutely beautiful! And +1 on the gear lever trim in leather. I would definitely order this option if it were offered on the RS.

I did full leather and gear lever trim (XDZ) on my .2 GT3 which just arrived two days ago. It really does complete the leather package, imo. I did skip the leather console, only because of the cost.

If you want seamless leather and stitching I think that you also need to order the bin cover with the crest, otherwise it does not have any stitching. I know this was true for my Carrera S order.
