I do think it will be either paint-to-sample Orange or Signal Yellow.
What about a PTS Fayence? I freaking love that yellow.

That's a good one too, but I like the more 'orangey' yellows.

the Lexus ISF is like that, looks sharp.

Off topic a bit.. But I just got an ISF.. the stitching is sharp, but you really have to be close to notice the blue on the black seats and trim.. doesn't stand out like Black/Red or Black/Yellow

Agreed...you can order the blue stitching but it won't stand out the same way. Now, I've seen plenty of Cobalt Porsches with ceramics (yellow), yellow belts and therefore yellow stitching, and it works pretty well.

didn't know about it.

The Black/Blue stitch of the Porsche interior really stands out as it is a light blue stitch.. The ISF is very dark blue

I dont know if I like that combo pictured. The dark blue on black like the ISF I think would go better with the cobalt. If the turbo was going to be painted a lighter color then I'd say it could possibly go well but not cobalt.

I think the yellow dev. stitching looks bad on Cobalt. Just sayin', buyer beware and all that.

If mine was cobalt it for sure wouldnt have deviated yellow everything inside. Deviation works best on neutral colors like white, grey, black at least IMO. Adds color to an otherwise plain car. I do like the green GT3RS' with green deviation tho...thats nice

Guys this aint a big deal. If I had ordered a 997 Twin turbo and mine had come in like that -would I throw a fit? No- I would just make them order me a new boot and ****. I have a shifter boot and carbon gear **** from a TT. It takes about 20 minutes to change with ordinary hand tools yourself. BUT had I ordered it and it was wrong I would just make the dealer order it and replace it. Really its one of the easiest mods you can do! (change the gear **** and shifter boot.)

Thought it wasn't that easy. If your car didn't come with those options, you cannot order it after the fact, Porsche won't let you do it. The only way to order those afterwards is to find another car with those options in the exact color combo, enter that car's VIN into the system in order to order replacement pieces.
