Default Deviated Stitch Error

Another one.. As I posted on another forum..why doesnt someone at Porsche contact the ordering Dealer and give them a chance to correct these stitching errors that are so glaring, before putting the car on the line.

I must be missing something, because I have no idea where the "error" is here. Seen a Maserati lately? Red stitching on black leather is the next big thing.

Check out the shift boot and brake handle.. They missed that.

I didn't think the shift boot and brake were included in the deviated stiching

They are not included if they are standard shifter/brake....they must be ordered from exclusive to have deviated stitching, PLUS the section just ahead of shifter has to be ordered that way too.

So many dealers miss this. No surprise.

Information is power.

They should have caught that. Looks dumb.

We ordered ours from New Country.......see anything missing? Bothers the crap out of me, interior doesnt feel "finished" especially since we have the leather console with the stitching also. All the leather in the whole car has yellow stitching but those three little pieces.

I believe the option that everyone is missing is DAW, which is the leather shifter/brake that allows deviated stitching without an interior to sample. A lot of people pass on it, at I believe $2300, and then realize how much it bugs them..

Right ..And I believe the CDZ (shift boot) is included in the package as long as Option 09991 is checked off. But it still is very confusing and easy to screw up.
