Deviated stiching help

Does anyone have picture of black leather with artic silver stiching and or white stiching? I ordered basalt black turbo with artic deviated stitching and want to make sure I shouldn't have gone with the white.
Thanks for any help!

I have never actually seen arctic silver stitching but I have seen white, yellow, orange and red in person and they all look great. I worry that white would become dirty/stained too easily. I wonder if the arctic silver stitching is different enough from the standard stitching to warrant the enormous cost. If you do order the deviating stitching, make sure you get all of the areas covered as the steering wheel and/or shift boot are too often forgotten.

I have black leather with white stitching... no problems as far as cleaning goes, or keeping clean for that matter. I think the silver would look good as well. My car is white so silver would've made no sense, but on a black car the silver should be enough contrast for you. Either way you'll be happy. Here's a pic, I hope it helps. -Showking

Great looking interior! And it is good to hear the white stays clean.

We finally get a photo of Arctic Silver stitching! Definitely more contrast than the standard stitching. It looks particularly good with the carbon fiber.

Then Porsche wouldn't be able to sell as many ridiculously priced deviating stitching options to suckers like me.
