Good point. Get silver or white stitching and keep the interior clean, which you should be doing anyway.

I think it comes in Arctic silver (the color you might want instead of white). White might be a bit too much contrast w/natural grey int. You can really get creative. I am not a fan of red or yellow stitching (especially red) but hey to each his own. Thats the beauty of building your own car instead of taking it off the showroom floor.

I thought deviated stitching was only available on 'most' stitches, not ALL. Make sure you get a final answer on that so your not dissapointed if 90% deviated gets delivered to you, not 100%. I have seen seats on a turbo with about 3/4 of the stitching deviated, that's all I know for sure.

Good point! Make sure the color in the leather does not get on the stitching. That would look horrible. Be very picky about the brand of leather cleaner/conditioner you use. Some brands might extract the dye in the leather and others night not. Porsche makes its own leather conditioners/cleaners (the brand I use) but do a small test first. Keeping the interior clean is a must. I would research it a little more. Anyone else have an opinion on this?

Didnt read all posts so apology if duplicating something already said

Most important option to remember (I forget code but its a Z option) is "DEVIATING STITCHING ON EXCLUSIVE OPTIONS"....Otherwise the stitiching on the steering wheel WILL NOT be deviating (I know from painful experience)

Also, I would not go with white stitching...

FYI - standard stitching on black and natural grey is light grey (silverish) so no need for deviating IMO unless you want to do yellow to match the seats

Not true on black, the standard stitching is more like a charcoal - medium grayish stitch. I was kind of upset that it wasn't more of an lighter color with the stock stitch. If I had known I would have ordered the deviated stitching in light silver or white..
