Deviated Stitching - THOUGHTS?

one more...

I'm ordeing my meteor 997TT with natural grey leather. any thoughts on deviated stitching? I tend to be understated so I'm not sure. DJ says doing the deviated stitching in white looks killer. I will be going with the PCCB.

Thoughts?

My only piece of advice is if you do it, check all the boxes on the order list...meaning, don't just get it on the seats and shifter, get the entire interior in the same color stitching.

Scott911 is infamous around these parts
+1 for getting doors, dash, center console, EVERYTHING in deviated stitching. It looks killer and it REALLY makes all the leather stand out.

They have a light silver stiching that would look really good with Natural Gray

Yeah, I didn't know any better when I placed my order. When the car came in I was a little upset that there wasn't more of a contrast on the stitching with the black interior. Had I known ahead of time about the lack of contrast I would have done it in a heartbeat.

I ordered every possible deviating stitching option on my GT3 in the light silver color. I love the look.

Which means you have to order the rear center console in leather in order to get the deviating stiching on that...Also some other parts I am not sure of need to be ordered in leather so that you can put deviating stiching on them
