XDZ (stitched leather at the front of gearshift and base of PCM) should have been added as well with the appropriate stitching.
hmmm.. I thought having it on the dash and door handles alone were taking less attention, kind of balanced -- but again, I haven't seen it in person the way you describe, may look better..

I agree with 991dev. It is not your fault, of course, but of dealer who was involved in the original order. The ordering process re: deviated stitching is quite complicated first time around for any customer. But a dealer has no excuse. Seats, upper widows, front console (radio area) and probably rear side panels are all in standard, default stitching. But every other leather piece appears to have yellow stitching. In fact, PAG and PCNA should have flagged it down and had made the dealer coordinate the stitching better.

I was looking last year at a RS Orange PTS gt3 at P of Roslyn which had a similar mismatched interior stitching, but orange & light grey (default standard stitching color). These guys should know better since they order PTS all the time.

It is still a great interior! Enjoy it in good health. z356

aah I see... when I was shopping around, I saw couple of GT3s (black and red) with red deviated stitching all over and thought it was bit overwhelming. I personally thought dealer went bonkers with the "deviated stitching" option

imho, the part deviated stitch looks subtle and takes attention off of the seats and more to the dash.. Well, Looks like somehow someone's mistake suited my taste

I have a Basalt Black GT3 with PCCB as well with the deviating yellow stitching in the leather (Dash, doors, seats) and I really like it. After seeing the yellow guages that you have, I am jealous. Great looking car!!!!

thanks. to be honest, I was skeptical about the yellow dial faces -- but when I see it as a whole, they are good.

I had a white 997.1 GT3 just before this one and I really liked the stock dials so much. I thought that leather interiors + yellow stitching especially on the dash will really go well with stock dial as the rpm markers are in yellow and caption is in white on the tacho.. so, I'd love to see the yellow stitching on the dash, doors and PCM panels -- do you any pics of the interior, like a panoramic view..

^ Agreed. I absolutely do not want to infer it was the OP's fault. The car is still very beautiful. I just get so frustrated with SOME of these sales "professionals" who don't know squat. Also, Porsche should have checks and balances in place at the factory. Anyway, still love the color combo! Congrats!

I will get some pics of the car interior so you can see what it looks like. I haven't been good about taking pictures of my car, so I should get out and do it.

More pics under my albums. Just go visit and you will see more. I would like to have the yellow dials to go with the yellow stitching. I think that would really make it all pop. Again, congrats on your great car.
