    You are helping me with two impotant decisions, deviated stitching and CF Switch Panel vs. Alu. Look. Stunning!



    I agree. Great pictures and the combination suits just fine.

    Howevery, deviated stitching depends on the contrast between leather and yarn. The bigger the contrast, the more nervous it appears. Have seen white stitching on a black leathered Carrera convertible and that stitching pattern was way too busy...

    Re: OK, Its Finally Here

    I love the leather with the stitching, but... am I the only one not liking the carbon fiber?

    Another thing, may I use these pics in a portuguese auto forum, for some Porsche entusiasts?

    Re: OK, Its Finally Here

    Awesome.. Finally got too see CF rear console w/ turbo lid & CF door entry guards w/ leather inner sills!! IMO best combo's!!

    Leather PCM & CF switch panel look great too! My car will have many of the same option combo's but in black.

    I noticed you kep your seat backs stock, did you think about leather seatbacks?

    Hope you dont mind I res-sized a couple a pics! You really did an incredible job w/ the interior!!

    I think the only thing you missed was the leather edged mats... Nice car, real nice.

    Re: OK, Its Finally Here

    Thank you for the great pictures. After four month of Leather Console - Carbon console, I finally settled on Leather. Now seeing the Carbon along with the console lid with the stitching & model logo - it's back to the drawing board. Leather or Carbon!!!!!
    Oh well I guess I'll just go and and think.

    Nice right. That's what I was trying to tell you but didnt have any pictures... Cosmetically that's my favorite part of a Turbo's interior (CF Console & Turbo Compt. Lid)

    I'm in the same situation as you, trying to make up my mid w/ another option (leather seatbacks). But to me it's the best part about spec.'ing out these cars.

    Is the headliner standard alcantara or did you order the leather one? It's hard to tell in the photo. The car looks great.

    Re: OK, Its Finally Here

    Hey Turbocharger, Really amazing interior, probably the nicest I have seen.

    2 questions: The white (deviated) stitching around the Tip Lever, did you order Option "CFA" Tiptronic Gate Leather and then Option "09991" All Exclusive Options Deviated Color to get that stitching deviated?

    Also, the deviated stitching around the Leather Sunvisors & Dome Lamp Cover, did option "09991" take care of it?

    Re: OK, Its Finally Here

    Yep, the leather sunvisors, the tiptronic gate and the dome lamp cover are all exclusive options so they were covered by option 09991. Any option that starts with a "C" falls under the "exclusive" option palette so that should make it easy to figure out what is included.

    Re: OK, Its Finally Here

    Yeah Atomic, I agree with you completely in theory, it's just that my salesperson was not 100% confident it would all work out (I did order CFA, dome lamp leather, sunvisors leather & 09991). My car is coming in November and I'm slightly concerned that something will be f'd up (although I couldnt make a change now even if i wanted too...).

    Didn't you get that documentation that comes from Porsche (I forgot what it's called) which confirms your exact order?

    My bet is fups originate from the dealer, not Porsche.

    Can you imagine the embarassment from Germans if they couldn't fill an order correctly? With the Italians it would make sense to have a few superficial errors now and then. BOTH of these comments are intended as positive compliments to both cultures.

    Re: OK, Its Finally Here

    Yeah MMD, I got the Pro Forma Invoice, but look at how many people got screwed on the deviated stitching on the manual shifter boot, because no one really understood they had to order the real aluminum shifter knob option (DAD or DAW, something like that) to get the stitching on the boot in the devaiting color. The vast majority of dealers had no clue about that until a few of the guys on the Forums figured it out. I'm just being a little anal, I need to chill

    I sent an email to P Exclusive to see about deviaited stitch on the smooth leather of the CF Wheel. No Joy as the CF Wheel is not an exclusive option.
