Re: 997 - Red Stitching Pictures
Looks nice. That's the color combo I have in my Stradale.
What color is the exterior ?
Does anyone know if the deviated stitch is available yet in the US ?
When the 997 Turbo cab. comes out I'd love to get silver stitching on black leather with an Artic exterior.

Typical Porsche! Unlike Ferrari where there's 1 option for deviated stitching, you needed to order up to 4 options on the 996 so that all stitching came "deviated." Looks like the same is true for the 997.

cheesey...looks like a baseball glove
You have to see it LIVE to be able to get an opinion about it. I saw it before on pictures and thought the same, especially since I saw a REALLY baseball glove looking stitching on an Audi TT Cab recently (a friend's wife got a used one) and I didn't like it at all because it looked very very baseball glove stitching like.
The pictures actually show the red a bit TOO bright and the stitching itself has the same size like the original non-coloured stitching. It may look a bit overdone in the pictures but I assure you that it looks great in reality.
In my opinion this is a better option than the bi-coloured leather but to each his own I guess.

Remember, red is the most difficult color to capture and display properly. Even if it was captured properly, most monitors also have alot of difficulty displaying it.
So whether its a 997 in red or an inside view of a 997 with red deviated stitching, it is best to see them in person to get the true perspective of the color red.

Yep, Carrera S with black dials. I tried to get the black dials for the Boxster S too but right now it seems to be impossible. The suggested red dials would have been a bit too much red for my taste (and my wife wouldn't like it either) but I really think that a black car with red stitching, red seatbelts and red brake calipers looks good and not too flashy. Speaking of too pimped out: did somebody see a Mercedes SL with a a two colour tone black-flashy red interior? This would be a bit too much for my taste.
Red stitching on the handbrake lever? I think I ordered that too but I check with my dealer tomorrow. I want to make sure that ALL stitching is red, otherwise it really wouldn't look perfect.
BTW: first choice has been yellow stitching with black leather, yellow seatbelts and PCCB (yellow brake calipers). Unfortunately my wife hates yellow calipers and she couldn't care less about brake feel/performance.

Why is it not possible to get an S model with black dials RC?
Any particular reason?
Is that also true for the 997?
Thanks.

This is strange indeed. You can get red or yellow dials but no black dials (yet).
No problem to order black dials on a 997 Carrera S. I just don't like the silver/white dials too much, it doesn't look too good on a black car in my opinion.And red is too much too, red numbers on a black background would have been nicer.

Typical Porsche! Unlike Ferrari where there's 1 option for deviated stitching, you needed to order up to 4 options on the 996 so that all stitching came "deviated." Looks like the same is true for the 997.
you can order "all stitching in guards red" and thats it
or you specify where do you want the stitching and what color.

But does that include the gearshift and brake?

Re: 997 - Red Stitching Pictures
Can anybody clarify this please:
When is the gear knob top (which shows the gear position layout) black and when is it silver?
Is it Carrera S=silver and base Carrera=black?
I originally thought that it was white aluminium dials have a silver knob and black dials have a black knob but this is obviously wrong because, in the photos above, there are black dials with a silver gear knob.
Thanks and apologies if this has been answered before!

All standard 997 I have seen/driven so far had a silver knob, just the same as in the 997S.
