Off the top of my head, that's $5600 worth of green stitching.
It'd certainly make the spec a real looker and as much as it would set off the black leather, I don't think you can get too much of a good thing in this instance.
Almost have to see all those options applied before you could determine if it should all be part of the package. A bit hard to visualize otherwise.
Great spec to date tho, look forward to seeing it.
Eduardo, that RS almost looks bleached out, washed one too many times compared to your 997. Great post.

It won't be that much. Like I said, a lot of those are redundant (one is normal, one is exclusive), so it'd be a lot less. Doing my quick math, I think it's closer to $3K. For me, that's worth it to have a nice, subtle color in the interior. Nothing is worse than trying to get all the stitching deviated and missing one or two small parts.

I am in agreement with my 'comprade' Chris on this one. Err on the side of doing it all! But if you want to keep costs down for this spec car, one suggestion is to elect stitching on the dash, top of doors and top of rear panels similar to the scheme done in Two Tone interiors! Or just do Two Tone 'Black/ Grey' interior with the included deviating stitching!
But here is something I would love you to check with ''Porsche Exclusive', Geoff! The deviating stitching options on the dealer order guides for the 991 are for a finite set of allowable colors. As of two weeks ago when I was talking to Sascha at the PCA Parade in Salt Lake City, PAG was not set up to allow deviating stitching in a non-standard color like 'Green' (as used on the RS interiors in MY2007/2008). My understanding is that Porsche is negotiating deviating stitching options in a limited variety of additional colors so that it could be coordinated with PTS colors like this wonderful 'Green', but they were not there yet as of mid-July!
I will go into more detail as to why these deviating stitching color selections are limited when I write my post on this subject on the other thread I have going called 'Custom Ordering a 991, 'Porsche Exclusive' and You'. And if you can't do 'Green' at this time, I will have an alternative suggestion for you re: color choice.
I'll be adding my suggestions to you spec on my next post. I am currently on the road from Carmel to Shell Beach on 101!

The ones in green are definite. I'd have to see what correlates to the other ones to know. It isn't a direct comparison to 997, so I'd have to see the schematic. FWIW, for $390 options, I'd much rather err on the side of getting it all than missing something and being forever pissed....

Green stitching and other stitching colors are not on the internal configurator, there are only set colors like Agate, Lime Gold, White, Black, Silver etc... I talked to our guy yesterday about this topic and he said that there are over 1,000 colors available for stitching, but only for the Z-Options, listed earlier in this thread. He helped to match the thread on the Chartreuse 4.0 #1/600 and said that there is a thread color for every single color that will match perfect or almost perfect. The only exclussion for these colors is the stitching on the seats, where you can only order their pre-selected set colors...Depending on how long the stitching takes to do, we are likely going to go with the GREEN HIGHLIGHTED options that Chris picked out.

I don't believe the factory 'hot weather' package is standard on the MY2013 991 on the US market. This was designed for Middle East type desert climates and has an additional oil cooling radiator in the front bumper. If it's standard in US for MY2013, it would mean that this third 'center mounted' radiator would have to be included on every US car and that would conflict with the soon-to-be-announced optional 'Adaptive Cruise Control' which is located in exactly the same location on the front bumper! Besides, the bean counters at VW would never throw that expensive plumbing for free as a standard n/c on this market!
