An Option a lot of GT3 owners missed

A couple of days ago I emailed Porsche complaining about how stupid my interior looks having all red stitching except the gear lever and hand brake.


Well look what was in the reply!!

Now this is called lack of knowledge our dealers have *am talkin about UAE here*.


Next time I order a Porsche am going to Germany to customize it..

So did you end up getting the red-stitching after the fact or no?

If you want deviating stitching on all interior trim, there are many, many boxes to check. Too many as can be seen by the plethora of custom ordered cars where one item (shifter, for example) gets missed.

I wish porsche would have an option for deviating stitching that covers the whole interior at once.

Deviated stitching should be a one shot deal that covers everything. In my opinion Porsche makes it brain damage to order a car custom and I backed away and bought one direct from a dealer as close to spec as I could because of this.

I think the red vents and red electronics "surround" is too much.
White gauges would've looked better

Aren't the wheel and shift knob the two options that Porsche does not have on the options list in deviated stitching? Almost every stitched car I have seen has this issue. I think very few owners are able to convince Porsche to do it at the factory, others get it done in the aftermarket.
