If in a full leather car the rear tunnel has stitching, I will cancel my deviated stitching order as dev. stitching of the rear center tunnel is not an available option currently.
Yes, regarding this it's called "Center tunnel rear in leather with decorative stitching" And it also includes the armrest console lid stitched.

It's unrelated to "Full Leather interior". A full leather car without the special CTRILWDS is just a hump with no stitching and the console lid is missing stitches too.

Great to know! Now with all the currently available deviated stitching options which I've selected, you have confirmed that my Carrera red interior will not have non-deviated stitching on the console lid and rear tunnel.

Absolutely beautiful car. I can't wait for more detailed pics and a review. My PS car has been delayed twice.......original completion date of 1/30 when I ordered in late November was pushed back three weeks to 2/21, and now I have been informed that all deviated stitching orders have been delayed up to 8 weeks. Now I'm told my production is scheduled for late March/early April.

The GOOD news is that I was able to add PDCC to my order, only adding one day to my build date.

Congrats! Beautiful interior!

Making me very hard to wait for C4S... I might just visit the dealership tomorrow for C2S order...I wonder if Expresso will work with Basalt Black though...

Eric (and others that have seen the full leather interior) - do you think a car WITHOUT the leather dash but optioned with the "door panel in leather" option would look ok? For some reason I keep wanting to add this option but can't pull the trigger on full leather. I know it's splitting hairs but you have to draw the line somewhere on price

If you could do the dash in leather and leave the doors alone, you be able to see the leather all the time. Don't know if this could be done though.

You can do the dash only but have to go the full leather route with the seats. It adds up quick. The configurator will let you add the door only option without the rest though. May be a bug?

In the mean time here is some more eye candy from inside my 3.5 car garage (cramped with 3 cars in it so it was like taking pics in a phone booth at night.)

So the blueish shots are an accurate representation of the Light Design Package which illuminates the interior in a "xenon color" LED glow. At least I think this is what the LDP is :/. Then I took a few shots with the light off to show the true hue of espresso.

Also note the real tunnel between the back seats has the stitching as does the center console lid. The option were attached to one another unfort. But they look good.
Great looking build! Enjoy it in good health!

Hey - I wish could speak more intelligently about the door leather option. I don't know enough about it. But my car does NOT have the door panel in leather - but below is a photo of my door - plenty of stitching.

Isn't that door pic the definition of leather door panel? What am I missing?

I think leather doors and regular dash would look fine.

Eric, thanks for the pic! However, I'm 99% certain that those are the leather doors. A big help though, I do think they would look just fine without the leather dash.

That's my car - I 100% do NOT have the leather door panel option.

Absolutely the best interior color I've seen. Major kudos.. can't wait to see more pics of the exterior/interior shots together.

I will go out on a limb here, but you must have a package/selection that gives you a leather panel door. That door for sure is different than a non-leather door. It looks great, btw.

Anyone have a standard door shot for comparison? I can't seem to find one at the moment.
