Deviating Stiching
#31
Aqua blue exterior and black interior with yellow contrast stitching? Better than the red, I suppose -- but I would still vote for "less is more." I love contrast stitching - but, IMHO, with an aqua blue exterior, you should go with a more subtle combo.

I have a most subtle combo, black with light black/grey. Although, I would have prefered silver to match the exterior I bought the car used. I agree that it is a all or nothing option. Iam just glad I will not be discovered on "Pimp My Ride" with 20"chrome.

i was lucky with my 06 c2s. slate gray exterior and black full leather interior. it came with that regular gray stitching and looks good with exterior and didnt cost any extra. that was nice. i agree totally that its stupid to have ten or 20 different options from porsche. cause people want them all to make it look nice. im curious to see what will happen with my audi r8v10 stitching when it comes. i hope its everywhere..

It would be much less expensive to just order a new car with deviated stitching. Probably would take less time as well.

I actually knew the answer - I was just hoping you might surprise me... But that's okay. When I drive my new toy home next week, I won't even give the stitching a second thought!

Like others have posted, Porsche could make the process a lot simpler and less expensive.

HUMMM3 , I am really interested in checking out your cars pictures, since I am also going for Aqua blue exterior color. Could you provide us with a link to your car's pics of the interior and exterior?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I have a Guards Red car with black interior and red deviating stitching and I get loads of positive comments on how much better the car looks with the deviating stitching. Well worth the extra $

adding deviated stitching
There is a way to add some deviated stitching. Porsche will sell most of the leather parts as replacement parts and if you order the part based on a cars VIN that originally had the stitching you want, then it can be done. It is EXPENSIVE. I bought a 09 turbo-guards red with black int and added quite a few leather parts including the inner sills, AC vents, Defroster vents and rear center console with lid. I bought the parts from SUNCOAST. they have almost all the leather parts and get them direct from Porsche. The parts cost more than if you had ordered them with the car but not crazy expensive. They told me today that if i wanted to get a rear center console with red stitching to find a car online or wherever with that feature, get the VIN and they can order it. They also said that it is much, much more expensive. Porsche sells the rear console for 1260 and the lid for around 400 when you get it with the car. My console was 2000 and the lid was 400 and that was w/o deviated stitching. I am finding it difficult to get certain parts such as the clothes hooks in leather, fuse box and have not found a car with those options to get the VIN yet. My dealer said he would help. Please let me know what everyone thinks.

for them it only comes up as having the lid, and that the car has deviating stitching, but they cant guarantee that they will make the lid as i saw...if it is a direct replacement part based on a cars VIN, it should be made as i saw...only problem is non returnable w/o guarantees...likely gonna take the plunge...i saw the car myself so i know it was built with what i want

I have clothes hooks in black leather on my car - PM me of that is what you are looking for. I also have the fuse box cover in leather, but my stitching is yellow so it will be no help to you.

I love deviating stitching and wish my car had it but I think it's crazy the amount they charge for differnet color thread.. I mean the interior already has stitching. Is It that difficult to change the thread color out. I sure the have some of their sewing machines with the other color already in it... Just saying

I am ordering a 2010 turbo cab. there are 7 options for deviated stitching and i am getting them all (black leather with white stitching). but none of them say anything about the steering wheel or handbrake. one of the 7 options covers "all exclusive options", so this will cover the rear center console which i am getting in leather, the pdk gear selector gate in leather, and the storage bin where i am getting the porsche logo. but i don't think my steering wheel and handbrake fit into that exclusive bucket, and the other 6 options don't mention those. for the steering wheel, i am getting option 840 (3 spoke pdk sports steering wheel with shift paddles) but this doesn't look like an "exclusive" option. and for the handbrake, i wanted to just keep the stock handbrake. so, with that said, what will the stitching be on my steering wheel and the handbrake? if not deviated, how can i make sure it comes that way, as i agree with everyone here that really everything should be deviated.
thanks!
thanks!
