I am ordering GT Silver w/Cocoa, PCCB's, & some Carbon. Yellow stitching would tie in the ceramics but may be "too much". Need your ideas.

Thanks.

I will pick Silver.if I were you.. that should work well with Cocoa...
Since mind a white TT, I pick white stitching on Cocoa.

I've gone the GT silver/ Cocoa route/ PCCB too. I agree with alexWS6, the yellow stitching might be a bit too much.

I have the adaptive sport seats with the seat backs painted GT silver and silver fabric seat belts. The center console is painted GT silver as well.

Didn't do the carbon fiber, but if I got to do it over again I'd probably look at the stitching in the same thread silver color as the seat belts. BTW if I ever figure out how to do it, I'll post pics.

I'd not choose deviated stitching with cocoa interiors...Anyway some carbon fiber will fit perfectly

Here's our handiwork on a GT Silver/Cocoa 997:



GT Silver Rear Center Console on Cocoa Leather. Leave the stitching alone. If anything, silver belts. But they will show dirt very quickly. Black will be fine. Spend the money elsewhere.

Eric, I wish you post this earlier. This is one great shot on the Cocoa with silver stitching. Too bad I already placed the spec to my MY08.. knowing white get dirty easy but still can't resist after doing some photo shop for my upcoming car. Hope it work out right...

Are you sure that's silver stitching? Looks more like light brown to me.

The picture in my avatar is the car I sold in November. Gt, Cocoa, Painted Console, Adaptives, no stitching, Thicker Steering Wheel, etc. Just like this picture.

No stitching, they come silver as standard and that would match perfectly.

OK - Yellow is out. Even my dealer, after I told him no yellow stitching, said that he was worried about what he was going to do with this car when I traded it with the yellow stitching. He also said to thank everybody for talking some sense into me. Now it's no stitching or silver. Decisions - Decisions
