Default Gentian Blue Deviated Stitching Thoughts

Thinking of doing Gentian Blue with Racing Yellow deviated stitching. Never seen this in person so hoping to get some thoughts since configurator does not show the yellow. Do the colors work well with each other? Does having standard brakes with the red calipers throw it all off and make it seem odd? Would hate to spend all this money on stitching to find out it looks odd and out of place. Thanks for the input!

I haven't seen this combo but I think it would work really well. Deviated stitching just tends to add a little bit of color without being overwhelming, and really only noticeable when you're inside the car and appreciate the details. I also don't think red calipers would throw it off, though matching yellow calipers would be a really nice touch.

Thank you. My exact goal is to spruce up the interior a bit and add some color without going over the top. Don’t want another “plain” black interior and since going with GTS don’t plan on choosing leather in different color… so needed to find another way and deviated stitching and belts seem like a way to do it.

Alternatively, you could do GTS interior in red? This adds lots of red stitching and would match the brake calipers? It's also not that much color so I think it would still work really nicely with Gentian Blue.

Yellow accents work awesome on a blue exterior, I would definitely go for it.

That said, I am not a fan of red brakes on a blue car (especially if you have a different accent color for the interior). I think choosing the gloss black option for brakes on gentian blue would look best.

Genian Blue. Deviated Yellow Stitching. Yellow Seat Belts. Personally at that point PCCBs or standard calipers painted Black. You could do the tach in yellow or leave it.

Hail to the Victors!! It's not Racing Yellow anymore. Maize and Blue!

I will have a Gentian with all the above yellow trimmings in my hands in the next week or so. Belts, deviated yellow, both dials, PCCB's. I'll send pic's of the stitching and all. Gonna look amazing. For now, enjoy these

I appreciate it's not a 992 but here is a 718 GT4 with the colour combo you are looking at. I find searching CPO stock is a good way of finding such things and not just one's local market.

Gentian Blue with Yellow Contrast Stitching - GT4

Nice. Would have preferred to see this as a GTS4.0 over the GT4. Not a fan of the 718 GT4 wing. Could have also used some racing yellow seat belts.

Thanks at least gives me some idea of color combo. I think it looks pretty good and goes well. Just need to figure out brake caliper color….

Found this which I know doesn't show stitching but allows you to see the racing yellow belts against the gentian blue exterior. Helped me at least visualize things a bit and hoping it helps someone else.
