Custom leather stitching. Like?

Dear C6 Forum readers, your opinions please...

On C6 seats: custom leather stitching, do you like or dislike?

Just like certain colors, or certain color combos?

Thanks!

Cheers,

Definitely like adding some color to my all ebony interior. Yellow is my choice.

Obviously you want to coordinate the interior accents to the rest of the car. No yellow with red, etc.

Do you mean stock C6 seats or aftermarket?
Both Caravaggio and Recaro make beautiful seats.
IMO, the color of the stitching should match or complement the exterior color (e.g. yellow stitching on a yellow car, red on a black car).

Here's a pic of my Recaro Pole Position seats:

Thanks for the responses!

I'm considering ordering blue stitching with blue exterior, or red stitching with black interior & white exterior.

It looks like you can get stitching with the dark titanium interior. Anyone got pics? Seems like it may have too much going on.

Cheers,

It's real nice I have a red vette with cashmere interior but I think if I got stitching I would get black red would be a little much for me.

I agree with you. With the ebony interior in my red Vette I think red stitching would be just right.

Factory options on 4lt are red blue or yellow. $395 option with 4lt package. I ordered my 4lt with dark titanium so it's coming with dark titanium stitching. I thnk the stitching adds a nice touch of class. Here is my old interior

The accent stitching is very subtle. It will look great.
