Red Stitching
When I built and ordered my Stingray I ordered a black interior. If I wanted red stitching I had to order a 3Lt to get it. It wouldn’t come up in the build unless I did 3LT. It appears some members disagree with me. Has anyone seen what I’m talking about?

....or you can order a 1LT with red seats and you will get the red stitching for free.

In order to have an all-black interior with just red stitching alone then yes you must order a 3LT...
That said, red stitching is also available in both 1LT and 2LT if you order red seats or 2-tone options for example...

They can disagree but that is true. The only way to get just colored stitching is 3LT. I went through this as well. I finally decided to do colored 2 tone seats, which include colored stitching available with 2LT. It is pure marketing with colored stitching only to push you to 3LT.

There are several threads on dyeing the stitches correctly. Takes about 2 hours and $12 for the correct laundry markers. I believe GT2 seats and 2 tone option will get you there too for about 2k

If you get a light colored stitching, you can do as others have mentioned and use a fabric marker to dye the stitches the color you want. Easy to do and comes out great.
