I’m usually über picky about things matching, but the GT4RS yellow legend doesn’t bother me at all. Honestly, there’s a lot of colors happening in the 718 interior.

Just sent a request to Exclusive Option to see if they can do GT4RS knob with a Graphite Blue leather boot and Racing Yellow stitching. I struck out with other vendors because Graphite Blue leather is apparently extremely difficult to source.

Nothing too exciting but purchased the Sportshifters.com

All knobs and leather are customizable as well as weighted and makes a huge difference in my ‘24 GTS. Easily lowered (approx 1” max) without any mods to OEM other than removing the knob. So simple, even I could do it!

They are great to work with and will pretty much do anything you request (within reason) to let you customize as you like. The Alcantara does look good and being able to to have numbers/letters painted to your basic choice of colors is a nice option as well.

I noticed the chalk stitching... My incoming 718 has chalk stitching... Mind posting a picture of that interior? :)

I don’t think I have taken many other than the day I picked it up. Still has the cardboard floor covering but here you go. I need to take some additional pics.

+1 recommendation for sportshifters.com, the weight, the matching of the race-tex and the lowered height are really appreciated.

Swapped out the stock PDK shifter/selector with the GT4/Spyder one w/ the black leather book. It requires an addition piece of trim for the hazard/door lock switches. The GT4/Spyder selector is slightly shorted than the stock unit. These parts can be ordered by your local Porsche dealers parts dept via the following part numbers:

Selector Lever Black: 982-713-120-8YR
Trim Cover Plate: 991-553-651-01-A05
