So Torn! HS with Blue to Orange stitching???

ok guys I need your help. I'm so torn between HS with either Blue or Orange stitching. My current build is with Orange stitching but I don't have a clue how that will look with this color. What do you guys think? Hell what will be better for resale. HELP!!

I'm in the same boat! That's the tough thing about being an early adopter, we have to take the risk and hope it looks good

Why don’t you start a vote on Car Colour vs Stiching Colour from people who ordered and that should give you an idea of the combo preference

I went blue stitching. My only rationale was that it matches the seatbelts and other stitching a little better in my opinion. Honestly, not sure you can go wrong either way.

I went Orange stitching (on HS)... to match with my 1M

And orange is closer to red, which would have been my choice.

Personly if your planning to get any Interior M Performace parts I'd go with Blue stitching since I don't believe they are offering these parts with the orange stitching.

I would have preferred red as well.

Blue is safe and will blend in more with HS. Orange will have more pop. It just depends what you're looking for IMO.

You're right, but I figured it close enough. The orange didn't seem to fit really anything in the car. I don't think it's a bad choice by any means, but it seemed the blue fit the car a little better. Just one man's opinion.

I went with orange. Blue will probably go with HS better but, well, I just like the orange. HS is a neutral color anyway so I don't think it will look bad either way.

With either color, I wish they would have done away with the inserts. IMO, both are awful in that regard; the orange is just less so. Which is why I'd probably go with orange...

I think some folks are going to take a shot at making those areas black - Tag is going to try if I remember correctly...

You might be right - I knew it was one of those two.

I don't have the balls to try it. Going to wait and see how it goes for ChrisK first. And it wasn't a Sharpie, some dye pen.
