As you can see man my hidden stitching is definitely white but all the detail stitching is black. I think black would look nice on yours for a bit of contrast

Thank you so much Fox, that was exactly what I needed for pics. I'm pretty confident that the black is the way to go as well.

By the way is that red side panel on the right side slightly longer than on the left? It appears that way in most of the pics I see of the 11-13s.

[Fox197]

Yeah it is because the way the passenger side seat trim matches in. I'll take a few more to clarify

Thanks for all the pics, I'll ask about the bow filler next time I can get them on the phone which isn't so easy with how busy they are.

BTW, where do you live?

[Fox197]

I'm in Aus about 2 hours west of sydney.

I'm getting mind from storage this weekend. Mine is a 2013 and pretty certain the threads are not black. They appear dark only because of the pattern. My interior is white and gray, with blue piping.

My fault...my threads in the checker pattern are indeed black. My 2003 197 had white threads I believe.

I am told by my dealer that MC went away from white thread in the late 2000s because it was so hard to get clean but who knows

KY, would you mind posting some close up pics of the French seams and some of the regular seams. The French seems are the ones with the extra stitch on each side of a normal seam
