I think that will look great Dave. Only thing I would
Look at changing the aluminum break lever.

Dave -

Welcome to the dark side.

My thoughts after owning my turbo for only 3 months (daily, year round driver):

1) Absolutely love the Adaptive Sport seats. I have two settings programmed in--1 for daily comfort, and 2 for hold-my-ass-in-cause-we-going-to-get-crazy. I love the side bolsters for the hip area and the lower back. I tested both at Chris' dealership in Cleveland. At that time, I didn't notice much difference just in the showroom, but after driving with them for a few months, I see a world of difference in terms of support (lateral and comfort) compared to the standard seats.

2) Ditch the all red taillights with the orange. JMO.

3) Reconsider all of the orange bits inside. The orange bits could look very nice if they are select and few. In particular, I would not do the seat belt outlets. With that said, I agree with salihbjk in that the interior could REALLY benefit from more carbon. For example, orange door openers with carbon surround (finisher) and carbon center console.

4) Multi-Function Wheel - I too went back and forth. In the end, my car does not have it. There are times that I wish I had radio control on the wheel, but the stereo really isn't that far away. It does have Nav control also. Just thinking out loud, I could go either way on this one.

5) Rear Wiper - I also live in a snow belt. The wiper could have some use in this regard (a few times a year), however to me it just ruins the asthetic look of the car from the rear. This is admittedly subject to personal taste. I went without.

Good luck and happy hunting.

IMO cRaZy for a car of that MSRP not to have PCCB's.

Really not a fan of exterior paint on the inside, just looks too pimp my ride especially when you're dealing w/ bright colors like yellow or orange. When was the last time you saw factory orange paint on the inside of any very high end sports car? Make the interior as upper end as possible, lots of leather & or CF.

I didn't mean to select the aluminum brake lever,...I'll have to review.
I thought that option DAW needed to be selected to get the deviated stitching covered on the center (i.e. "rear") console. I'll double check.
