This is a nuance to some, but I think that carbon fiber on the center console looks unnaturally placed and tacked on. It may be just me, but I think the center console looks more natural in leather, with carbon on the dash and doors. Just my couple of pennies.

+1 on the exterior painting

+1 on leather touches compared to carbon. i would opt for the small carbon pkg and the rest in leather.

i would also include stainless entry panels

This is what I am trying to achieve in a 2 not 4. Had the duck tale on the original build but removed it in the end.

I appreciate your input

Glad for your comments, I think you have a point. I am happy I decided to post my build, I am getting a lot of great input

Are you saying keep the carbon strip on the dash and doors, get rid of the carbon sill plates and console trim. I changed last minute from sill plates in stainless and console in leather, opted for the carbon. Its hard to tell on the configurator how busy the carbon would look. Have you seen it on the console?

Fwiw, I love the carbon sill plates, illuminated with the carbon on the dash and doors.

Thanks for that. I think the red belts will stay(adds a little sportier look to the interior). I was never too sure about the white dials(could also be hard to look at)

Thanks for everyones input. I spent a couple of hours today at the dealership made a number of changes based on a lot of solid input from you guys. Have plenty of time before I lock in, also going to be in LA for the car show and may have some changes after that. I will post my final build at the end of Dec. FWIW I think I am going to maximize on the leather options with the 14 way leather seats and ditch the sport plus alcantara. Cant seem to determine if everything would have deviated stitching if I went this way
