I'd be a little worried to select MB stitching too because the MB is already very loud on the outside and by choosing the silver, we're able to kind of tone down the interior but still have it unique because of the deviated stitching.

I can ask tomorrow and see if they can price it out. Have you by chance seen any cars on the forum with MB stitching? I did see that one video where the guy had like 4 different colored wheels and stitching of one color on one side of the car and a different color stitching on the other side of the car. Too much for me but as long as it's for the owner, that's all that matters.

They won’t let you add memory or do any mechanical modifications. Basically CXX is paint, leather, and similar. All cosmetic options.

Someone mentioned painted air intakes... I know they meant side ones... but here is one with that and more! Personally not my cup of tea!

No !
I do like the red Spyder logo though, especially for a white or chalk car, different.

CXX will paint the mesh intakes, at least they did on some GT cars.

Interesting about painting the intakes in Miami Blue. I kind of like them in black. I did actually ask if they can be done in carbon fiber. I suspect they will say no but again, you never know until you ask. Any other suggestions? I'm not into stripes and logos on the car so all of those options are out. Plus I don't want to pay $1295 for vinyl logos and stripes.

My wife is worried that I'm going too far with trying to make the Miami Blue led light happen. I really like them and I feel like they add just that little bit of extra personal touch to tie the car together since the inside is basically black with the silver stitching.
Please keep us posted about that.

I would definitely go for CF side intakes, air blades, and rear diffuser. Kind of like the light weight package in CF of the cayenne coupe.

They said no to all of the carbon fiber bits and pieces that I asked about.

That’s too bad. I guess good for my wallet?

I ordered spyder classic interior. I am not a fan of the trim pieces in GT silver, even though that is my exterior color.

I can find parts for CF centre console and dash trim. But I can’t find CF door panel inserts. Wonder if CXX will do all CF interior trims. I already ordered CF buckets and door sills in CF.

It won't hurt to ask but keep in mind that I was told in order to do any CXX options, I have to order a minimum of $3000 worth of CXX options. Changing the LED light color for the illuminated door sill option is about $1330 if you're interested and need items to hit the $3000 minimum.

I wonder if the weave of the dbcarbon is same as OEM CF on dash and centre console.

I think I read on here the CF buckets already have a different weave than the dash/ centre console/ door sills. Prefer not to get a third weave pattern if possible.

I know, picky, right?

I haven't ordered anything from DBCarbon, yet. But my understanding is that their parts have the same weave and glossiness as the OEM trim pieces. I'm considering ordering their vent replacements to get rid of the shiny chrome.
