lol. If I had a dollar for every time those words come out of my mouth. Whatever. It's only my kids' inheritance. I'll send them a thank you card.

What do you mean by "bottom panel"? Now I'm intrigued. My freeze date is February 2nd.

Besides the seat back, you get the hinge, control panel, and coat hook. You need the 18 ways to get this option.

What a lot of people don't realize is that this option isn't just about changing only the back of the seat to leather which includes the deviated stitching but the sides of the seat as well. It seems that everybody that says to not get this option always says that it's the back of the seat and nobody will ever see it. Well not true because 1. if you have the Spyder, you'll see it every time you go to put down and up the roof. 2. what people always miss is that the sides of the seat are in the same silver plastic.

I didn't realize this on the 18 way and when I went to see this in person, it caught me off guard because nobody mentioned it and kept only talking about the back of the seats. Well, the 18 ways has the sides of the back rest and seat cushion in this silver plastic. Now, you might not see the back part on a regular basis since only the top part is exposed from the back but you'll see the silver plastic side pieces every time you open the door and in and on a car that has very few silver and chrome accents, the silver plastic trim pieces on the 18 ways look extremely out of place and dare I say it, cheap.

The picture I attached (not mine but from an earlier post) shows 3 red circles. The top circle shows what you'll see with the top down. The circle in the middle is the silver plastic trim that I'm referring to on the side of the seat. The last (lowest) red circle is the seat cushion which I guess on the 2 ways are black. Don't know what material but on the 18 way, it's the same silver plastic trim piece and when you spec this option, it's covered in leather except for the 18 way seat control panel.

I know this is an old thread, but still very relevant for those of us in the configuration process.
Currently a few weeks out from my freeze date of a BGTS.
Considering the interior options. Although I found this looking for backrest shells in leather, this is an awesome photo confirming that I DO want the steering column wrapped in leather.
I am doing the GTS interior with stitching in carmine red and still deciding on the backrest shells being wrapped in leather. I think this photo shows me what I need to know.
