Very nice. Please share pictures when you bring your car home...and lots of pictures too. I would especially like to see the painted seatbelt passage as I didn't know that was even a possibility on the Spyder so curious to see what it looks like.
Thanks for sharing. I've updated your data.
So the build date was 2/3/21. Delivery this Saturday. Some pics of my Arrow Blue Spyder:
If you ordered the leather dashboard option with stitching by the windscreen, top speaker and dashboard sides, would you kindly post a picture or two?
Trying to get a better understanding of how much more stitching gets done with that $1610 option.
Thank you very much.
Full disclosure, Bearrun21: the gentleman who ordered this had far more creativity and courage than I do, but (presumably) did not want to deal with uncertainty of the conrod issue. I’m just the guy writing the check after a friend let me know it was available. I will post pictures…picking it up on Saturday (my friend is picking up a Club Blau Spyder at the same time that is even more customized than mine). Here is the option list for my Spyder, which may or may not complicate matters for you.
The posting of your window sticker helps tremendously. Thank you for sharing that information.
...and enjoy that awesome looking stitching every time you look through the windshield and open your door.
Try to have a decent weekend.
(Enjoy the heck out of it.)
With my blue stitching, the stitching is much more subtle than the yellow stitching that TXshaggy shows above. The leather is nicely applied and lays down nicely. The only really subtle leather is the dashboard vent trim (the long ones near the windshield) which you can only tell is leather by the seam at the side of the vent and the way it all blends with the rest of the leather dash.
My dashboard end caps are different in that they are leather where TXShaggy's are Racetex. I'm not sure what was optioned differently there. The end cap was included with the Dashboard Trim Package in Leather for me. (The odd look on the carbon fiber there is a camera artifact).

I just got my delivery date April 14th in Leipzig! Time to start planing my trip. Sure hope that Nurburgring and SPA open early in May!
Many thanks to TXshaggy and Stormrune for the outstanding photography work on the leather dashboard package.
For me it sorted that I'll do the steering column wrapped in leather and upgrade my visors to leather (which also requires the light design package). I know I am going to miss the windshield stitching...that's a detail I never understood...but once you see it...you can't 'unsee' it.
Get the pleather visors and have Classic 9 Leather Shop (https://www.classic9leathershop.com/) cover them in leather, with deviated stitching, for less than $500, which is less than half of what Exclusive Option charges.

Thank you for that thought. I didn't know about Classic 9 before your post. And in this car, roof should be OPEN a lot; hence I'm not thinking light design package is going to be worth a darn.
My build locks on 11/29, hence the many small decisions I'm contemplating...

I have items from both and their quality is on par, but it is much easier to communicate with Andrew at Classic 9, for less than half the cost of every item. And I had them redo my pleather sunvisors and they are perfect.

I had no intention of ever selling my 981BS until i stumbled into this allocation three days before the lock date. Have since sold the 981 and can’t ******* wait until my PEC Atlanta pickup.
