Default Really strange problems with my Spyder RS.
My Spyder RS just arrived at the dealer, and I was excited to pick it up. But then I saw some ridiculous assembly errors in the photos they sent me. Has anyone else experienced something like this?

Is that the wrong dash (should be racetex)?

I'm not crazy about that stitching job on the bottom, either.

No wp, the driver side also has the same problem

should be leather, but it's obvious they made a mistake.

Definitely a mistake and I'm surprised your dealer didn't catch it. Those pieces are fairly easy to remove. Should probably take 10 minutes for the dealer to replace once they have the correct pieces.

That's interesting. I actually like the RaceTex dash, one of the reasons I went with WP on GT4rs!

I actually like it. Especially since you opted for the leather trim. You have a natural belt line with Racetex on the bottom and leather up top. It's very unique and rare from the factory. I say embrace it!

You're spot on; it really looks like they did this on purpose.
