I was the guy that said 10K in my write up from Atlanta. That is the only answer I received that varies from Lapis. I was told 10K at Atlanta while configuring my car, they told 10K afterwards in an email. Dont get me wrong, I hope 9500 or 8750 is correct.
The only answer I can add here is I begged for back seats on the Touring, they said no way now, no way 6 months from now.
My guess about why you were told $10K for CXX seats... did you ask about 18-way CXX seats with the seat back shells in leather also? On the 18-ways, the seat back shells are normally a metallic grey plastic. There’s and option in the configurator to have those in leather, which also gets you the same stitching as in the rest of the car. That option is just over $2K. If you do CXX seats and want the seat back shells in leather with leather and/or stitching or piping to match what you choose from the front of the seats in CXX, you can do that also, again for an extra charge that’s several hundred USD higher than the standard option in the online configurator.
Lonh atory short, the combined cost of CXX seats with the seat back shells in leather would be about $10K. This would NOT apply though to the LWB seats since their backs are CF and there is no option to do their back shells in leather.
One other possibility.... if you do LWB seats and go CXX for them ($8750 again), some also ask for the plastic pieces on them that the seat belts go through to be painted in a custom color, say, to match the exterior PTS color. That option is not included in the CXX seat option and costs extra. Probably enough extra to make the total cost around $10K.
Does either of the above scenarios apply to your build?
Here are close-up pics of the 2 different colors of houndstooth cloth available.
They look fairly similar at first glance, but the agate/oyster one (top) is warmer/browner and works well with dark brown leather or agate grey leather, which has a warm/brownish tone to it.
Unfortunately, PEC Atlanta doesn't yet any any samples of the newly announced houndstooth in chalk/blue, nor any pics to show me.
Any insight if this will be available on the GT3 w/o touring package?
There was No indication that the darker black aluminum interior trim that’s standard on Touring will be an option without Touring. Same goes for the other unique trim of Touring, which includes darker aluminum door sills, black cloth seat inserts, or chrome exterior trim. Some of it might be doable with CXX custom tailoring, if at all, but price would be much much higher if done that way.
Last weekend at Road America for the Pirelli GT3 Cup Trophy race I happened upon a Clubsport MR that that the Recaro P1300 seat with a houndstooth fabric on the inserts. The owner told me he actually went to Manthey in Germany to purchase the car. Very cool.
