Great spec. Minimize the alcantara and get only the options you need. Only question is red belts but not red stitching? I know it will look good but something to consider.

Not sure if you need wheels in satin as the std wheels are very close to satin in colour

I would also add the $720 front light upgrade so it give s a little darker look w/o spending the $$ for LEDs( you can skip the Fire extinguisher and the nozzles in body color)

It appears you are going stripper and I like the idea and build

Congrats

Saw a Chalk Targa at my local dealer yesterday. Looked great. I’ve also seen Miami many times and also love it. Classic and understated or bold and a bit in your face? Kind of like the sky in Portland - Chalk most of the time but those Miami days are great. No wrong decision.

Only issue i have with miami blue is that it only pairs well with the yellow pccb and yellow seat belt. Doesn’t go well with red accents
