You are right the crest isn't very prominent on the alcantara, I would have much preferred it on the headrests but since I didn't get the LWB It was a compromise to get it on the console.

Love SBM and silver wheels. Wish they were still making it. Congrats on getting one of the last ones!

I did the black door handles and the black mirror lower portion to carry the black accents from the Wing ends and the air intakes…also did the black lower rocker panels in black rather than all blue - so far I don't hate it but I'm not sure I love it either on mine - but I love the SB color and I'm sad/happy to see it go as an easy choice for customers

You would be surprised. Why else do you think it holds the premium?

Now that you see the crest on the alcantara, would you order it again?
