As your car is not build as a pure track toy, why don't you choose a classy color?
Mahogany Metallic with silver rims maybe?

Red, white (even metallic) and yellow are more for the track.

I would:
Drop - the painted key
Add - headlight washer to body color
Add - HD radio

BTW, the feel of the alcantara steering wheel is so nice... IMO, on a GT3 it also looks right.

I would order the lime color. You would have the only one. I didn't even order all the leather stuff in my turbo. It's cool but I find it does not add to the enjoyment of the car and leather on the dash can be a pain.

Do not drop the key - It is so stupid you just have to do it for kicks

Head light washer in body color is a good call

Vivian, my sales agent is Jason Ka. He and our General Manager Fred have been entirely "straight-shooter" with the entire process up to date.

Jimmy, your recommendations are solid. Thanks.

For the rest, about the paint to color key, I spec'd it red even thought the car is metallic white for two reasons. First, it will be easier to find. Second, red is beautiful and was a close second choice but deemed too flashy for my taste and line of work. I'll carry the hot red in my pocket instead.

Thanks for all the opinions, including the wacka doodle ones that made me laugh.
