I would do full learher over a front lift. Both are must haves for some people.

It's better to have a lift and not use it than to have no lift and need it. Very polarizing subject. Just my experience, no lift would be a deal breaker for me personally.

I'd get full leather and the lift. If I didn't have the lift, I'd scrape every time I go in the garage. This version is really fast.

I'd drop the for-cost paint if you are looking to keep it cheap. But color is such a personal preference, who knows. This car looks great in all colors.

Having the Sirius/XM antenna would be a deal breaker for me.

I would add full leather for resale. I wouldn't even think of buying a vinyl dash car. Other then that, good build.

As has been mentioned options are very person specific and you appearing to be buying as a specialized track car and have a nice spec imho.
However, if you bring re-sale into it you'll be selling in the "real world" and, again in imho, a lift is the most required item on the car (I literally couldn't get it in my garage without it and still scrape with lift if I'm a bit keen!!). Also I think the leather option would be reqd for resale. Everything else will depend on the person viewing the car.
Good luck and congrats on the allocation. Btw SBM will get you an extra $10k on resale value

Seems a lot like my build, even the color. I got a lot of the same comments and wound up which full leather. I didn't take sat radio because I didn't want the antenna and would likely stream anything I want over BT. SXM is almost obsolete IMO.

Do you know it will be built?
