Default RS Allocation lock Need Advice

My RS order is locking tomorrow for a 2016 Jan/Feb build and I need some opinions on some items I am on the fence on. Current order.

White Exterior
Full leather with black/Lava orange alcantara
Lava Orange stitching and belts
PCCB
Axle Lift
Bucket Seats
Nav
Sound pkg
Phone module
XM/HD radio
Fire Extinguisher
Color match keys and headlight washer
smoker pkg
long range gas tank
Sport Chrono
Black wheels
Carbon Illuminted door sills
Aluminum pedals
Black LED lights
Interior lighting pkg
Alcantara armrest
Leather steering wheel and shifter
Interior lighting pkg


Here is where I am stuck.

Black LED's or Black Xenon's?
Black/Grey Full leather with stitching or Black/Orange Full leather with stitching?
Alcantara steering wheel with orange at 12 o'clock or leather steering wheel?


Input will be appreciated. Thanks.

Personally went with the black LEDs since i really like the running day light, and find them cooler..

I first specced the leather wheel, but when i got a feel of the alcantara, i eventually switched.. Gives u more race car feel..

Love your build but go with the Alcantara steering wheel. Other than that, that's a great build!

Congratulations on the allocation. Beautiful build. I have almost a similar build. Which is currently sitting somewhere in Germany at V300 status. I went for black leather seats with LO stitching, alcantara steering wheel with LO 12oclock pointer, and black LEDs. I thought the black/orange seats will be too much for my taste. The other thing Id recommend looking at will be the white dials. In mine I ordered a white sport chrono dial and left the rest.

why sport chrono? it does nothing an iPhone app cannot do. unless you like the wart watch of course. my built is very similar, i was just in doubt about a color cash between the CCBs and the LO orange, but now i tend to think it will come out cool.

- XM/HD Radio adds a box to the roof which looks worse to me and I think XM is a useless service these days. You can plug in your phone or use bluetooth for whatever music you like. My dealer offers it to me for free all the time and I still say no...
- Phone module isn't needed at all
- Stick to Alcantara Wheel

I did black LEDs because they are not as black as the black Xenons and because they look more modern.
But... it's just subjective opinions...

Why not the orange interior? For not much money you can switch 99% of it back - you can't get it anything other than a RS without paying a ton more money. This one is very personal...

There really aren't many places they add it and I was a fan on the 4.0. Not seen it on the RS in person, but if I don't like it I don't want the boring charcoal inserts anyway - I'll be getting a green and orange tartan made up

It's personal opinion of course. What do I know?
But aesthetically to me, if white, then go with the white/grey/black/yellow theme. I would go pccb, yellow belts, yellow door pulls, 12 marker, silver/grey stitching inside, silver or grey wheels, maybe white gauges. I think introducing LO interior bits on a white RS won't look right.

It's a $200 car (or $344k if you bought from the stealers on this site), don't go Orange interior. I have seen it personally and it looks like the interior in a Jeep Wrangler at SEMA.

I did orange stitching the rest all black interior, black belts, black seat inserts.
Door pulls are still orange, need to make those black still.
