Default UV with LO interior

Anyone have pics of a UV rs that has LO pulls/belts/stitching/12o'clock? i'm considering doing a UV with black wheels, uprights, script (replace all silver with black on outside). and doing LO accented interior. and, either begging CXX to paint pccb calipers LO (most likely unsuccessfully) or do it after deliver. it would nix all the silver and be UV/Black/LO colors. as a friend mentioned, fedex theme

if not LO as accent color, maybe even red. i'm just kicking around something other than yellow as accents, which will involve me painting calipers to LO/Silver/Red, whatever.

any pics/examples of someone that has done UV with LO inside would be helpful (i'm guessing they are few and far between).

to be clear, not the full blown LO interior, including seat inserts. just 12 o'clock, belts, stitching and door pulls. i've never been a fan of colored inserts/ceiling, etc. i had a gt2rs with red everywhere and it tired on me quickly.

When mine locked the 12 o'clock wasn't available yet.
I have LO with black inserts black seat belts, so really only stitching and door pulls are LO.

I like it.
Same with my 4.0 the all red got old quick.

I just got the same as TRAKCAR but with the orange 12 o'clock marker. Didn't do belts because I thought it would be to much and they'd get dirty quickly. Looks great. Thinking about painting calipers but don't really have to. No other orange accents outside so red brakes (in my case) go with the tail lights and rear reflectors.

Not the best example, will take more tomorrow. It isn't jarring at all if you are worried. Belts might be too much for me but the wheel stripe is perfect with the stitching.

I went with the FedEx theme that you're describing with the exception of the steering wheel marker, which wasn't offered at the time my order locked back in Nov '15.

I'll have to upload pics later, but I can tell you that it's definitely a unique look as I'm assuming 99.999% of UV owners go with the standard GT/UV combo if they don't opt for CXX options. I honestly like my LO belts, door pulls, and stitching with relation to the UV exterior. And I've been wanting to get the PCCB calipers painted LO since I received the car back in Jan, but the ultimate laziness has set in.

Oh yeah, I also went with black wheels and uprights too. For those with the standard UV combo, then the GT interior would definitely play well with the silver accents of the the wheels/uprights.

Here's one j took today. So little LO close to the paint it's hard to capture. I love it! Honestly, don't worry about it looking overdone.

thanks for the example. i'm torn between painting calipers to match the standard option LO interior accents or doing some CXX yellow interior items to match yellow pccb calipers. I realize once it's delivered and i actually get behind the wheel, i won't care or ever notice again what color the inside or outside are. until then, it gives me something to obsess about.

And just to add some perspective of the LO belts too.

My UV with yellow CXX stitching, should arrive this week - I can post pics if you would like.

I'm more on the boring side of the fence when it comes to interiors. I passed on a couple of SBM gt3's with red stitching before I was able to spec my own (platinum stitching). I think many people overdo/overthink stitching/belts/trim. I would go with platinum in a UV, unless I could special order yellow to match PCCB. If you care about resale, it will help you to keep it simple.

^^^My thoughts as well. Platinum if you can't get the yellow.

My original thoughts were pccbs and yellow belts, yellow 12 o'clock stripe and CXX yellow door pulls (default platinum stitch). Black wheels and CXX black wing uprights. I think I've come full circle back to my original build. Simple but nothing about a purple car is boring.
