Thanks Jerry! It's definitely not a subtle color and has been turning some heads 😄

first of all congrats! You prolly have it specked just the way you want for your own taste/reasons...but, if you want input, here goes me.
-get carbon ceramic brakes. Wish I had due to brake dust today n these otherwise sweet satin blk CL wheels.
to pay for pccbs, I would nix leather & get GTS interior w rhodium(to go better w blue ext and be a GTS!). Nix seatbelts and dials in red obviously. LCA is not interesting unless you struggle w head checks-and you should be doing them or not driving this car at 90mph. ACC not interesting to me in a car like C-GTS. I use driving gloves in my manual box GTS, but yours is PDK...well why not get a heated steering wheel if you think you’ll use it.
RAS is awesome. FAL I wouldn’t need, didn’t get bc even with California’s steep transitions I seem to do ok managing a low front end car. & I weigh 220. YMMV.

Nice spec. In CA (don’t know your location), FAL is not necessary. ACC in a sport car is unecessary, IMO, unless you plan on doing long road trips. Thumbs up on RAS. If you enjoy music, Burmester is a good option to check. My .02. You’ll love the GTS. Congrats!

I forgot to state approval for sport design rear. It's totally subtle and cool?-worth it IMO
I got stock stereo & it's crap, but I don't care about sound system in this car..at least for now. Too many other senses to enjoy 100%engagement.

+1 on the sport design rear.

One of my surprise favorite options has been the pedals in brushed aluminum. Admittedly, you only see them when entering the car, but they offer terrific grip and there’s a pronounced solidity over the standard rubber. Would spec these again without question.

Smokers package. It’s free. I would do PDK lever in brushed aluminium (free). Make sure you are happy with Black with red details interior and NBM exterior. Not sure I have seen that combo. Could be great, could be a bit much. NBM over espresso is stunning, NBM over black is great. Red details, just not sure ....

PS I like autodim mirrors, but I drive at night quite a bit.

I would ignore everyone’s input on color, too subjective. Get what color you like. You won’t regret the leather upgrade btw

agree with post regarding dimming mirrors, you’re going to be very low to ground, every car will blind you at night without these

i don’t know where you live, I’m in Florida, it’s flat. BUT where I live has a lot of speed bumps and steep parking lot inclines/drainage channels in the curbs. Having said that FAL totally unnecessary for me so I suspect unless you have a situation with steep driveway etc you can save yourself the money and spend it elsewhere.

definitey do smoking package

RAS is awesome

I changed my 18 way to 4 way at last second and glad I did. I slide seat all the way back every time I exit the car to give me more room to swing my legs out. After driving the dealer car with power it was crystal clear I would be too impatient to slowly move back with the electric and would definitely kick the door every time I exit lol. Also I learned in previous cars I NEVER adjust all those other things like bolsters etc. just my 2cents

i agree with previous poster ACC and LCA not really for this car

in my opinion wheel and tire always a good idea.

i have Bose too.....it’s garbage, just fair warning.

otherwise look forward to pics in future!!

+1 for Sports Design. It’s subtle but well worth the $$. Also consider the free options such as smoker’s pkg, passenger side storage net (?), and voice control. I would forego the wheel & tire option or anything that the finance dude has to offer.
