Thanks - I'm extremely happy with how it turned out. And the Carrera red interior is much richer and deeper than it appears in the harsh direct light of the cell phone flash used for that one picture of the interior
I think you'd be surprised. The black tires, air intake, and other bits (depending on your option list, like LED headlights) would help tie the mirror bottoms to the rest of the design.
Congrats. I think you'll find it well worth the agonizing and seemingly endless wait.

All of you - thanks so much for walking me through this process.

Pm me your email address and I will send u the pics. I have two tone espresso/brown, red/black, and all espresso. Don't don't think I have the black/plat with GT silver. Personally, I think the platinum is too light especially if it's a daily driver.

IMO extra 3k for a slightly different shade is not worth it. Silver cars- stay looking clean longer, don't get as hot in a sun, and according to AAA have lowest accident rate. If the car is silver I am happy.
GT silver and PCCB is included on TTS. If you have to have GT silver consider TTS depending on other extras you getting you and your budget

Get the GT Silver with Sport Techno wheels. This way, you get "free" painted wheels because the ST wheel is already painted GT Silver with the polished aluminum accents.

Sound right. If plat silver were still available as a std color I would have gotten that over the GT silver and saved the $3,100. Now plat silver is a PTS color costing like $5,500. IMHO, rhodium is not warm enough for me and my past two cars have been iridium silver MBs so I needed something a bit different and warmer.
