Nice look ..I had some custom made to mimic the sharp lower leading point and the tapering slenderized swept-back-as-it-rises " shark fin " profile of the 70s/80s stone guards as in your first pic above :



Did you wrap around the PDLS as well or did that come like that? I was under the impression that trim was silver (I want black as well without spending 3k)

Did anyone go for the standard beige interior? I am stuck between black and beige. Black seems like it needs a few colors in the interior (whether its painted elements or gauges) to make it more unique. Otherwise, the plain black feels rather plain to me.

I just do not know if I can justify the extra 4k for upper panel leather and dash leather. I have a feeling I would look at it on delivery day and think "that looks really cool" and then never notice it again. Would rather through the 4k at other options like PSE and chrono.

The beige, even in standard, looks quite nice.

I went with standard black, but I should have gone with beige!
By all means, go for it. People will tell you that the dashboard will be too reflective in the windshield, but don't worry about it. I've test driven it in blinding sunlight and it was fine! The beige/tan interior looks so classy and hides the plastics a lot better.

My thoughts exactly. My price ceiling if I go new is about 100-105 and I think the beige does a fantastic job hidding plastic (as you stated)...it just looks exceptional. I wish with the amount of money we spent on these cars that the dash would just have leather with stitching.

I admit the glare was a concern as I wear script glasses but I suppose if it was that bad I could buy a mat to cover that area. This is only a weekend warrior so I'm confident it won't bother me as if I had to stare at it during sunset Monday - Friday. If deviated stitching wasn't so damn expensive I'd go black leather with red stitch to match the guards red build.

Rodolf, very nice (and please do play). I pick up my C2 next week, and besides AWD it looks a lot like yours: GT silver, bordeaux/black, MT, no sport-chrono. Nice choices!
