Congrats! Very nice selection of options - and a great looking car. I was looking at the carbon switch pannel selection as well but not at the carbon console. My dealer told me that the carbon door sills will take away the GT3 lettering which I want to keep.

Would you order the carbon switch pannel again?

Love the car, I would have bailed on all that carbon and the pccb's. Black wheels look good, but yours also look great. Nice car!

Lindsey,

you are the new target customer in spades

Where does dealerspeak end....making things up on the fly???

All one has to do is read the order guide, clear enough even a child could understand...

X69 Carbon Door Sil Model Insignia with GT3 logo. $780

what mats are these? ^ your options list has them as the: M6A @$115

That is what I thought I was ordering when I optioned : 810 "floor mats in interior color" @ $140....will they still say "GT3" on them?

and can anyone chime in on whether or not the RS mats say RS on them or are they just blank?

For black wheels, I'm more of a fan of a black car to go with, but I will make an exception for this car because it's sick anyway.

The black wheels are outstanding. I wish I had gotten them.

Thanks everyone. And a special thanks to icon for posting the pics for me. The mats are from Lloyds. I did order mats with the car but I wanted some mats with the GT3 logo on them too.
I have 375 miles on the car already and besides so low speed brake squeal everything has been perfect. This is one great machine.

Glad to see you made it out of the dealer. Your pics don’t do the car justice...it is drop dead gorgeous!

I asked you about your plans for the break-in...I’ll bet you couldn’t restrain yourself on the drive back.

Its interesting that your black wheels have a silver lip to them. Is that something that you specify? The GT3 RS wheels are solid black, and do not appear to have a silver lip.

BTW, your car is awesome!
