Default GT2 Specs settled

Well, here are my proposed specs for my GT2 for May Euro delivery: Basalt black, Black leather interior, black floor mats, speed yellow belts,footrest in sports look, PCM Package Painted Black, Black painted finish gear lever trim, interior package carbon, switch panel package carbon, rear center console carbon, door entry guards, carbon , illuminated, Sport Chrono and Sound Package Plus. The only thing I am not settled on is yellow deviated stiching,stock stiching or maybe black deviated stiching.I also intend to put the Rennsport steering wheel in. If I go with the yellow stiching I am commited to that look whereas if I leave it alone or go with Black stiching any color of belt down the road can be installed to change look. Any thoughts or comments welcome.

I would rather get the yellow deviated stitching and ditch the painted PCM package- which is essentially 2 large for a damn 30 cent piece of plastic. to get the stitching dirty on the dash board you'd have to drive the car into a lake of mud- which at that point the "value" of the car would be moot anyway.

My thoughts on painting the pcm package black is to get rid , in large part, the volcano grey plastic look which is the cheapest looking part of the interior and with all the other stuff in carbon I will have acheived that. Agree that price for that option is ridiculous but a black painted pcm looks significantly better.

with this darker exterior color I'd probably go full tilt with an all out carbon effects package, and as it is such special car, it would wear it well without looking overdone and would serve the purpose of eliminating much if not all of the cheaper plastic parts

also would go with the yellow stitching and yellow belts

I don't think you will be looking at the PCM when flying down the road in the Gt2

Wheels will be painted black when I get the car back home. May consider yellow pin stripe on outer edge of wheel but likely go with just jet black.

save yourself the cash on the factory option and have the bumper plugs dude on here or someone else paint it for you for 20 bucks.
