Very nice. Only thing I would consider adding would be Sport Design mirrors in gloss black.

Why? $650 CAD for a slightly different mirror support just doesn't add up.

Because they look better. At least they do to me. You are spending an extra $700 something for a paint option. Upgrading the mirror stalks falls along the same line of reasoning to me. Can even go color matched mirror support if you want to feel like you get more "money's worth" but I would think the gloss black would look good on your build. I hemmed and hawed over it a bit as well and it was the one thing I added in just before my order locked and I have zero regrets doing so. I got the color matched ones for my sapphire blue. The standard stalks are a matte black plastic without the passthrough which are fine on a darker color car but I think they look kind of cheap on a brightly colored car.

Everyone has a line to draw somewhere so I get if this is yours. It was merely a suggestion.

Here's what they look like on mine if you were wondering since the online render doesn't show them well.

Congratulations on your fantastic build! Here is to January coming fast for you.

I am NOT patiently waiting for my 2021 GTS in Mamba as well (when I pick her up it will have been 6 months). So I personally think you picked an awesome color.

I have to say that I agree with @rasetsu on the mirrors. The sport design mirrors do look better in my opinion. On my old GTS I had them and loved them. But on the new one, I didn’t go with the black bottom, I went with body color. The online pictures does not do these mirrors justice especially with the black bottoms. If you have the spare pennies you might want to rethink the mirrors.
