Default FINALIZED my RS build...!

Sat down with the GM today and finalized the build.

Only one CXX option- leather wrapped steering column.

Feels good to finalize it!!

Considered yellow stitching.... But I just couldn't justify the $6k cost.

Same with the painted engine cover at $4,000. Ouch! I can have a local (top-notch bodyshop do it for far less).

Now the wait til January continues to be brutal.

Not sure if you are aware, or care...your door pulls will be silver and your belts are yellow. Unless you specify/pay for different color pulls.

Yeah.... I'm ok with that.

Appreciate the heads up though! Good looking out.

You think it's final, just wait! I've changed mine probably 10 times over the past few months! Will be glad when the damn thing locks. Yana at Exclusive has to be sick of getting my emails. Congrats on a great build.

Why Sirius? The roof wart looks terrible, especially with the wrap you want do. Not to mention that cell phone streaming options are far superior.

I second that.

Phil, the correct spelling for the color you choose is: LAVA!

Congratulations friend, nice spec. When does it lock? That's the next milestone and relief. If I were you, I'd start on the therapy sessions now! I waited too long and was just sent this instead of my helmet bag.

The wheels aren't going to stay silver (I think) so it doesn't matter, correct? Silver is the best color to start with for powder coating?
