Default Photos of base interior

Are there any photos of the base interior yet?
Or at least of an interior that doesn't have the carbon-fiber trim option?

I don't know if you have seen this as published in the sales guide, nor do I know if they help to see what you are looking for but here you go.

IMO the interior get uglier as they increase in price. Sometimes less is more. The blob of color on the passenger side dash of the 3LT is awful!

I saw the red up close, and touched it, I can say picture doesn't do it justice.
It's beautiful.

Wow - thanks! This is very helpful to see actual photos across the levels. Seeing them in person I've only seen the 3LT option. This really helps seeing the 2LT.

3LT two tone dash: very classy. Will look awesome with the top off or in a convertible where you can really see it.

Negative: It's almost 15% of the total cost of the original base MSRP car itself. ($52,000 base + $8000 3LT)

Does the red match the Torch Red exterior or is it more like the Crystal Red? Different pictures make it look like a totally different color.

Thanks.

I like the finish of the non-carbon fiber dash. I was expecting to see a flat plastic utilitarian piece. That kind of looks like carbon flash in that pic though it could just be grain in the photo.

The Red compliments the torch red well (I saw it at Chicago). I'm ordering it on mine.
When you ask if it matches, that's a bit tougher to answer. It is not the same color, because red leather cannot be the same as red paint. It seems quite a bit brighter than the old red interior, not as bright as the torch red exterior.

The Torch Red exterior and the Adrenaline Red interior go together very, very well.

Do NOT suggest Adrenaline Red interior with the Crystal Red exterior.

Wow, there is nothing I want from 2lt or 3lt models. The random dash and door colors make it look super tacky. It's as if you brought your Civic to someone's back yard for the street racer package. And believe me, red is the best looking for this sort of random trim. In other colors it will totally look tasteless.

All black for me. If I were to get anything off color in the car it would be seats only anyway or some tasty true aluminum pieces, like the **** and pedals.

That is an opinion......right? After all the base 1LT in black would be a very small minority..in my opinion. It could be based on fact in 6 months. But like you it is just an opinion.

I have not idea what you mean. Based on the info laid out in this thread I would pick 1LT for sure.

I generally integrate my android in my car and built the alarm and sound system, so there is nothing in the 2LT and 3LT as outlined above that would interest me. That's $8,000 savings apparently!

The 2LT Package is listed at $4,210, and the more I look at the options listed in the 2LT package, the more I begin to not like it as much. You get an added subwoofer to the 9-speaker system, HUD, Memory Seats, Heated/Vented seats, and slightly more adjustability to the base seats. Honestly, I just want HUD, and I'm willing to bet it can be installed in a base car easily under 1k. I'm starting to think that the 2LT package isn't as much of a deal as I originally thought, and when you stick with all black interior it makes it just the same as an all black 1LT interior...

By the middle of the C7 production cycle, they will probably leather wrap this part of the dash

Isn't it nice that they created 3 trim levels for us to choose from? Its something for everybody! And the new 1LT is equal to the old 2LT so even if you go 1LT you get more features than you would have got in past. WIN-WIN!!!
