Question on 2008 coupe
I have a friend looking at a 2008 coupe that appears to have a 4LT interior (dash, embroidered 2 tone seats). It has HUD as well. The dealer is listing it as a 2LT. There are no heated seats. My question is can a 2LT car have a 4LT interior? The car is in Delaware and I'm in Florida. I need an answer ASAP. Thanks.
Here's the car.

I don't see a done dash; I do see two tone seats which was an option. It could be a 2LT imo. Plus, the fact that there are no radio controls on the right side of the steering wheel tells me this is something less than a 3LT which I have. It may be hard to believe but I'd guess that a Chev dealer selling a C6 probably/maybe knows what level of upgrades there are on the car.

What it is is a car that the prior owner had modded with the HUD unit.No htd seats,no seat memory,base console door = 2LT at best.Not a 3 or 4 LT and to much money with that mileage and that's a base dash with aftermarket lettering inserts.

Thanks. I knew some things looked a little wonky. My confusion was with the Corvette script on the dash as it does not look like the add on letters. I have not physically seen the car. I did notice the lack of steering wheel controls for the radio but wasn't sure if it had to be a NAV radio for those. It wasn't available on my 06 and my 13 has NAV.
My friend is going back to look at it again tomorrow. The HUD was installed later. I see modified seats were an option so it appears this could be a 2LT car.
The out the door price is at $30.5K. Thanks for the quick responses. This should give him some more negotiating room should he continue to pursue this one.
Just confirmed it is definitely a 2LT car with the build sheet. Thanks for everyone's input.

I have the same two tone interior on my 3LT 07. I have radio controls and no nav so you don't have to have nav for the controls. Dash looks like the stainless steel insert. Wonder what happened to the fuel rail covers? Maybe the broke them putting the headers on?

If that's true, I wonder how the dealer certified the car? Might want to have the dealer also check for a tune....just saying, full disclosure/knowledge by potential buyer is good.

Thanks. The fuel rail covers were painted units and presumed to have been kept by the prior owner. The dealer has installed stock covers since the photos were taken. My friend has struck a deal and it looks like he'll be taking delivery on Saturday.
