Fantastic pictures!! Thank you for doing this.
I'm settled on Torch Red but the car looks so nice in so many colors I find that I am constantly second guessing myself

Yes as someone else mentioned in another thread I'm thinking of Kalahari 2LT.
for 4K.
When I look at what some aftermarket companies are doing for interiors I could save the money, wait for better interior to come out and do the doors/dash for a bit more than 4K however much higher quality materials. Carvaggio for full door panels and dash is just over 5K, yes its more but I imagine that the leather is much higher quality also.
So going with the 2LT, no carbon dash, again for 1K I cannot image there will be better alternatives, and the look at sprucing up the interior later on.

I was looking at a Kalahari 2LT but after seen your pictures of the Crystal Red 3LT, I am going with that instead.
Also Nav is included on the 3LT and I had added it to my 2LT, so is just a little above 3K to make the change and in my eyes is worth it.
I was surprise by your comment.
The door skins and dash skin was OK but it was not the highest quality leather
Are you saying the doors/dash is lower quality than the seats and console?.

Here are all of the shots I took yesterday.
These are not color corrected. I just started working with Aftershots and I cannot find out how to do batch white balance.
The original sizes are on there but they are JPG not RAW.

It feels thin but that might be a constraint of the design because it needs to be stretched.
If your looking at the 3LT because you like the multi-color look then you'll be happy.
If your looking at 3LT because you want higher quality materials on the surfaces over the 2LT then I think you'll be disappointed.
I could feel/see zero difference between the 2LT door skins and 3LT door skins beyond the color.
The stitching and design is identical on 2LT and 3LT.
I never use NAV so I was looking at 3LT simply for the interior improvement. I do not think its worth an extra 4K unless you like Brownstone since it comes with suede pieces per the pics.

From what I understand from the C7 press release, the 2LT has leather seats and vinyl door and dash coverings, and the 3LT gets Napa leather seats with 2LT seat leather on the dash and doors. So 3LT is the only true full leather pack.

With all of the beautiful color options, this picture makes me feel VERY good about choosing Torch Red

If your on IE8/9 there is a icon looks like a broken piece of paper next to the address bar, click that after going to Photobucket.
IF your on IE10/11 then go to Photobucket. Press the ALT key and you will see a menu pop up, pick View, then compatibility View, hit Add to add the website to compatibility mode.

Can you confirm? If so, what did you think of that color combination?

Wow, the crystal red with kalahari tan interior at the end of your pic set is very, very sharp.

Torch Red with the red interior and Competition seats.
There was a Midnite Racing Blue Convertible w/ blue top and Brownstone interior, locked and could not open.
Torch Red w/ Red Interior, locked but the red really looked good, black wheels
CRM w/ Kalahari, open and that is most of the pics. The CRM had the roof off, Z51.
Cybergrey 2LT w/ black, that one has Chrome wheels, non-Z51
Cybergrey 3LT w/ Brownstone, Z51.
Yes the grass was tall.
The Red interior really is nice and I said I'd never buy one.
