Possible missed options:

FAY - Carbon Fiber Dash
IL6 - Sueded Microfiber Seat Inserts

Of course, there are tons of other options like stripes, different floor mats, sill plates, cargo shade, etc.

Anyone else concerned about the longevity of the suede inserts? Does this material wear well? Suede tends to look worn after a few years.

OP: Congrats! Look forward to seeing the pics!

I'm not the slightest bit concerned. There are plenty of threads in the C6 forum on how well the microfiber suede has held up (was available the last few years of the C6). It's not real suede (which would not wear well for seats). It is man-made microfiber that looks like suede but wears better and has much better stain resistance and is much easier to clean.

I was told the order was accepted but I still haven't heard where its at in process. It was ordered about November 5th but because of where I live I can't really drive it until April or May so I haven't questioned it too much yet. Even though I would like to see it in the garage, I was hoping GM would let me pick a delivery date so someone else could take delivery on a car they could use before I can but I was told, you get it when you get it...

Great choices, be careful of the carbon fiber dash, it is still on constraint and adding it at this stage may delay your order as has happened to me.

I was not impressed with the Carbon Fiber dash WAY TO DULL (polished would be better) and doesn't the 3LT already come with suede?

3LT in Brownstone only has additional suede on door panels and dash. The seat inserts are not suede unless you order the option IL6.

The carbon dash is matte so it does not reflect......spend some time with it and it look good.

Only the Brownstone interior includes micro-suede on the doors, dash and console.

The micro-suede seat inserts are optional, as is the upper suede treatment (pillars, visors, headliner, etc.)

Note that with the competition seats, you also get micro-suede on the steering wheel and shifter.

For the OP, I recommend the micro-suede seat inserts, to complete the look, plus they are very comfy.
