Fine tuning some things and wondering if anyone can explain what I am missing in the following:
1. Jump From 2LZ to 3LZ is a difference of $6520 for simply the Nav/PDR ($2225) and upper trim inclusion. Are we saying we are really paying $4295 just for TRIM? Heck, as I dont like the Kalahari with DSOM, I am even wondering if the 1LZ to 2LZ jump is worth it...
2. Are factory GM Mats better than Lloyds?
3. Roof Options - I am considering the Carbon Transparent (Polymer I believe) but, if I remember from sitting in a 14 earlier this year, my impression was that it had a feeling of ... soft plastic ... that might scratch very easily, and possibly even be a bit noisy at high speeds. Does any of the new owners have experience with this hood? Is glass the safer bet or, for that price ($1200) stick with stock and consider the glass 3rd party? I am especially interested in thoughts regarding the noise comparison.
4.Expel Ult - From Ontario (Niagara) so.... has anybody had this done (or anything similar) in the GTA? Pricing?
5. Tinting - I have had 4 vehicles tinted down here at Niagara and every job has been great. When I read the threads now though, people are speaking of different manufacturers of that tint. Any thoughts?
6. Rims... I am looking seriously at the Spectra Grey but... humming and hawing as I travel alot. If I buy base nickel rims, I can probably get them powder coated for that price ($525) and powder coating will provide a MUCH better result with respect to sustainability and chipping. Thoughts? Dare I remove tires and supply rims for such?
7. Calipers... Stock is red which just might really suck for a kalahari car. It is $625 for black calipers. Would I be a fool to pay this rather than having them redone after the fact or would the consensus be 'Don't you dare remove those calipers?'
Thanks ahead... order in with a Spring delivery with 2LT DSOM Coupe/Auto/CarbonStinger/NavPDR/ for sure...redoing the garage in the meantime and getting ready for order adjustment when auto comes off constraint.
And yes... I am well aware that I am a bit anal, and still dreaming but heck, I figure if I am going to put up with this hell from the wife for a 100K car, it might as well be worth it.....she is not happy as it moves our Caribbean home purchase back a year or two...j/k
