Default 2015 Kalahari interior

Will the 2015 Kalahari interior still have Brownstone carpet. I would be happy if I could order Kalahari floor mats.

As in 2014, the 2015 Kalahari interiors come with black carpets, not Brownstone. Only Brownstone interiors come with Brownstone carpets.

I'm bummed about the black carpet too. I will seriously look into having the car re-carpeted in as close to Kalahari (saddle tan) as I can get very soon after delivery. I can't help to think that just changing out the black rear carpet to a lighter color will help keep the car cooler. I also am very sorry that the complete Kalahari dash cover from the 3LT will not carry over to the 2015 Z06. Just the "eyebrow" trailing edge of the dash looks incomplete IMHO.

Default tan mats

I have Kalahari interior in my 14 with black carpet, I thought it was too dark. I ordered tan mats and rear mat from Patrick, GM Partshouse and it made a big difference. Pictures in a previous post.
Good Luck,
bill

And I like the black against the tan color. I am surprise to see so many don't like it.

I'm with you on this one. I really like the contrast.

Me too ... I love it the way it is ... Seems right to me. I have had mine since last October and have not changed my mind.

Default Look closely at your black carpet - it is brownstone

2014 Kalahari interior comes with Brownstone carpet. Check it our closely and on order form, etc. I still want a Kalahari floor mat and the closet Lloyd color appears to be 510 or 530. Eklers was very helpful in sending samples.

I have a 2015 on order with a 3LT Kalahari interior. Is it true that less of the dash is Kalahari on the 2015? I also thought the carpeting would be black. Is it really brownstone? I'd like to be sure before I order LLoyd's Mats. Do the Lloyd's Mats come in a matching brownstone?

The dash on your 2015 will look just like that of a 2014. The change you're referring to will only be on the Z06. As for the carpet color, it's always been my understanding that it's black but at least one person here says that it's Brownstone. Perhaps others here with the Kalahari interior can chime in.

Look at Chev. Acc. website or on any site that sells Lloyds. Brownstone (and I agree it looks black) is the color for Kalahari.

If you lay something totally black on it, you will see a major difference. It's has other colors mixed in.

Sure but the point is it's not Brownstone.
