Default Artic White with AR interior in 1LT or 2LT?

Seems many have ordered their Arctic White Vettes in AR and 2lt. Would like to hear opinions from owners and their choices. Would like to stick with 1lt, but not sure if I would like just the red seats. The 2lt I saw looked great with the red interior. Also does the red leather get dirty, and is it easy to care for and clean. I am also considering an all black interior. Any others? Thanks.

We love our AW vert with 2LT AR interior. No issues with cleaning the seats. The additional red accents for the interior are just right. The car looks great we added red calipers and put red "stingrays" in place of the Crome on the fenders. Our last vett was a C5 Electron Blue with Black interior. It was a great car but time for a change. Get the 2LT you will love it.

Easy to maintain. I went 2LT, the extra amount of red is just perfect.

If you get 1LT, go with the black, 2LT go with the red. Red in the 1LT looks like the seats were transposed from another car.

Here ya go. Sorry its not a very good pic. . Oh mines a 1LT. I love my 1LT, don't mind that its not fully loaded. Its a bargain and i got a great deal. My car does have almost 7k in options. Thought about a 2LT that was stickered at 69k but then thought to myself, i might as well shell out another 15-20k and get a Z06. Each to there own! Good luck, you will be happy either way.

Doesn't the 2LT have additional options like heated/ventilated seats, heads up display, etc? Not just the additional red in the interior? I went with the 2LT for a couple of reasons not the least of which is the Pacific Design Package is only available with 2LT or 3LT and I just could not justify the step up to the 3LT.

PT109, if you like the 1LT w/AR you could check with a forum vendor. I've read a thread where a member bought an AR console cover, and the strip that runs down the side of the console for his 1LT. Said he is happy with the results. Just a thought.

When I first got my car, I was hestitant on how the seats would hold up to blue jeans. Have 4k on the car and seats have held up better than my previous sierra coco brown seats. Very happy so far.

The big draw of 2LT to me is dimming mirrors, subwoofer in audio system, and heated/vented seats.

I've got AW with red 2lt interior.
I rate it like this. On a 1-10 scale, 10 being best.
Color red to black 8, I would like a bit more red, do like the red stitching on the black.
Comfort features:
seats 9, heated and cooled functions work well in mine.
Bolster and lumbar support 8, will hold you in place, lumbar a bit high for me.
auto dimming mirror 8, better than in my C6
eye candy 9, gets attention and comments.
cleaning 10 easy to keep clean, does not show dirt. As with all new leathers there is a protective sealant that will help keep stains off the leather.
Bose system 9, the extra speaker helps to bring the system to life, there is a noticeable difference between the 1lt and the 2lt sound systems. And I am hard of hearing!
I am really happy with the 2lt and believe that it is money well spent.
Heads up 5, not much to be said here, to many features are missing.
