I would really miss that since my 01 had it and it was a must my on our 08..........time to rethink is now, I would not have ordered a power top but I did want the options that come with 3LT, come to think about it now after my 3Lt order I would now choose 4LT. I went with the two tone interior option, $695....that makes the 4LT package worth looking at a little closer,.....I have dsvettes mods. (console , shift & brake **** with matching boots) along with their steering wheel all stitched to match my Ebony and titanium interior. ......so I must be close to the 4LT option and I still do not have a leather wrapped dash and door panels

Congratulations! Any available color combination on a Corvette is a winner! I hope your dealer REALLY has an allocation for your order - not like my first ordered car...
