Full leather package, dash, tops of door panels and door pulls, and center console lid. Also the carbon fiber center console is different. It is grey. Did I miss anything?

That's pretty much it. It's all about "Leather Wrap".

Knee bolsters are also softer, something not mentioned. I love the Corvette stitching on the pax side of the dash.

Everyone has pretty much summed it up. I have it and love it. Worth $3800? Not sure. It does however address some of the complaints the press has with the Vette interior.

And it is a common misprint that it cost $3800 since invoice is around $2700 or $2400 more than a 3lt with two tone interior. It all comes down to what it is worth to the buyer. Personally I didn't see the NAV or chrome wheels being worth their price but that is just me. Obviously some feel they are worth it since they are common.

My fault on that. List is $3800 but you are correct.

I didn't think the nav or the chrome rims were worth it either. I got my 4LT ordered without them. I had to order mine as every "in stock" 4LT always had chrome rims and the nav. I think the cost increase for the 4LT is well worth the $$$.

My 08-Z51 3LT has the stitching around the console area (the area where the ac vents,nav & etc) & I was told that the dash & doors where leather.( 3RD world leather) by the corvette mag.Now I'M confused,the window sticker says 3LT. ?? For got:It also has the Carbon fiber console.

Your 3LT does not have leather dash and doors. Your console is black CF where the 4LT is light gray CF. Here is a post comparing the 3LT and 4LT consoles:

You know the cheap leather that our seats are made out of? Well they take some of that and stitch it to a few door and console parts and charge you $3000 and call it an upgrade. It is a Chevrolet after all.

As a former District manager and buyer for Tannery West the 4LT leather is not cheap. It is hard but extremely durable with a good leather rating. This leather on the 4LT will not rip, fade, or pull apart as easy as other leathers.

It is however expensive. Not a great value. But, it does look great and does address many of the interior complaints the press had with the Vette.

[QUOTE=Texas08C6;1570401230]4LT pics

Very nice!
I wish the 4LT would have been available when I ordered my 2008 CRM in August of 2007!

A must for my next Vette!

Didn't they added more sound proofing too for the 3LZ/4LT cars? or does that come with the 2LZ/3LT option already?
