Congrats and have fun with your new baby. I am a relatively new owner of a 2012 and I must be missing something because I find the OEM seats are just fine for me and my use. I don't need to invest money in aftermarket seats. But, those that do sure love them.

Getting lower trim level and skipping the seats and steering wheel would get you a Z06 but each to their own
After owning a 3LZ Z06, I would invest in a dashboard cover if you intend to leave your car out in a sun, that leather GM used on the dash and door panels did not gain my confidence. Congrats on the car nevertheless

Go big or go home - and it sounds like you're going big! I think you'll LOVE your new GS.
The vast majority of these cars never have problems, just keep the drivetrain stock, enjoy the car and sleep well at night knowing the warranty will cover just about anything you're likely to run across.

..........the leather on the a-pillars in my vert would bubble up when left out in the sun during the day..........very poor quality, but then again, the car is gone now so I don't have to look at it seperating any longer...........
Congrats.............

"Pulled the trigger"
Congratulations on your new car and the improvements you're making. Personally, I'd look forward to driving and enjoying the car and not so much for a harmonic balancer problem.
As an aside I expect the expression "pulled the trigger" will soon be forbidden by the self-proclaimed 'politically correct.'

So, when I saw that Caravaggio was offering $1200 off for the carbon fiber seats I decided to order my car...AND the seats too. It's a want not a need...but then again so is the car. Need is a Civic want is a Corvette.
Let the wants begin!
Best,
Greg

In lieu of "Pulled the trigger", I guess I could have said, "I blithely leaped from my personal fiscal cliff"
Again thanks,

In regards to the warranty, Exactly, three years gives me plenty of time to iron out any issues but I don't expect any. I find worrying creates far more problems than it ever solves. And I do not have any engine mods on my list.
Thanks!

The leather quality is not the best. Aston Martin is the best. But with a little care I'm certain the dash will hold up just fine, plus I really like the contrast stitching on it so for me it wasn't really a choice. I was always going to get a 4LT.
