4LT has a leather dash; 3LT doesn't.

Avoid 4lt. Dash cover issues.

Leather wrapped and stitched dashboard, upper door panels, arm rest pads on doors, door pulls, and padded/stitched center console lid. It also has a unique design for the center console trim.

The 3LZ/4LT colors can be linen/black, sienna/black, dark titanium/black, or all black.

I have a 3LZ Z06 and it is a very nice upgrade over the stock interior. Looks far better. Yes, there is an issue where the dash can start coming apart from the weak adhesive, but an upholstery shop can fix it.

4LT also had crossed-flag embroidery on headrests, at least for model year 2008.

I love my 08 with the 4LT and the dash is still perfect.

My 2012 3LT has this also. But it was an additional $300 option.

I have a 4LT centennial and its black with red stitching.

No issues on my dash either. The interior looks and feels a LOT nicer. The little pad on the door for your armrest is worth it by itself, let alone how much nicer the rest of the interior looks.

If you dont have seat heaters, youd ot have a 3lt. You probably have a 1lt.

Or perhaps a 2LT, if it has HUD and NAV.

Agreed. The leather wrapped door pulls are worth it alone for me. My previous C6 was a 3LT and those plastic door pulls had so many scratches on them. It looked awful. Hated it. Not an issue with the leather ones.

Mine has 4LT and I'm wondering about the dash bubbles I keep reading about.

I haven't seen any on mine, what do they look like?

You know when a pizza gets a bubble in the crust? Like that.

I love my '12 4LT GS. I put a dash carpet on it because I'd heard about the leather delaminating. Mine still looks like new. Keep in mind that's because the sun bakes it when it's left outside. I keep mine inside and put a shade in the windshield when I have to leave it out. People talk about their car has never been rained on. The sun has destroyed many more cars than the rain ever has.
