The main differences are the lowest portions of the brownstone are brown (lower door speaker grille/map pocket piece, and the brown color carpet). On the Kalahari you get black in these areas. On both the brownstone and Kalahari you get the same stitching contrast color, which is Mohave. (If you watch the interior design presentation @bash, I was the guy who asked about the C&D variations of the 3LT Kalahari vert. Ryan told me afterwards that C&D published the vert pics from a prototype vert that wasn't totally finished, which is why they got the upper door panels wrong. May C&D).
Thanks for the explanation but it now makes me want to see the differences first hand up close.

Sorry, I misunderstood your response. I thought you were responding that Brownstone did not cover more than Red or Gray.



Again, my apologies. See above.

This is a rendering that is supposedly Kalahari. Color is off, but it shows the color coverage.
We are ok. I apologize if I came off rude. My biggest error is short replies which are not as effective as longer explanations. Thanks for contributing so much to the Forum. Your post are always constructive and informative.

When I first saw Brownstone at the New York show I was completely blown away.my last three Corvettes have been cashmere interiors. I was looking for something different. Kalahari was to close to what I had been use to in my Vets. This Brownstone is just rich and luxurious. In fact I have the interior down but not the exterior color.. Funny isn't it?

Yep. I made sure my dealer added those two extra suede options with the brownstone. I wanted the interior to be COMPLETELY wrapped!
