You seem to have a good sense of what you want and like .. go with your gut. My only advice would be to visit all the Corvette forums and look at every picture you can find. Do google image searches and look at all those pictures too. When I was planning my car I downloaded hundreds of pictures, then ran thru them using the Windows photo viewer, paying attention to which pictures I lingered on .. the ones that were most interesting, or looked the best to me .. It's difficult because it's so hard to find a picture of a Corvette that looks bad .. they all look good. You can't go too wrong. But find the pictures that you linger on ..

Thanks for taking the time to post these photos. Based upon comments here I went back to compare the 2LT z51 vs 3LT z51. I compared the trim packages side by side on Chevrolet.com and priced both out equipped identically (and as I would order including the navigation up-charge on the 2LT). The price difference is $3k which as best I can tell buys me the added red dash highlights. On second thought, I like the red dash highlights, but I wouldn't pay $3k to buy them.

Congratulations! It sounds like you're pretty set on the combo and options you've chosen. I'm sure you'll love the car. It does need red calipers to balance out the color combo. I hope to order a 2015 next year.

Absolutely correct. My only point in the earlier post was that I think with Adrenaline Red most buyers will choose between 2LT and 3LT based on the appearance and distribution of color and not on the type of leather; that's only my opinion. I really like the Napa leather but don't like the red on the dash; as such, I wouldn't order a 3LT in Adrenaline Red.

Me personally, simple simple simple.
Arctic White
1LT
Z51 Package
Adrenaline Red Seats
Black Wheels
Performance Exhaust
In terms of other options...
I really like modding my cars so I'd get my own driver side racing seat that I prefer with a harnesss bar and harness and not the Competition seats. Leave the passenger side bucket alone for mercy of a potential passenger.
Get a custom carbon fiber dash setup. I shake my head at the fact that you can't get the carbon trim with the 1LT.
