Order Changed
Based on all of the great information, opinions, and experience shared in my Z51 thread I decided to change my order as of 9AM this morning.
I went from a Laguna Blue Z51 1LT no extras and base silver rims to a >>>
Base 1LT with FE2, Q7E and NPP.
I think this will be the better choice for me since I am a waxer and a right lane cruiser.
Sincerely appreciate all the constructive opinions. AND hopefully this vehicle is able to be built and delivered faster than a Z51.
Dave

Glad you could catch it in time......
Sounds like a very similar order to mine, except we are a 2LT, Laguna Blue , FE2; Q7E; CC3; NPP; J6F; ERI; VQK (splash guards).
what color interior did you order?

Jet Black. I considered red or silver but the 1LT package doesn't give you enough colored items to make it POP like I would have wanted.
Thanks man....and I appreciate the help you offered.

Pretty much how I would do it if I order another one except I'd go with silver wheels again to keep the cost down. Pretty easy to add factory nav later for ~$1000 if you decide you can't live without it. I did, but to be honest, in pinch situations I still break out my phone and use Google maps, so kind of a waste of money.

Gotta love that Laguna Blue, in the sun it really pops. Good choice on the other options. My dealer says he can't keep LB on the showroom floor.

I think you'll be very happy with the base suspension. If you decide you want a little less body roll in corners, you can add the Z51 sway bars easily and inexpensively.
The LB would be my first choice in color now that DSOM is no longer available.

They haven't updated the web site, but two dealers reported the colors were going away, with the last dates for ordering them last November.
