The quilted suede roof liner comes with all 3LTs in 2017, not with 2LT and 1LT. Note that the liner should be available as a separate part that you can peel off (peel your current liner off that is) and put the new one on your roof. I don't know the part number.
If you ordered a car with red stitching or red seats, I believe that also gives you red stitching on the liner.
However, you won't get yellow stitching on the roof. My yellow 3LT GS with yellow-stitching as an option only gave me dark grey stitching on the roof liner.

Hi......
I am getting close to ordering a 2017 GS, 3LT. I had believed that at the bottom of the steering wheel would be a piece of carbon fiber. My sales guy says no, that this only comes on the "collectors" version. I know I have seen many youtube vids and photos with this piece on GS's that are not the "collectors" model.
Any ideas on how others get this piece included in their build??
Thanks.....

I believe it is only available on the collector's edition as noted by the dealer, I've only seen VYW there. You could call one of the larger dealer vendors and ask them (and maybe even order through them, you may get a better deal). But I'm pretty sure he's right.
People have added ones after, I've seen some pics in the forum.

VYW code: Premium carpeted floor mats with Grand Sport logo, LPO, interior brushed aluminum hash marks and seat and steering wheel emblems

There's no cost alongside the code, so this leads me to believe that if VYW gives you this feature, it might be bundled with something else I ordered. If I was to guess, that would be the FAY option, which is the carbon fiber interior trim priced at $995. I can contact someone directly tomorrow to confirm and give you a definitive answer then. This is definitely an Easter Egg because you never "see" the change on the site's build configuration page unless you go directly to the Collector's Edition.

I'll chime in with this since you mentioned the ordering process. As you know from the Collector's Thread, I did make a recent order a couple of weeks ago. Even though it's a 2LT, it does have the VYW option listed on my form which I'm looking at as we speak.

If you're on the website's official Corvette Build config page, ordering the Carbon Fiber interior trim won't show the change regardless of 1LT-3LT trim. If the steering wheel piece comes with a subsequent option but isn't shown, that would come off as very confusing for the potential buyer. And it's not the first error I've seen on the site: Ordering a Visible Carbon Fiber Ground Effects package didn't show the upgraded spoiler on the preview image only for the Grand Sport configuration for whatever reason. They fixed it, but for a time, they still showed the standard spoiler.
Since I placed an order, alongside the GM-Workbench Order Receipt that was given to me, I'll inquire about it tomorrow morning/afternoon.

Gator113 - Here's the answer I received:
"The steering wheel with the carbon is the Alcantara covered wheel. It can be had with the microfiber inserts on the comp or standard seats."
So you can get this option by ordering the following from the website's Competition/Regular seats Color section:
If you need to order from the dealer directly, they'll need actual codes versus what's on the website. That will come in the form of the 2017 Order Guide. You can match the option you want with the code depending on model/trim/coupe or convertible.
If you really want to get developer saavy, you can open your browser debugger (F12) and inspect either their modals or options directly on the site. They prepend most of their element classes with the order code. But that's the front end developer in me talking

You can thank Al@MatickChevy for that one (from George Matick Chevy in Michigan). He's pretty informative and straight forward, but I'm glad I was able to help. Not sure why your dealer would give you such information other than...I "think" there's an exclusive emblem in addition to the insert on the Collector's Edition wheel. You'd have to ask some of the CE owners or go to the CE thread on that one. Could've been a misunderstanding when consulting with the dealer. Now if you explicitly told him what you wanted, and he still didn't get it...well...I'd ask him more questions to test the validity of the person you're dealing with.
Oh, and remember when I told you how the website has some inconsistent visual effects based on the ordered options? Well, the Carbon Flash GS stripe is now gray vs black (making it MUCH harder to see when ordering Watkins Glen Gray), and they have the WRONG hash colors on the GS Collector's Edition. I have no idea why this changed. Tech monkeys must be on vacation playing Nintendo Switch :/

Larger mirrors, No! Headlight washers, definitely NO! Enough with the regulations.

Painted hood vent
I was looking at the various GS posts and saw you had ordered a painted hood vent. I didn't order the stripes when I ordered my GS so now I am getting them installed, but have not done anything about the hood vent. If I can ask, where did you order the hood vent from? Thanks
