Not dumping on you but that question really can't be objectively answered by others.

It's your car, anyone who says what's missing is giving you their opinion.

You have a very nice car, do whatever pleases you with it. Don

NPP dual mode exhaust.
You're going to want it, Especially with an M7.

Absolutely agree but someone may look at the option combinations and think of something I didn't consider that might not work well together or might work better.......I know I'll get some, "I hate black wheels, you should get chrome....." stuff but I can ignore those kinds of opinions.

Remember options can drive up the price considerably with no return when trade in time comes. Example: CFV, Q8X, RC8, ER1, J6A, EYK, FAY, C2Z, DTW, TVV. Add the total dollar amount, surprising how much these items cost. Happy Motoring!

Since you're ordering all the carbon fiber, how about carbon fiber wheel center caps? And, exposed carbon fiber front splitter and side skirts?

Good catch! That's why I did this. I would have had chrome badges.

Is that covered with the carbon fiber ground effects package?

I missed the GS part, my error. I believe it is standard, but check to be sure, you really want NPP.

Sorry, my bad, for missing that you did list the exposed carbon fiber ground effects package. I don't think the Carbon fiber wheel center caps are included in that package, but I could be wrong.

In addition to looking for suggestions on the forum I would look at as many photos as you can find of both the interior and exterior of various models which may suggest either a change or addition of other options.

If you haven't already done so then spend some time with the online reference guide which is more detailed than the build and general model information presented on the Chevrolet site. It also contains up to date changes/restrictions for options: http://eogld.cloud.gm.com/NASApp/dom...D=20103&type=0

They aren't included but are dealer installed (LPO) and I'm doing museum delivery....but can add aftermarket. Good call!

Just for you aero...........

Looks like the car will be a beauty. Can't think of anything else that would make it better. I'm looking forward to seeing pics.

Thought hard on that one....decided since I won't track it and likely will have some long distance touring it made more sense to skip....but yes they were on my original list.
