Default 2017 GS configuration

The following is how I configured my 2017 C7 Grand Sport.

Exterior Color: Admiral Blue
Interior Color: Adrenaline Red
2LT
Z15 Heritage Package: Red Hash Marks & White Stripe
J6F Red Brake Calipers
FAY Carbon Fiber Dash
CFZ Carbon Flash Carbon Fiber Ground Effects
Q8X Black Wheels

Optional Items:
1L* TU7 Two Tone Seats with Suede Inserts
RUR Black Satin with Red Stripe Wheels.


Guys let me know if you recommend anything else.
I wanted to competition seats, but the dealer said they are very uncomfortable for daily driving, but I am reading mixed reviews on the forum.

If the employee discounts will be applied, please let me know what percentage off sticker I can expect for this model.




UPDATE: 6/7/16
I have changed almost everything in my cofiguration:

1YW07 Grand Sport Coupe M7
GKZ Exterior: Torch Red
703 Interior: Adrenaline Red
2LT Equipment Package
EYT Carbon Flash Exterior Badge
J6F Red Brake Calipers
CFZ Carbon Fiber Ground Effects Painted Carbon Flash
Q8X Black Wheels
FAY Carbon Fiber Interior Trim
TTV Carbon Flash Painted Spoiler & Outside Mirrors
AE4 Competition Seats

Congrats on your order! Now, the waiting game.
Serious question, but, are the hash marks mandatory or can you option them off? Thanks and good luck!

Personally, the standard seats are very comfortable, and provide great support for spirited driving.

For a serious track car, you'll want to go to a full race seat anyway... I'd pass on the comp seats.

Love the GS... you will be very happy with the car

For me personally, the Competition Sport seats are the most comfortable seats I have ever had.

I'm slender and they fit me perfectly. Bigger guys could have issues I suppose.

Love it. But why not go all in and get 3LT?

That'll look good. Much like a Collector's Edition with the heinous blue switched to red. Keep in mind how dark the WGGM is. The carbon flash stripe will almost totally blend in. No contrast at all. At Bash I was never able to see most of the hash colors on the WGGM. Just the neon yellow/green and the CE blue. Not sure how bright the red hashes are...

So you think the shark gray center stripe would be a little better?

Well it's just my opinion but it seems like if you are paying for a stripe you'd want to be able to see it. I would probably not pay the price for the stripe or get a color with some contrast.

Decided to go a different direction, this is my current setup.

1YW07 Grand Sport Coupe M7
GKZ Exterior: Torch Red
703 Interior: Adrenaline Red
2LT Equipment Package
EYT Carbon Flash Exterior Badge
J6F Red Brake Calipers
CFZ Carbon Fiber Ground Effects Painted Carbon Flash
Q8X Black Wheels
FAY Carbon Fiber Interior Trim
TTV Carbon Flash Painted Spoiler & Outside Mirrors
AE4 Competition Seats

Does anyone know if there is a clear wrap option? I believe there was something like this for the 2015 models, but I dont see anything for 2017.
