Default Customizing a factory order

For those who have done so in the past, what is the process for additional customization in a factory order? To what degree does Chevy allow you to personalize beyond a standard build and what's the approval process? I see nothing online about custom orders nor do I see Corvettes in custom interior/exterior configs which makes me question if they have an SOP on it.

I want to order my car with the OEM gloss carbon dash from the Jet Black Suede Design package among a few other tweaks to the interior...for now.

Since it's going to be asked...yes, I'm aware I can buy this or the aftermarket alternatives and have it installed after the fact. Not interested.

Thanks

There is no additional customizing an order. You can only order what chevy offers as a package plus some stand alone options. Go to http://www.chevrolet.com/ and drill down through the menues to build your own. Bowling Green isn't going the build anything which can not be configured on the web site.

Boiler 81 is exactly correct. Out of curiosity, what additional customization are you looking for?

Alright then, that's unfortunate. Other manufacturers offer it so I was hoping it was more common.

In addition to the dash, I'd spec the center console and door card covered in leather, color-matched visors, and exterior paint in Bianco Avus.
