You chose wisely!

There is nothing like the thrill of the ride, a Roadster will give you.

Its black. That was the only thing I gave up with my Stingray, it had kalahari interior and I loved it.
I'm just gonna add a couple of more carbon interior touches and it'll be fine.

I had the same issue when I got my GS. Loved the black interior (after 26 years with a red one). There are a few ways to bring almost any color into the car. Seat skins by Sandyeggo.com, center arm rest by Redlinegoods.com. Beautiful car. LBR, my second favorite color. Enjoy it!
