Suede question...
Looking to get the Competition seats with the suede/microfiber in the middle of the seats but not on the steering wheel and a-pillars, I've seen cars like this but my dealer is telling me it is not available to order this way and the only way to have the suede in the seats is to get the whole package including the steering wheels, a-pillars, etc... any help would be much appriciated

If worse comes to worse, if you can't order without, I'll gladly swap you the standard a-pillars for the suede ones :-) because they told me I couldn't order them separate of the 3LZ even though it's shown as an option.

I'm wanting the suede - I'm getting the 2LZ instead but thought I was going to be able to order the suede as an add-on, but the order system wouldn't let the dealer enter it. The big glitch will be that I have the convertible, so the upper I think is different than the coupe? Do the visors come in suede too? I can't remember?

Sueded A-pillars are a different option altogether. They come with the 3LZ package and are entirely unrelated to the seat options.

AE4 is Competition Seats. When you choose the color -- let's say black -- you enter either 192, 194, or 196 (depending on whether it is 1LZ, 2LZ, or 3LZ) into Workbench to get suede inserts. Entering 191, 193, or 195 gets you leather inserts. See page 89 of the Order Guide. Once you choose the suede inserts the AE4 price rises from $1995 to $2495 and option N26 (suede steering wheel and shifter) is automatically included.
So just specify AE4 and tell the dealer what color you want - gray, black, or Kalahari.
IWE is not separately orderable so forget it. It is included in the 3LZ trim package at no extra charge. It does not cost $995, that is leftover from 2014 Stingray pricing.

Dude, get the Order Guide. What you posted here is not an order form. It is an old, out-of-date, incorrect, erroneous price list. There is no separate option to order 1L* or IWE.

If all you want is AE4 with sueded inserts, you merely need to pick the color code appropriate to the trim level. Like I said, see the chart on page 89 of the guide and it will be clear.

Suede on the seats is not part of the trim level, it is a separate option. However, at the 1LZ trim level the only suede color choice is black. At the 2LZ and 3LZ levels the suede color choices are dark gray, kalahari, and black. (There is no suede seat option in red or blue, as GM was unable to get suede to match those colors.)

If you do not want the suede around the tops of your car, order the 2LZ and the Competition Seats with the suede inserts.

This adds $2,495 to the price of your car.
I may have a Microfiber steering wheel up for trade for a leather wheel when I get the car!
