I just looked at Kerbecks list that has been posted and out of about 3-400 orders, not one of the LBR orders has a TPW, even ones near the early part of Kerbeck's list. If Kerbeck's orders are a good representation, it looks as though none of the C8s built or scheduled through at least early March has been LBR. Do any of you with LBR orders have a car built or a TPW?

My convertible in LBR had a 4/6 date before the dates were pulled.

Before the TPWs went away my LBR was scheduled for wk of 3/30. As of last Monday I haven't been told anything different so I'm hoping it is still the same time frame or earlier.

Mine was at 3/30 a long time ago. Was changed to 3/2. I did not complain .

LBR here, #98 with Kerbeck. Originally had a TPW of 3/16 before they disappeared! I am at 3300 now. I am sure the TPW will stay the same or even get bumped up. Don’t worry about it, we are all right around the corner. TPW should be released next week, they are moving through them. As far as the shipping deal, I am starting to feel the frustrations among the forum members.

my favorite color but agree on that. Too much. Two tone seats with black and other black accents. Or a nice cream/tan combo.

At Carlisle I asked the interior designer why Morello didn't have black accents/contrast as in two-tone. He said it came down to all the possible color combinations -- at some point, it just becomes too much, I guess from a process/supply point of view. In any case, I'm going LBR, HCT with carbon flash roof/nacelles, and two-tone grey/black.

Actually the suede is the reason I did not look at natural dipped red. Unfortunately unlike the tan version you don't have a choice.

To me suede red looks pinkish.

hard to tell what it looks like from pics because all the pics look different , I would have went with the natural dipped but it looks like the dash has to much glare onto the windshield.
