Thanks everyone. 
For those asking about the interior spec, I posted the build sheet a few posts above this one.
For those asking about the spacer setup, a lot of the info is posted here: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...post1606760366
But to make it easy for those on this thread, this is what I have:
Rear: 20mm Paragon adaptor style spacers (part of their C8 package)
Front: 10mm (if I had to do it again I would choose 8mm) 'slide in' hub-centric spacers from https://www.motorsport-tech.com/index.html with extended lug nuts. They refer to the spacer style as 'design 2.'
The 20mm Paragon spacers are a bit of a wait and you can only buy them in sets of four. Folks are teaming up on the above spacer thread to split the cost. Alternatively you could get a set of two 20mm from motorsport-tech but in 'design 3' ... I haven't tested those but I can't imagine they would be any different than the Paragon ones.
Hope that helps.

GREAT BUILD!!
As khartford said: Sinister.
Until you open the door and then it is Elegant.
A terrific Contrast.
The Carbon2 option keeps most of the Natural color below the window line.
This is making me rethink my Color Combo.

Though nothing official, as best as I and all the Posters from those threads could determine (no exception had been identified):
- Carbon Fiber level 2 option
- Red or Natural Interior (not Dipped of Course)
It does make sense aesthetically: Level2 eliminates some of the red/natural.
It does make sense commercially: You want a colored door panel? That will be $5000.

Love it! I've got the same color combo ordered (TPW next week) with yellow belts and calipers, and the standard wheel color. I don't know why Chevy leaves that panel by the passengers left knee in black when you order a natural interior. I think it should flow around with the door panel to glove box to that panel all in natural. I'll be ordering that piece so we'll see how it looks.

This morning a photographer friend of mine took some decent pics of the car after PPF an 15% tint ... these are not them.
This is just me taking a few shots with the ol' iPhone whilst I was there. I'll post the ones he took when I get 'em.

So after an eventful delivery the 3LZ HTC is finally home, washed, clayed, and paint corrected waiting to be dropped off for PPF and tint in a couple of days. Looking forward to the tint most to complete the sinister look. I purposefully kept everything black on the outside without CF, with black wheels and calipers and the only color being a hint of red in the emblems and center caps. I did contrast the interior with tan comp seats, black pack, and lever 2 CF. I went back and forth on doing dipped but I'm happy that I went this way instead in order to bring the outside color in. It came out better than I ever hoped. The car has a lift and is dropped on Cicio collars and has 20mm spacers in the rear and 10mm spacers at the front.
Here's a few pics with the top up after the initial detail ... I will bore everyone with more pics and maybe a video as time passes.
Looks great! Like the name!
Spoiler & side skirts all oem?
