Nice! Love the pano roof with white, though I've only seen pictures.

Congrats! Mine arrives in June also!
I also think the pano roof is stunning on White. I didn't care for the look of it in the configurator with Stratus Grey, so I didn't order it.
I find I rarely use my sunroof on other vehicles in TX in due to the heat and glare on the dash, so I HOPE I don't miss it on the Coupe...

I saw on the configurator that the diamond turned Gyrodyne wheels are listed as black; however, all the pictures that I have seen of the prototypes they are dark grey. Is there a choice of dark grey or black on the real order?

Am thinking about a Stratus Grey R myself. What options did you go for? Looking forward to pics when you get it.

I got Stratus Grey, Black w/ Ivory Stitching Interior, Blade Wheels, and Vision Pack. What have you been tossing around?

Option 1:

Stratus Grey R,

Vision Pack, mainly for blind spot since the car I sat in seems to have limited right side and rear vision. I drove the F Type Vert and it didn't seem to give warning pulling up to curbs.

Diamond Turned Gyrodyne wheels if the primary color is the dark grey in the photos, for contrast. I saw the Blade wheels on a Stratus Grey Vert and there wasn't much contrast. They might look better on the coupe.

Jet with red stitch to match red calipers. I personally don't care for the Red Duotone on the Status Grey.

Total Cost: $102,100


Option 2:

Stratus Grey R

Vision Pack

Storm Wheels with Yellow Carbon Ceramic Calipers. Not sure they are worth $11,000.

Jet and Carmel Duotone to compliment yellow calipers.

Total Cost $113,100.


Option 3:

Stratus Grey R

Vision Pack

Jet with Red Stitching

Aftermarket HRE P101 wheels ($7000) over stock Red Calipers in Brushed Titanium. Have window surrounds, side fender vents, and front grill surround painted in matching titanium ($1000). I'm not a big fan of chrome. Sell the stock Gryrodynes for $1000?

Total Cost: $108,100.

Pics of the HRE P101 in Titanium attached. Any other ideas out there?
