Default XFR Black Pack

So, looks like I'll be ordering a new 2013 XFR this week and I'm having trouble deciding on one of the options. Should I get the Black Pack or not?
Still deciding on the car colour but it will most likely be Lunar Grey and I would be getting the red calipers no matter what.
I'm not a big fan of the standard 20" Nevis wheels due to the Supercharged lettering around the centre but just not sure if I want to go with the Dark Grey Draco wheels. Anyone regret the grey wheels after getting them? Any opinions?

Thanks.

I have never been fan of the pre-12 black pack XFRs.

Grey exterior with grey wheels may look slightly mundane.
What about the speed pack?

I think the grey with grey draco wheels looks good. Red brakes should offset the look.
There is a picture on here somewhere but it may be the lighter grey.

Above is an image of a pre-2012 grey with grey draco. I think this combo will look even better on a 2013 XFR with hood louvers, headlight changes and black pack grille. The red interior is also a nice combination with grey. You have to like the look though as it is not a typical look. Porsche uses this combo silver with red interior with titanium look wheels. Nice to be getting a new XFR. Enjoy the shopping!

Thanks jaguny, that'a the interior I was considering so the pictures really help. Yes the red and black interior is not a typical one but my existing S5 has a red interior and I do like it. It would be either this or the ivory...hmmmm....

Haven't seen grey with ivory. XFR has the sports seats, not sure if ivory goes best with the sport look. Have you seen the sports seats in ivory?

I have a 2010 lunar gray XFR with red interior. People love it, and the car gets sick attention....for what it's worth the Nevis rims look better and more unique than the Dracos. Just sayin'.

I agree. I'm not a Draco fan. I have the Spice (red/orange) interior in mine and it's gorgeous. I love it. It really stands out and gets a lot of looks.

To the original poster: It's your car so get what you want.

What combo did you end up ordering?
I just picked up my Ultimate Black/Black Pack/Draco rims/Red interior last week from Budds in Oakville. Lovin' it.

Saw that one on the Budds lot, very nice.
Decided on going with Stratus Grey, with ivory interior, standard Nevis rims. The wait has begun....

Fantastic choice! I actually prefer those Nevus rims over mine - the absence if an outer lip gives them a larger appearance. And the Ivory interior is top shelf. My 3 kids would've made a mess of that colour unfortunately. How long is the wait?

Third child just turned 18 so no worries for me about the "kids" making a mess of the ivory interior. Car was ordered to be ready when my existing lease ends mid July, they said it should be in a few weeks early. Gives me time to figure out what mods to do once I get it.
