Nice color combination. I got the charcoal interior with red stitching, jet headliner, piano black trim to match the center stack, and the standard seats. I did test drive an XKR with the performance seats and they were very comfortable, but I had to have the cooled seats. I also got red brake calipers with red wheel inserts--looks very sharp with the open 5-spoke Takoba wheels.

That is also a beautiful color.....
