New member in the Chicago area looking to order soon...

Hey Guys!

Will be looking to place an order soon for an r8 v10 coupe w/ ibis white exterior and red leather interior. I was flirting a little with the lava and daytona gray, but at the end decided to stay with whats worked for me as my previous two cars (gtr and gt3) were both white.

So far my build looks like this:
5.2 v10
Ibis white
Red leather
r-tronic
carbon side blade
carbon mirrors
19" forged 10 spoke wheels
white guages
perforated leather steering wheel

Any must haves I am missing? Also, can I expect any discount from MSRP when ordering? Thanks for any input and looking forwards to being a part of r8talk!

I'm a big proponent of Daytona Grey, but I wouldn't ever do red leather with it, so Ibis or Phantom Black are your best bests, in my opinion. Are you doing CF interior at all? I just wanted to make sure you weren't overlooking that option. I personally don't like the CF interior, and would go for Piano Black inlays instead, but something to consider. I'm also assuming the V10 has the enhanced leather/convenience packages already included? If not, those are a must. And perhaps, if you're into it, the alcantara headliner. Even though I am not an alcantara fan at all, I have sat in a few coupes that have had it, and it does look rather classy (but definitely not a deal breaker). Lastly, does the V10 have an option for a CF diffuser? Because that would look super sharp with the CF blades and mirrors. Welcome!

White/red, one of my favorite combos! Def do enhanced leather package. You can do carbon exterior package (front spoiler, rear diffuser). I'd highly recommend the black alcantara headliner. If you're going carbon, do the interior inlays as well.

Hope to see you at some chicagoland events when you get the beast!
