stainless inlay question
 
I ordered my car with the standard aluminum trim inserts, and have found a source for the stainless pieces if I want them.

Total cost for the 2 door and 1 dash inlays comes to $1240.

I'd be paying a $500 premium over having ordered the option, unless there's more to the package:

Are there any other parts in the inlay set (on the center console, for example)?

With SS inserts, the center console is painted piano black from the factory. Not sure what you are getting for $1200, but it seem WAY too expensive.

Isn't it 4 door inlays and 1 dash? (2 front, 2 rear)

I haven't seen the car yet.....But you are right, I bet, and the rear doors have trim as well. Add another $800......

Which means fuggedaboutit

Hey, I've got stainless steel as a package in my car, it is a 750$ option that has 5pieces total+the piano black console wrap...1200$ is just absurd, with my manners and knowledge of the market I would tell them straight to shove that...we all know where:) what a rip off!

HUGE ripoff! Your supposed to save money when you buy aftermarket (supercharger badges) not spend more.

I'm pissed, too. The cost of the Aluminum replacement parts are on average 1/3rd that of the stainless. With the SS upcharge of $750 the Al should be worth $300 as OEM. Therefore the SS package should cost $1050. I'd pay that without thinking because I'm willing to eat the $250. But.......

Oh well. If anyone doesn't like their SS, I'll give you my aluminum pieces and $1000 in trade :D
