100% agree. I WOULD LOVE to order this car radio delete. There is nothing OEM in my GTO with the exception of the head unit.

It does to me. It's stupid if true. Seating material is an individual choice, just like color, it makes NO SENSE to limit folks to one or the other when both seats are sitting there in the factory. Some of these guys should come down here and sit in a leather trimmed car in the summer, not a good feeling.
Oh well, shouldnt be too hard to find someone to swap w/.

Been driving leather trimmed cars in Texas for years and would never consider going back to cloth. But like you said, hopefully it will be an easy swap.

I think a few years ago Fbodfather said there were over 200,000 possible option combinations for Silverado alone. Those days are long over.

its across all manufacturers. more build combos adds significatnly to the cost. most parts are delivered "just in time". they arent stacked in a pile on the assembly line. they only have parts on hand they need based on orders in the system.

As long as we're in agreement that this represents a factual list, could you tell us if that means that things such as the leather color will also be limited? Would that mean a standard dark grey or something for all exterior color combinations? Just how restricted are even the options?

I guess at this point, I don't really consider leather to be that much of a luxury option anymore, I mean you can get it on virtually ANY car now. It would seem much more in line w/ buying a new sofa, do you want leather or cloth? I can see paying more for leather sure, but to make it mandatory on 2SS doesn't make any sense to me. Leather was optional on our SS, as it was on the 4th gen Camaro SS. I just think it sux to bundle something like uphostery in w/ these packages. The cloth and leather are both wired for power, so it shouldn't make a difference. As it is, there is no way to get cloth seats w/ the console gauges, crazy!

. Tell you what, you get a 1SS, and I'll trade my seats to you, no charge!
