    I understand there are standard power seats and full power seats. Do the full power seats add a lumbar adjustment? Lumbar doesn't appear to be an included function on the standard power seats.

    If I buy a car without carbon driver's zone and add the carbon steering wheel, will the led's function properly?

    Many thanks.

    1) Full power adds lumbar adjustment, heat, and memory. I'm still annoyed that my salesman didn't point out these differences to me when I ordered the car.

    2) I'm nearly 100% sure the carbon steering wheel with LEDs can be retrofitted. Your dealer will know. It was available to be ordered without the rest of the cf in the driver's zone.

    Standard seats should have lumbar too, Sharks did. The full power has adjustable side bolsters upper and lower, lumbar. Full power has 3 position memory.
    The LED wheel will work without rest of carbon package, you can order it as stand alone. But, the programming/wiring may be an issue, I'm not sure. Bring money, I'd guess the wheel will be 4k + labor if it will work. Really nice to have. Look in TFT screen under car setup, if option for RPM in wheel is there, but blanked out, the circuit for tach may be in wiring, just not used unless wheel is there. If I get time, I'll ask techs about it, ask your dealer service guys if you know them.
    You'll love the car.

    Hey Gary. What he said. I forgot about heat. It's 55 days >100 here, I haven't used them much. :)
    The standard seats don't have lumbar? My Maranellos/Superamerica did. :(

    Hi Lee

    No lumbar in the standard seats.

    Probably makes sense. 400 for a electrochromic RV mirror, 1k for homelink, and 800 for iPod- what'd I expect, giveaways? :D
    iPhone says it is 70 in Chicago. 104 here. I'll stop gloating in winter, but I don't have to shovel sweat ;)
    Shark 2.0 does have a great AC system though.
