as is the interior and monoposto.

piano trim is to be an option later. has rarely been seen on cars to date. and has been well known to be an upcoming option. if std trim is not CF then what is?

i can see how the engine LEDs and CF trim (expensive stuff) jacked up the base price a fair bit.

no point in having engine LEDs if the engine will be surrounded by plain old plastic, eh?

...see here http://forums.audiworld.com/r8/msgs/4223.phtml I could see it std in europe maybe, but there is no guarantee it will be on the std on the US spec production car. i do hope it is though. it's not listed as an option on the price sheet so cross your fingers...
