First, I'm talking primarily for the LR. Well, yes, sort of when you get to it for the Plaid - of course, you spent a whole heap of a lot more money over the LR so it gets incorporated into the price and it's buried unless you see a line item on the cost (I didn't see it on the Monroney sticker). I looked it up for mine - I guess it was a bargain as it was only $350 ($CDN) on a non-performance model for the CF upgrade. It's somewhere around $1300 roughly to buy the parts outright according to what I see, which is again a huge difference from the aftermarket for CF from someplace like TSportline that's selling it $2500 on the old S.Don’t know how you’re figuring that. On the refresh, only the Plaid gets carbon and it’s no cost option.
For those considering getting an earlier vehicle rather than later it's a question of whether it's worth it to get the wood trim and upgrading it later at their own cost. With no predictable timeline as to when CF will be delivered, it's a personal choice but understandable. Would you wait indefinitely for something that was expected to be delivered from the get-go, or bite the cost of changing it when it becomes available as parts? That's the buyer's decision.
