Good luck and keep us posted!
IRR is definetly a good possibility. The only catch is the pano roof. I'm not sure I like it on IRR.

IRR has a lot of contrast with the pano roof. I thought it looked pretty good on the website

I'm still considering it.

Default Irr

My dealer has an IRR V6, with the pano roof, and it sold me to go that route. I think the pano black roof is a great contrast with the paint, and really blends the back/trunk well with the rest of the car. Unfortunately, I won't get mine til October, and I don't have any pictures of that car.

I'm seriously considering the IRR pano roof combo.

Made my final change to my order today. After seeing Stratus and Lunar, I decided to go with Lunar. Some mentioned they thought it had a blue tint to it. After some online research with pics and VINs my GM and I determined the color that has the blue tint is Satellite Gray. The blue tone in the paint is most likely why they pulled Satellite Gray out of the paint options.

I did. The Stratus is beautiful, but too dark. My last 2 Jags have been black and I wanted something different.

Awesome....really look forward to seeing the pics.
That lighter Lunar Grey is similar to the classic Aston Martin silver, and the coupe will look fantastic with that.

What wheels did you go with?

Thx! I believe the coupe will look very nice in Lunar. I think it will show off the beautiful lines of the car.

I followed your advice and stayed with the 20".

Also, the darker colors especially with the black pack look more "bad boy racer" and since I'm a female I thought it would be a better fit.

It makes me feel better to hear that. I wanted to get the color right. I didn't want to have any regrets in my choice.
I spent hours last weekend googling the colors and researching info pertaining to automotive color.

I've got a Lunar Gray XK (20" Kalimnos wheels), and it pops when it is in the sun. When I went to see it at the dealer I had just been told that it was gray over the phone. Then when I drove up to see it I thought it was the wrong car because it was toward the silver side since it was sitting in the sunlight. I've had a lot of different cars - all different colors, but this is one of my favorites. I think you will love the color.

Your OCD is truly impressive!
But yeah. I'm pretty OCD too
