Here is what I ordered:
Blue Ray Paint, 6 speed, and every option including Nav, indoor and outdoor car covers, excluding the chrome gas cap. I did opt for the roof as I will likely spend more time without a helmet then with. I'm 5' 10" so I should be good.
Does anyone have a picture of the rear trunk stripe and optional gas cap for me to check out?

I dealt with three dealers...I placed an order with Dealer #1, who flat-out lied about having an allocation...when I found this out six weeks later, I canceled my order. Dealer #2 did indeed have an allocation, but seemed shady for a number of reasons...I should've gone with my gut right there and walked out immediately, but instead I placed an order with them. But I hated the idea that they were getting my business, so I started looking around for other dealers...I found one who could get my car off a lot that had just about everything I wanted. So I canceled with Dealer #2 and ordered my Z through Dealer #3.
Dealer #3 wasn't much better...when I asked them if it would be possible to swap the black rims for brights, the salesman told me that the alignment would have to be adjusted to accommodate the bright forged, so no, they couldn't...which was a flat-out lie, which I later called him out on (he claimed we had a "miscommunication"). Fine if you can't swap the rims, but don't LIE about it!
So sadly, the three GM dealers I dealt with to buy my Z were all pretty scummy in their own ways. The GM dealer I bought my HHR SS from back in '09 couldn't have been better, so it's not like ALL GM dealers suck. But good for you for harping on them and making them confirm that they do indeed have an allocation to you...more than one ZL1 buyer has been misled about that.
