As for the headliner, what did you pay to wrap your headliner and all in suede?
I too am wondering what the headliner wrapping costs...

That could be why it is $2K more...
That's a very good catch. At the very least, the F Sport interior pictured has an AWD driver's side floor mat, so I bet you're right.

I too am having a similar dilemma...in Canada, I can get the regular with all tech fully loaded which is the equivalent to the Lux vs the F-Sport.
Handling is just sharper on the F-Sport due to the suspension right? Both Lux and F-Sport have adaptive suspension just tuned differently correct?

How much is involved with the F Sport conversion when it comes to the exterior? Other than the rims, is it just the front grille?
Would I need to go to a custom shop to change the headliner?

'14 Lux owner here. I've always had the opinion that the Luxury gave you more for your money. It give 98% of what the F-Sport provides and then more. If styling drives your choice, then maybe that would change my recommendation. But the Sport+ mode is only slightly less aggressive then the same on F-Sport. Same with steering. I believe the F-Sport has the definite edge in braking. With the luxury, the adaptive headlights(which I love), 18 way seats, rear auto screen, rear console controls, passenger side memory seat, fog lights, etc. All gives the edge to the Lux in my opinion. Add a savings of $2K and HUD, lights out on the choice.
