I think that's either
(a) the supposed "RAM" air intake (or)
(b) the place where the Laser cruise control "emitter" would be put in.

I don't know about IP - but I echo what you said .... its not like IP is an exotic color that's only done by order (like BMW's "priority one" options !)
I am sure most dealers would have at least one of that color when the first allocations come in sometime in November.

Or did you cover all the car windows and windshield somehow?

-- If I had put in an order today, they would've probably turned off the lights 
It was actually quite dark when I went today - overcast and rainy - so it wasn't all that hard !
(Car was parked inside and it was not super brightly lit anyways !!)

The guages look really awesome ..... backlit and all ....
The lighting is quite subtle - not garrish.
Also they have ambient lighting from the ceiling (like the 5 series) - that's whitish LED light - quite cool too.
Plus the analog clock comes to life with the backlight -- IMO, its kinda iffy without it

BTW, 2 questions:
1. Does the analog clock have a backlight?
2. Can the brightness of the center console be adjusted?

2. Not sure - but I am quite certain it is linked to the gauge lighting and can be adjusted.
