I think the WP is worth it. The intake cover and scoops look nicer in cf, and the racetex dash is totally unique to the GT4 RS and Spyder RS.
At least for the ‘22-‘23 you couldn’t get mag wheels without WP. The mag wheels can be bought separately for not much more than the option price, and then you’d have two sets.

As someone who may be (hopefully) deciding on spec in the not too distant future…is there anyone who ordered WP that regrets it? Money well spent? Especially as I may opt for fully painted hood (SRS).
How about those who didn’t that wish they did?
The prospect of ADM is making me hedge on ordering a high spec car. Not really a matter of affording it, but whether the car is “worth” that much.
Same question for mags. The feeling that I should build “the lightest possible” car is not insignificant.

I built mine as a lightweight spec also:
-Weissach pack
-standard lightweight headlights
-no FAL
-XM antenna delete
-no chrono
-manual interior mirror
-no rain-sensing wipers
-no Bose
-no smoker’s kit
-no auto dimming exterior mirrors
-no illuminated door sills
-no interior lighting package
-PCCB
-Mag wheels
the only weight-adding feature I have is the fire extinguisher and that’s easily removable.

Specced Weissach and would do it again in a heartbeat. Makes the car much more special looking and purposeful.

Your fail is my win. Weissach unlocked PTS and mag wheels, both of which I have.

WP, mag wheels, PCCB all great options, but everything else you listed there (except no FAL) just seems pointless to save what, 30lbs or thereabouts? If you plan to keep the car forever, then fair play, but if not, I think you'll get punished in resale value for it. Nonetheless, enjoy in good health, I'm sure you won't miss those options when you're driving it.
Modern cars have gotten so choc full of features these days that we’ve really lost what it means to have a true stripper car. The GT4RS has Carplay, nav, PDK, automatic climate control, cruise control, power windows, HID headlights, and electronically adjustable suspension and exhaust - all standard. There is literally nothing more it needs comfort-wise.
The only modern car that comes close to truly spartan is a Caterham. In that car, even a windshield is optional. I’d know since I specced one.

LOL
I think I would get the WP mainly for the interior, it really finishes it is off without the need to tick any other boxes and the racetex dash looks very cool. I don't disagree that it is just a trim kit though, like the GTS package.

I took my first ride in a GT4RS this weekend. The sound was spectacular! As was everything else.
It was a PTS car. Speccing weissach to get either PTS OR Mag wheels is worth it in my book.
harder to justify weissach otherwise, but I must admit the weissach touches all looked very cool.

I didn't realize that it came with the RaceTex dash. I would hate that. I would have ordered my car with leather everywhere if I could. The RaceTex always looks dusty and collects lint. It is intended to be a low friction surface to hold you in place so it makes zero sense on the dash unless you somehow got sofas and your passenger is holding on to the dash for dear life.
