I got the extended dash board( awesome), the extended door(stupid- can not notice the difference), and the steering wheel column(cool - you certainly notice). Of course red stitching w/ my white car and red calipers. I think it is perfect.

Thought about the full seats but glad I did not because no back seats, no one can tell, and you you will be focusing what is in front of you and not in back.

I ordered extended dash, steering column, and seat backs. I saw it in person and thought it looked awesome.

Valid point. I'm on the fence for leather.

Anyone estimate the added weight for the package?

5-10 lbs. range I would guess? We also have to consider the added Alcantara.

^ if one is so concerned about weight then you might as well knock of the floor mats, plastic cover of the smoking package, passenger net, etc....

The leather and alcantara options are all about how you want your driving environment to be.

I ordered the leather seat backs. My car is black and I saw a black GT3 with full seat backs in leather. Amazing how it looks as you walk up to the car and open the doors. Definitely sticks out. I'll just focus on loosing 8 more lbs! Just being health conscious!

Totally agree. After having cars both ways the leather just makes for a much nicer cockpit experience. I'm with skuplist, just add an extra workout every week and your lap times won't suffer.

On a car this expensive I think leather is a near must unless you only plan to track it. It really makes the interior much more upscale. I've also added the leather steering column which looks great with the contrast stitching.

Why not get the visors wrapped in alcantera to match the roofliner? You should be able to do it after the fact for $150-200 and it will fit in better and cover up the stupid stickers?

Quick question as I'm not exactly clear. If I order the sports bucket with leather interior, what exactly becomes leather/alcantara in addition to the standard interior?

I believe , your dash top 1/2 leather, bottom of it is then alcantara ( plastic top front of dash), door trim leather/alcantara , and aluminum trim carries from dash onto doors as well

interior more quality finish to my eye with adding this option

very good option. thanks. I think I was able to remove the stickers on my .2. now I can't remember if that was possible or not. i know i removed the seat back ones.

imagine even when leathered covered the stickers are still present?
