Default Targa 4 GTS Build Sheet - Opinions Wanted

Here is the "final" build sheet for my Targa 4 GTS allocation. Will lock within a few days. Unfortunately, no PTS which I really wanted but they will not allow it. Same with no Euro Delivery unfortunately.

Wheels will be the Turbo S center lock wheels. I plan on painting the wheels silver, I like the contrast, and probably replacing the "Targa 4 GTS" badge on the rear with silver as well.

Open to opinions or any "must haves" that I may have missed. Thanks!

Other than the color scheme and MT, a very similar build to my Targa 4 GTS. IMHO, you do not need the Power Steering Plus. I do not have it, make several turns at low speed on our long driveway, and have absolutely no trouble turning the wheel at such low speeds.

Front axle lift is a waste of money. Sounds good in theory but you're not gonna use it when you need it and you're not going to need it when you use it. Spend it on the Burmeister instead.

I've heard a few times that front lift is essential if you have speed bumps or rough roads.

Is the Burmeister really worth it over Bose?

Since you ask for feedback, I think you have quite a few options that add "nothing" to the build: Power steering plus, ionizer and illuminated lateral gills. Zero value add proposition.
Front axle lift is debatable (I'm also speccing a T4GTS and left it out). LED matrix lights is the biggest waste of money since they're not activated (yet) in the USA - PDLS+ lights are amazing on their own.
Since you're going for a leather interior, don't miss on this option, to complete the interior:

thanks for the info! The dealer recommended those three small options. For under $1k total for the 3, seems worth keeping. They strongly recommended the front lift and PDLS lights as well. Everyone seems to say the lights will be amazing once activated and I'm sure that will happen over the life of the vehicle.

I'll look at that leather steering wheel option

I have a GTS Cab with front lift and use it often each time I use the car. Highly recommend getting it as it takes a lot of stress out of daily driving. Also have the leather steering column and I do think it’s a very nice addition to the full leather. You notice the deviated stitching

Forgot to mention I would suggest considering the aluminum / leather gear selector. Its just that little bit larger and better fitting for the full leather interior (i have same Interior as you)

I guess w the 18 way seats I can't do leather steering column. Also, it's manual so no gear selector

Yes, but you choose the wrong one.
See my post above - it's the one compatible with memory package

I think rear steering is awesome. Tight turning circle, and I like how it feels on the road.

You realise your “Heated GT sport steering wheel” is the Racetex one? If the car’s a keeper you might want to consider the leather one.

Mirror bases in body colour is a cheap option and looks a lot nicer than the std dull black plastic, especially on your Gentian Blue colour. They will be very noticeable.

Are you sure re the steering wheel? The other ones list Race-tex, this one is the non-race-tex one I believe.

I thought we had selected mirrors the same as body color but guess it got lost in the build. Will def add that back
