The aluminum look gas cap. $160 to add some shiny silver colored plastic to the regular gas cap. Ridiculous, but makes me just a little happy every time I fill up.

Billet aluminum PDK shifter, aka shaver.
Several reports of the plastic stock "shaver" cracking.

Same. But I actually think it makes filling up gas a little more special. So IMO worth it. I probably won't buy the matching coolant and oil caps from Suncoast though lol

I think the most frivolous option available is the leather cover for the owner's manual. Anyone care to fess up to having purchased it?

The entire car is frivolous - and an absolute joy to drive and own. We are a privileged bunch - I am thankful every day.

Painted keys and all the blue stitching. It makes ownership all that more special at every moment.
