Dashcam prep: ditch it. Just buy a dashcam from Amazon. Much better than oem.
power steering plus: ditch it unless you have weak arms. Doesn’t make too much difference with or without.
spider wheels: very clever. Best to avoid center locks unless it’s your only choice.
otherwise your build is perfect, great taste, enjoy!

coming from a 24 targa gts owner(but sold).
I have a 24 Targa now in manual. I thought the mount is generic and it's the wire. if not going to get rid of it. I think I am going to add red seatbelts. The Center locks I have now kinda board of them. I always liked the Spyders and i like that they're gray.

The pros of ceramics:
- Overall better breaking power (the steels are very performant already)
- Reduce unsprung mass
- No brake dust
The cons of ceramics:
- Expensive option
- Very expensive to replace
Ceramics make sense if you want better breaking power and don't mind the $$$ to replace or switch for the track. They make a lot of sense on GT cars or on Turbo S (standard).
They also make sense if brake dust annoy you enough to pay $$$ as an option.
A few of us are pointing out you don't need it and that's just because many deep ceramics to be overkill on a Carrera / Targa. The regular steel brakes are already excellent.
I have ceramics on my GT3 and GT4RS and had steels on my previous Carrera S.
