What GT3 options are worth the cost?

hard to pick just one...

Otherwise...
Full leather is a nice improvement on the interior, the xenons are great at night though they are targets for theft, and the thicker wheel feels great in your hands.
I also agree with Steve that the GT3 console delete is a must have.

Full Leather;
Xenons; and
Thicker Wheel.
All else is a subjective and to personal tastes. I did get a few more things mostly low dollar items with the exception of C/F doorsills, center console and handbrake/shifter which I felt was needed to spruce up the interior a bit. I could have lived w/o the alum dials and stitching but since this was my first P-car I dove in head first.

leather, xenons, thicker wheel (mabye)
everything else is, as metalsolid put it so eloquently, fofo.
get aluminum / carbon parts if u want the bling factor, everything else is uneccessary
i'm surprised this hasn't spawned an argument about PCCB yet one mention of that word is usually enough to drop the hat on a class action lawsuit thread.

I agree with Metal & others about the value-cost etc, but that said these thing make the car feel nicer, and make it something nicer to own.
I have (added later for over 1K) the thicker wheel, it is much, much nicer, and worth the $$.
I have, and also like the Xenon's (came with the car).
I don't have, but wish I did, the full leather. The plastic looks/feels cheap and nasty, and doesn't seem right in such a costly car IMHO.
I am so relieved not to have self destructing PCCB's as I thought I wanted them when I bought the car. Thank heavens I couldn't find a car with them fitted, Phew!!!
I have added the GT3 seats, Tquipment rollbar & 5 point harness, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires and Pagid RS-19 brake pads. All these make it really great at the track, a big plus.

The only option worth its price is the Clubsport package.

i am track illiterate, and i am looking at a GT3 right now for that purpose,
what exactly is the difference between a 4/5/6 point harness , besides the number of belts.
are certain belts required for entering certain events?, which is the best number to get, i would assume they are all about the same cost, and which to get depends on the application one plans to use them in?
i would assume that 6 points would 'cover all the bases?', since having more belts can't hurt as much as not having enough.?

In Europe, is the console popular?
