What GT3 options are worth the cost?
The order guide for the GT3 is pretty darn long with lots of options that it's hard to appreciate in black and white. Polls are limited to 10 items, so which of the following do you think are worth the cost? What others have I not listed that are also worth the cost?
YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO PICK AS MANY OPTIONS IN THE POLL AS YOU LIKE!

Thick wheel, xenons, cruise- got the electric seats but really not needed and a waste if I put in the real seats anyway... the leather's nice, but I don't miss it when I'm putting down the go pedal...

Thicker wheel, xenon, cruise. I wouldn't get the power seats, they weigh more and the standard seats have a power back rest it's just the forward/backward slide that is manual (the price aside, $1200 just for power seats?)

I'm going to get the Alcantara wheel (RS). I like that better. I have the sport seats with colored seat backs (total waste of money), but at least I didn't have to pay for them (I rationalize that bymy nearly $8,000 discount). I like the carbon shifter - feels great.

The only option worth the price is Delete Model Designation, the rest are a rip-off. Many of the options, like Full Leather, Thicker Steering Wheel, PCCB and Xenon Headlamps should be standard with a zero-cost option to delete. Fofo crap like Electric Sport Seats shouldn't even be offered.

I've got the power seats which are a total waste of money and weigh a bunch more than the normal seat. The painted seat backs and center tunnel are ok, but I wouldn't order them. The carbon shifter I like, good feel and looks sharp. (I don't have the carbon door sills, but they give the car a pricier look. The stainless I think look cheesy.) Unless you're buying a track car, full leather and xenons are a must for something in this price range. The silver gauges look nice (in my case, it matches some of the other stuff including the exterior). The thicker steering wheel is a waste of money unless you're a linebacker. I've also got cruise, but never used it (another waste of $$$ in my mind). PCCB...not ready for prime time, why be their beta tester?

I suggest the Xenon lights - the regular headlights are underwhelming. I agree with Metal - the rest is a matter of personal taste. I have Xenon, floor mats, and stainless sills. Note CF sills scratch easily based on cars I've seen.

If you ever drive at night, get the Xenons.
If you ever drive on the highway without a lot of cover traffic, get cruise control. Unless you don't mind finding yourself doing 100+ and trying to explain to law enforcment officials that it's the 'natural' speed for the car that is.
If you want a thicker steering wheel, buy the Alcantara covered RS wheel from Gert. It's not quite as thick but this leaves you with the original wheel which shops like AGLA can customize.
The Alcantara covered RS shifter also feels nice (skip the RS handbrake unless you're enamored of the set).
Stainless door sills don't scuff like the stock plastic or the CF pieces (as Bob mentions). Actually they do scuff but you can buff them out unlike the others.
You can't order it on a car in NA but the GT3 Console Delete is a must have IMO. Makes it easier to heel and toe plus gives you more kneeroom for long trips.
