I eliminated the yellow stitch,..a little silly considering it cost an extra $2k for yellow thread. I hear you.
Interesting comment regarding the sports chrono, as it was designed for the track guy. I've had it and would not buy it again. It was cool at night as it ran, but you have to start it and passengers thought it was a clock. I would like to try the cleaner look.
I have to say I've seen some 06's for $20k off their sticker after they've been owned for a year. Depreciation that hard after a year? Ouch.

As to the Sport Chrono, the track guys (like me) say the opposite -- I'd never get it for track use, so we all thought it was a street driver's option because of the power seat memory functions.

You know that kind of depreciation is almost a compelling argument for taking the time to order a custom colour, custom interior, etc... - something special, if you're going to order one new.

I would remove the yellow dials and go with regular black. Much easier to see during the day and easy on the eye. If u have to go with colored dial(other than black or white), please see one in person first. I would not go with yellow seatbelts too. They get dirty much faster than black. Get door finishers in leather, stainless steel door sills(illuminated).

Yeah, I agree. Get exactly what you want; no more and no less.

How about the sand/tan dials? Can't handle the black dials, need contrast. Didn't think about the inevitable dirt on the belts--good call. I am on the door sills.

Not a real big ticket item, but I would suggest getting the Lloyds mats with Carrera 4S stitched in yellow and with the yellow border. I got mine (red stitching and red border) at: http://www.ajusa.com/cgi-bin/lloyd/start
The mats are great quality and there are nice options for borders and a range of inscriptions on the mats to choose from. The price should be far less than that for the $510 standard OEM mats! You could buy a winter set and summer set and still have money left over.

Thanks statman. That's something I needed to know.
Based upon what everyone has told me, and the fact I've moved back into the S2 after a test drive of the S4 (felt heavier). Here is where I am:
Base Price $92,800
Options for Vehicle
Black (Full Leather) $3,365
Power Seat Package $1,550
Black (Leather Seats) $1,520
Bose High End Sound Package $1,390
Leather Rear Center Console $1,260
Gear Shifter Aluminum $880
Stainless Steel Door Entry Guards Illuminated $780
Leather Sport Steering Wheel $490
Heated Front Seats $480
19" Carrera Classic Wheel $390
Self-Dimming Mirrors $385
Leather Door Finishers $360
Leather Gear Lever Trim $250
Fire Extinguisher $140
Black Top $0
Speed Yellow (Standard Paint) $0
Total TMV® for Vehicle Options $13,240
Destination Charge $795
Total New Vehicle Price $106,835
Left behind the yellow trimmed mats as they will darken as will the seatbelts, the yellow trim since I can't get over spending $2k for yellow thread, chrono-not a believer any more (no offense), fancy pants seats-not a good fit for me on my last car, no lobsters-grrr.
You guys have been a huge help, steering me towards the proven appreciated items. Am I done? Ya!?

I noticed you left out yellow dials which is good IMO. By default, you will get white, but I think black dials will look better that white in a SY car. U can get mats with yellow tubing from lloyds.

I'm glad to hear that. I was hoping there would be some form of duplication thereby reducing my cost. Thanks for pointing that out.

Correcto-mundo. I agree they'd be hard to see everyday, but was considering the sand/tan color. I was going to bounce it off the dealer and hope they could show me a sample. I don't want a bright yellow dial, but the sand may be okay creating a good contrast with the yellow and the black.
