Default RS owners, how did you spec your car?

If you don't mind, how did you option your car? Did everyone keep it modest and pure, or go hog wild?

Must show pictures if you did any cool interiors. We live vicariously through you!

Thanks

Only two options - Xenon lights and floor mats. Now adding GT3 seats, roll bar and harnesses. Car is in my avatar at the left.

996 GT3 seats. The new ones are stupidly expensive.

I am using the tequipment bar since my car did not come with the $#@! plates. The TQ bar has stood up well in various roll overs posted on the net so I guess I can't complain too much. Still sorting out the understeer - major improvement but still a bit of tweaking to do. Also planning on 18 inch wheels to use the stickier non N cup tires. I am concerned about the supply of 235 and 315 x 18 tires though. Not brave enough to go for AC delete. Resale is terrible with that option. Have you considered taking AC and having the parts removed and stored? The RS is civil enough to use as a DD.

Not really concerned over resale....plan on keeping this one and like the idea of a factory diet....will have the base 3 for a DD.

I didn't go wild with the specs. Here's the rundown:

567 Windscreen with Grey tint
P74 Bi-Xenon headlights
XXZ Sports style footrest
595 Rollcage in Black
810 Floormats
CJA Headlight washers in Exterior Colour
X69 Door Guards in Carbon

I added the Painted center console, Ignition Key rosette, and seatbelt finishers all done up in Orange.

Cause they don't think spending 9K USD on brakes is worth it and also, some had really bad experience with gen 1 PCCB and left them "bidder".

FYI, when you don't order Xenons, you are not forced to have the headlight washers "nipples". They're small but much cleaner look without them IMO.
