Default $1100 Porsche credit...what to get for my Spyder??

I have an $1100 Porsche credit that has to be used at a dealer by 2/28. I could do the responsible thing and get rear tires, but I am leaning towards the PSE? Any other idea's? The PSE is a little more than I would like to spend right now but not sure what else would be worth it? I have been browsing on Suncoast site to see all the other goodies.

First choice would be PSE, it is worth it!

Second choice would be the Tires, Oil Change, Flush the Brake Fluid and any other maintenance needed.

I would get the silly expensive LiON battery instead of PSE, but that's just me.

If you want to come up with the dough, like everyone said, PSE all the way. It is worth it.

I wouldn't get the LiON battery, I don't think a 22lbs diet is noticeable on the car. I'd use the money to get a gym membership, a bow flex or chuck norris total gym, to lose the 22lbs myself.

But staying within the $1,100 credit, I am getting the SSK.

On a Spyder, you have to get PSE.

So PSE installed by a dealer post-factory is likely near $4,000 right folks? I almost bought a car without and I knew I was going to want the PSE and it seemed like so much. Turns out I got an allocation for an order and ordered with PSE. It's pure vanity with no increased performance, but now having it, I would have spent the $4,000 to have it installed if I had a vehicle without it. It's that yummy. You'll be hunting for underpasses and jersey walled exits all the time!

Couldn't have said it better myself. It is that addictive!

A part was ordered for my car which arrived damaged in shipment from The factory after a 6 week wait time. So the part had to be re-ordered and PCNA was nice enough to compensate me for my patience.

My local dealer is willing to match Suncoast pricing so would likely be about 3k installed I believe for the PSE but I am asking for an exact quote.

I also thought of some Porsche Exclusive leather bits in sand beige could be nice....door sills or console lid with crest like Eduardo and his spider-man Spyder.
