This is what I'm leaning toward as of today:
2007 Meteor Gray/Black Std Lthr 6-spd
Auto climate control
Rim Crest
Htd front seats
Bixenon
Remote CD chgr
PCM w/Nav
Self-Dim Mirrors w/rain sensor
Bose
Power seats package
Mats
My local dealer has this car on the boat arriving on/about March 1st (just in time for Spring). Any last-minute thoughts/suggestions before I finalize with a deposit?
TIA,

Just got my new 987, so the ordering process (and agonizing over options is familiar to me...)
heated seats are a must, if anything is, in a Roadster - no matter where you live in this country, there can always be cool nights at least. Mats - of course...wheel crests - of course...
Xenons - definitely worth it if you plan on doing any long night drives through the countryside - and who wouldn't?
Bose - well, if it's a decent upgrade over the SPP, then yes, but otherwise no. After 3 days in the car, I can think of things I'd rather have spent the money on than that sound system "upgrade" - like the painted rear center console?
auto climate control - nice on a coupe, not as important on a roadster it seems to me - the standard system seems to work pretty intelligently.
Power seats seem totally superfluous to me.
Cd changer - useless IMO if you have PCM w/nav since that's the system that can actually play mp3 cds- you could have 130 or so tracks per disc. BUT - does the cd changer also play mp3 discs then? Then it's worth having, since the in dash player on the Boxster is always single disc, right? My GTI has a 6-disc in dash mp3 cd changer.
I like the sport sterring wheel I have too, but I'm sure it wouldn't take more than few minutes to get used to the stocker.
My dealer had a Meteor GT3 they were delivering - really nice color...
