Heres what the items the dealer is now pushing me to buy, which I am not 100% about:

1. Leather interior & seats - the fake leather on standard seats is fine, but the leather does dress the dash, door trim etc.
2. Bi-xeon lights - apparently the white light is much stronger and better.
3. Auto dimming mirrors & rain sensor ?- apparently good when trucks approaching. Not sure about this, but rain sensor is pretty basic item. adds $870
4. PASM - gives a much smoother ride when not in sport mode.
5. 19inch Boxster S wheels - looks much cooler on the car.
6. Light design package ?- additional LED lights for overhead console, door handles, footwells - probably could be deleted but adds $720

Thinking to delete items 3 and 6 - what do the Experts think??

# 2 is very nice. Nice to really see well at night! Skip #s 3 and 6. Waste of $$$. #5 is not so important. I like my 2003 S just fine with 18" wheels.
Get cruise control. I wouldn't own a car without it (Shut up Jake )!
