As for the hardtop and humps, the fact that they are easily removable and separately sellable helps keep interest in these options. I don't know that they'll add too much to the resale of a 986 though.

I wont suggest numbers since I'm currently selling my 986 with a hardtop and humps. I'll let the market set that added value.
I wouldn't pay a dime more for any of those options and would view the humps and hard top as just taking up space in my garage. The exhaust option would be a red flag as I would assume the car had been tracked regularly. The only options that mattered to me in my purchase where heated seats, 6 speed manual and of course the "S" model. Wind stop and PSM were nice-to-have's. Of course I wouldn't really pay more for those options, just wouldn't buy a car that didn't have them. Low miles made much more of a difference in what I was willing to pay.
