Subtle mods to the GTS?

So really don't have to do performance mods but anyone consider subtle mods like electronic steering wheel, CF shift lever and trim which is an option package in the UK? Also would you consider putting on the rocker panels or the CF mirror caps? If I did it would be all OEM M Performance so it would not degrade the car in any way other than opinion in taste?

Frankly, I am shocked they didn't include the steering wheel with LED's a la Ferrari for the $134k they are charging. That being said, I think that would be a relatively inexpensive but cool addition to the car. Actually functional on track as well. Also would consider the factory carbon buckets that are not standard in the US.

I would try to get the euro buckets first and then do the electronic steering wheel after.

I guess it's already more than perfect..
Keep the GTS originality, it will last longer.

Don't disagree with you but there are euro spec options that we do not get in the US that if able to get would make the car they it was supposed to be

I think as long as the mods are reversible, why not?

I have 0 doubt someone is gonna be putting BBS FI-R on the GTS sooner than later!

Hang it from the spoiler. That's a more unique approach.
