Is the Sport Package Really Worth it?

1) I personally think the rear spoiler ruins the lines of the car
2) I live in LA where the front spoiler would have been destroyed in a week. Hell, the underside of the nose of my car is scratched up daily.
3) I like the design of the 18 inch wheels better, plus there'd be an increased cost to replacing tires, which I tend to do frequently
4) LSD - that i do miss, but if i wanted to would just buy that aftermarket
5) bigger brakes won't do much on the streets. plus the base brakes are quite good as is
6) synchro revmatch. a cool thing, for sure, but it's the first run of the first car to ever get it. i don't want to have to worry about it breaking in the future. more electronics means more that can break.

Overall, I think the sport package is a terrific deal for the price, but to me, I figured it wasn't worth it and the extra money just covered the sales tax. Would I like some of those features, sure, but not enough.

I got the sport package because it makes the car look 1000 times better, and to add all the stuff onto the car would be atleast 4000 if not more.

Get it, if you dont you will most likely regret it. Unless you just dont care about your car and its just a way to get around.

The stock LSD is crap, ok for street, but nothing else. SRM is a cool option to have, the brakes are decent enough, overall for the 3 grand extra, for all you get, it isnt a bad option, however, I'd save the 3k and spend that on a new exhaust, hfcs, intakes and a programmer. And maybe one of them bobblehead chihuahuas or hula girl. Oh yeah, keep in mind, if you want to ever replace the stock LSD, which you will if you ever want to drift/autox, you have to purchase additional side shafts for the new system, not the case with a base differential housing.

Your right it is a opinion. Do you really want "decent enough" brakes on a 30,000 dollar sports car. Or rims that look like they could be on a 15,000 dollar car.
