R50/53 What Options or Accessories do you wish you had ordered
#27
I have had it for just almost a week. I have every option I think I would want. I like the spedometer off to the side. the most important thing about a mcs is the tach. I can already hear the engine to guage the speed I am going at. Just pick 4th and keep it below 3k, im doing fine for 40mph road, after that I hear it slightly uneven in 6th, I know I am doing 60mph. If it's smooth in 6th I know I am doing 15+ the speed limit.
I managed to get every option I wanted and remove unecessary ones that I actually like not having. (one of them is rear fog, on BRG it looks icky I think, plus, im dring much faster than anyone else in the rain/fog i noticed with ease, so I dont think anyone is goign to rear end me!) I think mandatory is DSC. For psychotic drivers, LSD (those that take turns at 40 down sidestreets in third gear... woot! was fun!) Cold places: Cold weather package. holy cow, those heated seats are fast and perfect. low is really nice, high is good for 1-2 mins of intensity.
The HK i got at last minute. I thought it was a waste at first, but then ... wow, sucker rox and is really relaxing with the heated seats If you are trying to impress a lady, I suggest: Chromeline interior, anthracite headliner, HK and cold weather package. man, they sure feel like they are in a $$$ car It's worked so far!

There aren't any options I didn't get that I wish I had (doesn't leave many)... but there is one I DID get that I wish I hadn't - the H/K stereo. I like it, but with the DPSM available now (and completely blowing away the H/K), I wish I'd "waited to see" if the DPSM came to the USA, because it eventually did.
The DPSM cannot be installed if you have the H/K. Completely different wiring harnesses.

The only thing missing is...
Chrome - I wish now that I had the chromeline interior. I'm normally not fond of chrome, but in this case, it gives the interior a more finished look.
I wish that they had a tan cloth option for the seats (leather seats are just crazy - cold in the winter, hot and sticky in the summer and they don't wear as well as good cloth). I'd also like to see body-color interior panels in Pepper White (rather than just red and blue).
Other than that, maybe different wheels - the S-Lites are a bit clunky - but I'm not sure it's worth the $$$.
Now, for things that I want that weren't factory options...
Clear Bra
Upgraded IC (I like what I'm hearing about the M7 DFIC)
Reduction Pulley (M7 again)
CatBack exhaust upgrade - still looking at all the options...

Trust me, the darker colors show the dirt on the boot much worse ! I'm cleaning the CR boot much more often than I am on the PW one.
And in winter, the crap we get on the roads around here will be much more visible on the CR than the PW (salt and other chemicals).
