Looks like I have chosen a MCSC

Ive tried the search button but its just not working out.

I am trying to keep the car as base as possible. It will be a CR MCS convertible. The only options i am getting are black bonnet stripes, xenons, cruise control, and the center arm rest. Any option i am missing that anyone here feels is a must have? I plan to put in my order sometime this week.

thanks foks, great site

Well, a lot of it depends on what you want the car for. If it is just an every day driver then you are looking good. Some may say get the fogs to fill out your toggle bank or get the LSD if it is going to be tracked, but with a convertible, prolly not so much.

Have full toggles is nice though.

Get both fogs. Otherwise you get a cheap plastic cap where the rear fog goes and holes in your bumper that are left unused. . . .

Heated seats would be nice, especially in a convertible that you might want to drive in cooler months. . .

Multi Function Steering Wheel. Cruise control for those times you're on the freeway.

Heated seats are a very nice addition to the convertible. I find that with them on, windows up and the heater vents blowing from the dash, I can comfortably drive top-down with temps as low as 40F.

If money is an issue I'd consider dropping the armrest (which I've heard mixed things about) and buy a windscreen from Classic.

And yes, in a 'vert I think seat heaters are a must, even in Los Angeles - I've been there and know it can get chilly enough to enjoy them :smile:
