I'll tell you what my cousin told me when I was ordering my car. Get it exactly like you want it, otherwise you will never be satisfied. In the long run, its a lot easier to get over paying a bit more than it is wishing you would have chosen an option you don't have.

I'm kinda wishing I had held out for an '07 for the power seat option alone... my wife can't see over the dash.. and that's a pretty big complaint. That's why they added that for '07. I'd do what it takes to get that.. if you ever plan on havin' a little lady in the passenger seat.

So I plan to order an 07GT (coupe, manual trans, alloy gray). But I can't decide how to option it out.
My initial thought is premium coupe, IUP, premier package. But as you know this adds over two thousand bucks to the MSRP
$460 Interior upgrade package
$395 Premier trim
$1180 deluxe to premium (leather and shaker 500)
I'm just not sure if I want to throw that much cash towards the interior of a sports car. The stereo would get replaced eventually so I'm shying away from the Shaker 500 but I probably wouldn't upgrade it immediately. I do sort of like the idea of the premier upgraded armrests because I have boney elbows, but that requires the IUP. The leather.. I dig but it isn't the smartest for the summer (especially in dark charcoal like I want), but I'm also not a fan of the running pony motif on the cloth.
The only option that is a definite is the alarm. I will get the base wheels because I'd upgrade myself eventually, and I don't mind the bullit style.
Anybody want to chime in with their advice so I can slow the flip-flopping in my head?

Exactly! If you want something GET IT! If not, several months down the road you'll be saying I wish that I would've got... IMO, definitely get the premium w/IUP- At a minimum!

Side airbags are a must for me. Why in the world would you deny yourself more protection? It's like insurance. You hope you never need it, but you pay a little more just in case the worst happens.

Personally I think the IUp is a really good option to get, looks wise it's just a lot better. It'll come down to your preferences. In my mind I was buying a bloody expensive car that I wanted to enjoy for a long while and not feel I compromised (which was always the case with my last 3 used Mustangs, I always compromised in some way and ended up regretting it). So I figured in for a penny in for a pound and just optioned the car to the nuts.
