Lightbulb Thoughts on accessories for a nooB

Hey all ... long time lurker, and admirer of the great 8.

I'm slated to finally take the plunge and finance mine in the new year.

I've settled on getting the GT, but wanted some thoughts on some of the many, many, many accessories that are available from RX-8 veterans. Particularly accenting and style pieces.

Looking for any feedback on accessories you all love / hate / can't live without / wish they had ordered ...

I know this thread topic has probably been hammered into the ground in the past, but I feel it'd make a good refresher ...

I don't want to go overboard, but at this point, may as well go big or go home :D

The only reason I'd consider the nav is to undertake the DIY of adding additional S-Video inputs to the screen. :D :D

A $3,000 map did seem a little steep, even though the demonstration I received was impressive.

Sorry, gotta remember that I'm quoting the Canadian figures.
