The interiors, I saw that the X has better interior than the FE.
Is it worth the extra HP?

Same interiors on GSR vs FE, minus the red stitching, different gauge welcome message, and black pillars and ceiling on the FE

I think it's worth the $3000 mainly for

1. Bilisteins rides much nicer.
2. Looks package (wheels, interior, stitching.
3. Sodium exhaust valve

I really think when you sell it you will get the $3000 back or more years down the road because it's the final.

Exactly, I think if you sit and think with a level head and compare it to a base 2015 GSR (both do not have recaros)

Base 2015 GSR: $34,495 MSRP

2015 FE: $37,995 MSRP

For an extra $3,500 you get:

HID headlights
Bilstein / eibach suspension
two piece front rotors
Sodium filled exhaust valves
Custom FE color wheels
Black Painted roof panel
FE Red stitching interior
Cubby doors in piano black
Piano black front grille trim
FAST key
Black headliner, pillars, sun visors, and assist handles

To upgrade to JUST match the HID's and Fast key on the GSR would cost you $2,000

So basically you are getting all the other stuff for an additional $1,500

Seems like a deal to me.

It's amazing what a calm and collected view can do for reality.

The black headliner, pillars, sun visors and assist handles alone would make it worth it to me. I hate the light interior from the belt line up that most cars have.

Agreed. I'm tempted to get the part numbers and do the swap. It looks so clean in all black

Or, get all your stuff redone or wrapped in black alcantara, and order the miscellaneous plastic bits that can't be wrapped.

From this perspective, the FE doesn't sound too far fetched. Hmm
