Is the Sport Package Really Worth it?

I didn't get the sports package.

Here's why:
1) I personally think the rear spoiler ruins the lines of the car
2) I live in LA where the front spoiler would have been destroyed in a week. Hell, the underside of the nose of my car is scratched up daily.
3) I like the design of the 18 inch wheels better, plus there'd be an increased cost to replacing tires, which I tend to do frequently
4) LSD - that i do miss, but if i wanted to would just buy that aftermarket
5) bigger brakes won't do much on the streets. plus the base brakes are quite good as is
6) synchro revmatch. a cool thing, for sure, but it's the first run of the first car to ever get it. i don't want to have to worry about it breaking in the future. more electronics means more that can break.

Overall, I think the sport package is a terrific deal for the price, but to me, I figured it wasn't worth it and the extra money just covered the sales tax. Would I like some of those features, sure, but not enough.
