I have an 08 S and everytime I sit in a non S model and see pics of the inside of a non S model or hear people bitching about the things that they missed out on by not getting an S I sit back and think that im really glad I got an S.

The Addons are mostly to the interior of the car. Here is a list of differences off the top of my head:

Seats - different, more aggressive bolstering and materials. Also, arguably, more comfortable than the regular seats

Gauge cluster lighting is amber in color - This might be standard on all the 09s now, I'm not too sure.

Tachometer - not a requirement to drive, but it's nice to have. And an aftermarket tach will never look as clean and seamless as an oem tach.

Headliner/interior fabrics - slightly different material and Black color

Leather wrapped steering wheel (which many members here are spending up to $200 to switch out to)

Leather shift knob

AFAIK the 60/40 split rear seats come standard on the S model.

S exterior lip kit (saves on buying a kit later, and there really aren't many S lbs on the road, so the factory kit still looks pretty unique imo).

So now you only have one question to answer: Are these things worth the extra money to you?
