I bought my wife a coach purse and a nice watch to keep her distracted. She's happy with my modding as long as she gets her "mods" too!

W/// wroteThe GTS lip rep has caught my eye, I'm still unsure about the cars clearance when backing out of my slanted driveway though. I'm afraid I may scrape in stock form...Curt2000 wroteOption 2, definitely. Makes a giant difference, the car looks so much better.Ok so based on these comments I'm finding out the replica cf parts are a no-go.
I'm partially glad my wife regulates the modding so I space it out and appreciate each individual mod more.
The more I think about it the more the steering wheel becomes my top choice. The custom trim would be ballin but I have exhaust and supercharger to save up for before I get into the discrete details
I'd recommend going rep with the front splitters. They get beat up all the time, so I can't justify dropping that much money on it. The JBSpeed one is pretty good.
However, going OEM rear spoiler is a good idea as that's a piece that's much more visible (and you have to live with all the time). McKenna, a forum sponsor has it for not THAT much more than what reps are going for.

Curt2000 wroteI scrape with my rep CF splitters if I'm not careful going out of steep driveways. And that's also with stock non ZCP suspension. Gotta pay to play, thus why I choose to pay for the cheaper ones. As long as the fit is not horrific, I'm ok with it. Plus my car is gunmetal, so it's not as obvious as light color cars.The GTS lip rep has caught my eye, I'm still unsure about the cars clearance when backing out of my slanted driveway though.

Snig wroteLOL I've owned two S2000's and will probably buy another eventually...great car!
Prowess Symphony wroteYeah, she gripes a lot but at the end of the day when we are pulling up to a nice resturaunt in the M3 I know she enjoys it as much as I do.Nothing wrong with a wife that minds the budget. I'm thankful when my gf limits my spending. Initially she didn't even want me getting a M3 so I could save money...but then I took her for a test drive... now I can get one!
Clearly you need to do mods the wife won't notice! 
With regards to your list of 3 items, PSWII definitely as thats the one you are in contact with the most.

W/// wroteWho do you think makes the best fitting closes match front splitters to the OEM spoiler? ThanksIn terms of what, the CF weave pattern? It'll look just fine.
ibmike wroteIf you are worried about the weave pattern matching just be sure to buy the both from the same vendor. JBSpeed, JLMotoring, e92lighting all have good repsWho do you think makes the best fitting closes match front splitters to the OEM spoiler? Thanks
Tomislav wrote+1 and B1tch back at her the next time she goes to Nordstrom and Lord and Taylor. (Even though you probably won't win that battle)Get a new wife, or get your own bank account she doesn't meddle with
Well Gents I decided to grab a Revinora CRT chin spoiler. I'll probably wait a couple weeks and pick up a iND specialty painted Performance spoiler as well. I've reasoned with her and she has agreed to the performance steering wheel if she gets a Las Vegas Premium outlets shopping spree...Thats one expensive steering wheel.
We can definitely hook you up when you're ready to pull the trigger on any Performance items doesn't matter if they're OEM or aftermarket!
I'll even throw in some goodies for the wife so you can tell her you got her a little something

Man, I love it, you have grip all the time, it feels really good and it gives you a constant reminder that you are in a race car, it almost makes you feel the car better and the road as well. check out the pics:
