Well its already up to $242k,
Damn. Lol. There aren't many 'performance' options on the Turbo S so most of that is "bling" yes? It doesn't look like you picked any of the body kits (Sport Package, etc.) so $35k in options takes some real work in the configurator.

and I'm guilty on the $10k leather package.
Heh, if you gotta have it you gotta have it.

No centerlocks for me. I'm ambivalent on them. Cool factor vs. no clear benefit. I prefer the look of the 5 spoke wheels and they have regular lugs.
I have the 5-spoke 5-lug Classic Sport wheels on my TT. Much, much easier to clean and I too like the look.
Back to FAL: It it was *me* I'd get standard PASM and no FAL. With PDCC and RAS, the Turbo really doesn't need SPASM IMO. It's got grip and handling to spare. ... unless it's just going to be a weekend / track-day ride. My 718T has SPASM and it's cool for a go-kart ride but I'd grow tired of it on the TT. If I was going to get SPASM I'd also get FAL.
A lot depends upon the roads on which you'll use it.
Note that all the "active" stuff (Aero and FAL) under the front bumper makes for some very expensive repairs if you get some scrapes or hit anything.

I spend time on the inside and I want it to be nice :-).
Oh, I get that. Here's my blinged-out 718T:
