    In my opinion, The park sensors make the bumpers on any car look "ODD" they break-up the surface of the bumpers with these dimples! I've been told that if you are parking alot in areas where it's tight and there are lot's of obsticles around then it might be wise to obtain them. As for the run flats I have heard two things against them: 1) they add quite a bit of unsprung weight to your suspension! 2) they have pretty stiff side walls so your car will ride a little harsher than with out them
    With regards to the ceramic brakes I went back and forth when I was ordering was it worth the $$$ for the few days the car would be on the track and I decided against them!

    i would definitely recommend the parking sensors. the view out the back isn't the best. saved me a couple times.

    For what its worth, when I just optioned my spider a couple of weeks ago, my salesman told me the ceramics were certainly encouraged as he felt at trade in time it would be a money back situation, stating that all models (future) will be having the ceramics in the future likely as standard (for ex 599 currently). Again, could be more what most dealerships would want you to buy, but some options my salesperson steered me away from as well, so I am inclined to believe him when he says it will be a highly sought option when one trades in their car down the road. Hope this helps.

    Run flats will insure you have no tire problems as has occurred and can be attested to by those electing the alternative. A bit harsher ride, but not significant and the monitor is very nice and convenient.

    Parking sensors. Why not? The only objection is adding 4 small tiny circles to the front/rear bumper (some might call them decorative and others a distraction). They have helped and/or saved me countless times.

    Ceramic brakes look good. Otherwise an expensive ($17,000) decoration unless you track regularly and are very hard on brakes.

    Best
