Default Heritage package

I'm about to pull the trigger on the purchase of a 2011 Grand Sport. It's equipped with the heritage package. I know the package includes two-tone seats, except with the Ebony interior, and some tape stripes. For cars equipped with the Ebony interior what do you get for the $1,195 besides a couple of pieces of tape and "Grand Sport" on the seat backs?

You just listed it. The only reason I bought a heritage GS is the dealer discounted the heritage amount.

You can probably get the seat covers off a vendor here for a few hundred bucks and put them on yourself in a few hours so you're basically paying $1k for two ugly stripes on the car.

it would be worth it if the stripes were painted on instead of the cheezy tape, that said, you could not peel them off. Two bad choices.

In 35 or 40 years, maybe, just maybe, if gasoline is still available and anyone has the $ this special option might bring you a bit more money at resale time. It's called a "rare option". I think it might be rare for a reason that being , as has been described by others, what you get for the money.

Yeah, that's all you get. It's as overpriced as the NPP exhaust and Nav.

Well, at least the NPP exhaust adds 6HP and sounds neat, the Nav. can't even hold a candle to a dash mounted Garmin.
