Good idea on the tires. I want to make sure I get rubber that doesn't change the speedometer/odometer, but also is more comfortable/quiet than stock, not just grippier.
As far as the service plan, I turned it down. The guy in finance was WRONG about the fact that the 4 years/50k miles maintenance doesn't transfer over when the car is sold in the CPO program. He was shifty. Of course I get no maintenance after 50K miles, but I really don't think it'll exceed $2500.

Ya, if you don't want a loud exhaust DO NOT get the performance exhaust. Your neighbors will hate you. The PPK is nice, though many on the forum will say it's way overpriced compared to various JB4 and Cobb options, but if you want a warrantied, OEM solution, it's a good way to go. I think you drove the 135is at Pacific awhile back, so you might be able to tell once your car arrives if you feel the difference.
As for the tires, if you're worried, stick with 215/245, but I don't know if the 225/255 really have any effect on the speedo since it's not like you're changing from 18's to 19's. The pilot super sports are MUCH quieter, smoother, grippier, and last twice as long as the runflats. And are cheaper. The runflats feel like they barrel and plow down the road like a piledriver/sledgehammer, whereas the pilot super sports feel like they conform and adjust to the contours of the road to always provide a constant contact patch. The continental extreme contact DW tires are another good option that are similar and about $200-300 less per set. I asked an expert the other day though about them and he said the pilot super sports are quieter.
Glad to hear that a-hole was wrong and you get the maintenance plan. Can't wait to see the car.
