Have it Your Way: Top 10 Priciest Sports Car Add-Ons

© Provided by MotorTrend

Imagine this scenario: The time has come to place an order for that fancy new sports car you've always wanted. You've amassed a nice chunk of change specifically for this purchase, so you're looking at all your options -- think Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Chevrolet, Nissan, Jaguar, Maserati, or Dodge.

You've got the color nailed down, but what about options? In this realm, options are aplenty. And as you can imagine, they're also not all that cheap. A lot are cool. Some are just silly.

We've compiled a list of options and accessories you can expect to see on your imaginary sports car's build sheet. From a $63,000 paint job to a $550 illuminated badge, you'll be shocked and awed by some of the priciest accouterments on the market today.

And the Hellcat black hood option has already been discontinued.

The AMG badge looks cool!

Some of these are not even close to a pricey add on.

And just a side note, on Motor Trend's list up there the Z07 option is actually a full performance package consisting of multiple items so compared to the others on the list, which are single-item options, it's quite a deal although the caveat is that once you opt for the Z07 Pkg in your Z06 build you will also have to add-on another mandatory option- Carbon Fiber Ground Effects Package, Carbon Flash-painted ($2,995) or Visible Carbon Fiber ($3,995).

In the end, the Z07 Performance Package upgrade cost: $10,990 or $11,990 (depending on painted or visible carbon fiber).

Let's see. 918 Spyder with regular paint AND a ATS-V coupe, or 918 Spyder with Liquid Metal paint. Decisions, Decisions, Decisions.
