Are black brake calipers still an option? Power steering plus, I believe you can code that on and off using a x431 or thinkdiag which is only $100. I don't have it and don't feel the need or want for it. It just reduces steering effort in parking situations.
The Bose is just so-so, but it has a subwoofer at least for some resemblance of bass. The thing with getting the Bose is you can more easily upgrade to musicar I believe.
I don't remember, spasm, sport Chrono or PTV? If you plan on tracking it, I think all of those are musts. If this is just going to be more of a fun cruiser, then you can skip those.

One thing I am thinking if I should upgrade or not. Keep the stock trim or upgrade to Black Brushed Aluminum?

I been looking for sill guards, I did a quick search and only found one company "KI Studios" that has them. Are those the ones you would recommend?

I quadruple down on what others say about the smoking pack. It's a bit of a rookie mistake to skip it.
Personally, I'm over the satin black wheel look. I have two Porsches right now with them and I'm not going there again if I can help it. It looks pretty good on your spec so long as you are good with the militaristic look. But where they seem out of place to me is with the white interior. I would suggest going with the gray wheels that way there's a color gradient transition from very business-like exterior to the very light interior.
As for Bose, just take it if you don't plan on doing any aftermarket car audio mods and aren't an audiophile.

Black brushed aluminum might make it a little too dark. I have the brushed aluminum trim and it looks nice with the Bordeaux leather in my car. I have the shifter in brushed aluminium as well. It is a no cost option. The standard trim is shiny but perfectly fine as well. A neat option is steering column casing in leather with deviated stitching in Bordeaux red to match the rest of the trim. 670 bucks.
Smoking package adds an extra 12v socket in the console which is useful and a no cost option. To me, you have all the bases covered. Wheel colors are personal preferences.

Thank you for your notes. I think you made some good points. Maybe the black brushed is too dark. Do you have pictures of your interior?
Also the smoking package, would it remove a place for me to place a phone? I see that the smoking package adds a lid on top of the hole.
