What FD should I be wanting???
I have begun the saving and searching for my future FD. So, so pumped. Anyway, what would be the best package to look for (meaning R1, pep, etc.)? Ideally, I'd like driving lights, bose, leather, sunroof, spoiler (not too important).
I thought it was true, but all the FD's do have the same HP right?
I welcome any and all opinions and whatnot. Thanks.

Touring models have everything you list except the spoiler, but it is not uncommon to find a Touring with the factory spoiliers (front lip + rear) added on. I know they stopped offering the Touring model designation at some point, and that PEPs and PEGs have some or all of the features that the Touring did, but I don't know the details.
The best thing to look for is a car in good condition. I suggest not limiting yourself until you see what is available. There are some downsides with the options you listed that you might want to consider, too. The sunroof limits headroom, and can be a problem if you are tall, want to wear a helmet for track events, or both. The leather seats tend to not wear very well, and will have you sliding around on hard turns. The Bose system has its share of detractors -- you might be happier with the normal stereo, or perhaps an upgraded system (the Bose system is more difficult to upgrade). The Bose tube also limits cargo space in the rear. Clearly, each of these options has positives, too, but they aren't clearly better for everything.
