What are the best accessories for Ferrari 296 GTS?

Question

Ive had my Ferrari 296 GTS for about three months and know the basics of protecting the paint and keeping the car on a proper battery tender, but Im realizing I may be missing some model-specific accessories. I mainly use it for weekend drives around Southern California, with occasional overnight trips, and Im worried about buying expensive stuff that doesnt actually fit the 296 GTS properly. Ive set aside roughly $5,000 for useful upgrades and practical items, not cosmetic carbon-fiber pieces just for looks. What accessories have owners found genuinely worthwhile, especially for luggage, wind protection, interior protection, and longer road trips?

After one dusty overnight, I’d prioritize door-sill film, a fitted cabin cover, and a compact first-aid kit; buy used OEM pieces carefully, and verify GTS fitment before ordering.

For the 296 GTS, I’d spend the money on fit-specific items rather than generic supercar accessories:

Luggage: the Ferrari 296 GTB/GTS Genuine Luggage Set Model-Specific Soft Cases fits the front and rear storage properly and is convenient, but it’s pricey. A custom-sized set from Sparco Travel Set 296 GTS-Compatible Soft Luggage costs less, though fit can vary, so confirm the return policy.

Wind protection: the Ferrari 296 GTS OEM Rear Wind Deflector is the one I’d prioritize for longer drives. It works better than universal mesh screens and stores neatly, but used examples still aren’t cheap.

Interior protection: WeatherTech Custom-Fit FloorLiner HP Ferrari 296 GTS is practical for shoes, dust, and wet trips. OEM mats look nicer, but I’d use the WeatherTech liners underneath for actual driving. I’d also add a quality tire inflator and compact luggage straps, keeping the total well below $5,000.

For longer trips, a compact inflator and proper tire kit are more useful than another carbon-fiber add-on. I’ve had no complaints with the Viair 88P Portable Tire Inflator 12V 120 PSI and Ferrari 296 GTS Genuine All-Weather Floor Mat Set Model-Specific Rubber Mats. Add a fitted windshield sunshade, too—the cockpit gets brutally hot in Southern California, and it protects the dash while parked.
