I like these ideas a lot, and they are probably weight neutral.

I would do the door/alarm thing, but not the others.

Remote start wastes fuel. I would skip it totally As for other things, I think the best idea not on your list is an aux line input that enables your cellphone or your mp3 player to play through your car speakers. I put in one, mainly to eliminate the CD player, which was a bigger power draw and 7lbs in weight.

After that, how about new paint? The car will feel more "luxurious" when it looks sharp.

But in general, I'm in agreement with whoever said that cheap and reliable *is* luxury in a car.

I live off the south shore of lake erie directly on the lake, it gets cold, its not uncommon for it to get to -15 for a week at a time or 0 degrees for a couple weeks during the winter, Also about the mirrors, i put on a panoramic view mirror from walmart, and I tore off the side mirrors for aerodynamics and added one internal $2 mirror from meijer instead :3
