Important accessories?

If a person is going to buy this car from the dealer, what accessories do you think are important to get from the dealer and which ones can be bought and installed later on?

thew read the question...

I think most think you can do yourself. Bodykit and tinted windows maybe you can go through the dealer.

Most stuff are easy to get (and yes, thew, should get all of them if you could) and DIY fitting.

I want the cargo bag but $100?! You can get a fish net and make it to size

Get them to throw in the spare tire kit. Just imagine getting a blowout where you can't use the tire goo that they provide and also imagine that your cellphone is out of range. The spare tire kit goes for $600.

Also, even if you think that the goo is good, think again, once the tire goo has been used in a tire, it aparently damages the tire and you end up having to replace it.

I not a very handy person, but I can do very simple DIY things.

I guess my question is...

Is the appearance package a total ripoff from the dealer (ie. grossly overpriced)?

Are the items that are included with the appearance package easy to install?

Am I better off to do it myself and save some money in the process?

It's best to get as much as you can on the car when you purchase it. They rape you on the aftermarket prices. $200 for fender strakes! Finance as much as you can into the purchase price.
