i know certain things come standard on vehicles, and sometimes i'm sure we wish they didn't. here are mine... what are some of yours?

interior = leather seats

exterior = splash guards

interior = navigation

exterior = front bug/stone guard thing (usually black plastic, goes on front of hood)

interior = sunroof/moonroof: My car has one but I hardly ever use it. Maybe if I had a sunroof deflector I might use it more?

exterior = factory upgraded/plus-sized wheels/tires. I hardly ever like the look of OEM wheels, and for the extra cost I would rather get aftermarket wheels. Bigger selection and cheaper! The only reason I'd upgrade from the factory was if it was part of another package that I wanted/needed and I had no choice but to pick it.

exterior - dealer stickers and running boards.

interior: tan and silver interiors are the devil. and goofy auto transmission sticks that have you move all over the place, rather than a nice linear setup.

navigation? are you crazy? sat navi is one of the coolest thing especially if its a decent big screen unit. i love it. technology ! plug me in

interior - non retractable rear seat arm rest dividers - a la honda prelude. unbeleivably bad idea for many reasons that i wont go into here

exterior - HID lights. like driving into full beams. dont believe the hype just save your money and drive around with your full beams on - same

Not a big fan of ground effects. Sometimes you go up to the sport or luxury model and they slap on the ground effects standard, and you find yourself thinking well that actually makes it look a lot worse

Never liked sunroofs.

Interior = cup holders (compared to the rest of the car they are poorly designed)

Exterior = Gotta pass here. Perfect exterior.

I can do w/o:

Interior:

Navigation. I would never pay up to $2K for this option -- when I can still read a Rand McNally for $5. Yahoo Maps and Mapquest = FREE. (PS -- I don't have an ipod or Sat Radio either

)

Auto Temp Control: I've never had it, but have been in cars with it. I'd rather be in control -- and run my AC or Heat only when necessary.

If we are talking "aftermarket accessories, my list is very long

Interior: satellite navigation- Why would you pay an extra $2000 for this when you can get a garmin for around $300, plus you can take it with you when move to another car.

Exterior: I have had sunroofs on several of my cars and have never used them. if it wasn't part of the overall package I would never order one.

SoCalR · 02-11-08, 12:33

Interior: Nothing, I'm happy with it

Exterior: My stupid little headlight wipers.

Danase · 02-11-08, 12:51

Interior: Navigation (I get to where I need to on my own) and ash trays.

Exterior: Gaudy stick on decorative parts like on the front fenders of some Buick's and other GM cars.
