Which Accessories should I get?

atrejo · 03-21-2007, 10:40 AM

My dealer is giving me $700 in accessories of my choosing for all the inconveniences I've had to deal with. Was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what the top picks are?
So far I want splash guards, wind screen and wheel locks. That still leaves a few hundred left to spend.
I was thinking of getting the saturn trunk storage bag too?
Anyone know what the license plate frames (black w/ logo, polished or black with no logo) look like?
What is an air intake? Thats on the list and will use of most of the amount left?
Anyone have a tonneau cover? does it fit with the wind restrictor?

Thats really nice of them to give away that much doe for your troubles, never heard of that before. As to what to get, I would suggest the splash guards, CAI-(cold air intake) do a search on the forum , many threads on the CAI, go for the wheel locks and locking gas cap. I would stay away from the OEM wind restrictor and the tonneau cover mainly because their versions drill holes into the Sky--

not for me--Ah, if any money left over, go for the travel storage bags, what the heck--Bottom line tho, get what you really want and do your homework, that way you will have no regrets--Congrats BTW on the $700 windfall--

The all-weather floormats should definitely be on your list.

That would be how I spent my $$

Talk about discrimination..................

If I looked like her, maybe I'd get some extras.

Seriously, I would have them pay for a ventureshield to protect the paint. Especially, with the sun and sand.

I would not go with the factory windscreen or Tonneau cover. Both require HOLES to be drilled in your car.

Better aftermarket windscreens are available. The Tonneau Cover as designed is too impractical. (I bought one and decided not to install it after looking at it.)

Go with the Cold Air Intake. A nice gizmo comparable to the aftermarket items.

That would be my advice.

jnag, thanks for the compliment..i think, lol.
Trust me, it hasn't been easy dealing with all this, I also got the Saturn Service Plan thrown in.

Wish I could have just gotten the cash and put it towards a nav system, but oh well. I read about the air intake and the reviews seemed mixed on here so I just got a bunch of the other accessories. Got the splash guards, wheel locks, wind restrictor (actually saw it on a sky today and i liked the look), locking gas cap, rubber mats, nitrogen in the tires, one other thing too but I don't remember now.

how about using that 700 for oilchanges and other routine service? if I were you, that's what I'd pick. Accessories I like to think about and consider different options, not be put on the spot and given a deadline when to choose.

atrejo · 03-21-2007, 07:51 PM

I got the Saturn Service Plan too on top of the accessoris, it includes oil changes/tire rotations and some other things as well for 3yrs/36,000....

hmmmm........haha, in that case......

I'd suggest a set of all weather rubber mats, a SECOND pair of regular mats (accidents can happen, be prepared) Mudguards, wheel locks, perhaps some matching fitted sky luggage, maybe the car cover NOT the tonneau cover.

How about Car care products like car washes, detailings, waxes, leather treatments, etc. Or stuff you can buy and do yourself at home.

Definite...and pick a nice etching...

I think the billet grill really makes the chrome on the rest of the car stand out. Anything chrome makes the whole car look more awesome, in my opinion.
