Default Worth it?

Are there any accessories that you have or think are overpriced straight from Scion?

Ground effects - $995
Look good, a change but nothing dramatic

Fog lights - $400
Work and lights add up to this?



I think the rear "spoiler" is overpriced. I really like, you know, a subtle flow in a spoiler but this was maybe too subtle. And i'm definately not a fan of the Formula 1 wings you see on those annoying Honda's all over town......

I don't know here, man. I liked the ground effects, and I'm def not a ricer boy fan, but since I'm in school and ____, I'm realistically happy just making my payments on time on this ride for the past 4 months. If you have the cash to throw down for the parts, I say do that, along with a lil upgrade in sounds, and you have one nice ride there. Just weigh the pros and cons, and make sure it's worth it. And yes, for the price (I forget the exact amount, but it was too high for that lil thing), it's a rip, don't get the spoiler, if you want that sort of thing, check into aftermarket alternatives.

The spoiler works out to about 300.00 extra. If you are making payments, it's less than a dollar difference per month. The aftermarket rims are where they really rip buyers off.

Lets see-

$300, at less than a dollar a month- did you get a 300 month car loan?- That's 25 years!
