Default Just a few questions before I go buy a TC

I am not much of a do it yourself person. What options do you thing are must have's from the dealer. Here is what I plan on getting:

Fog Lights
Ground fx kit
springs? (lowers the car a little)
Stereo with IPOD interface
Sirius Satellite radio
Rear Lip Spoiler

Anything else you'd add?

Also, the website says the accessories price doesn't include installation. Do they charge a ton more for that? Can you negotiate with them on the install cost?

ditch the fogs, lip kit is over priced... get something else... off here or something... springs... over priced.... check out tein springs.... htechs and stechs... you can get a better head unit for less.... maybe the sirius... if you want to pay for it.. and rear lip if you like it... doesnt do anything but look ok.... it's pure pricing... you cant negotiate... you might be able to negotiate a free keychain and wheel locks if anything.

def get the all weather mats.... 150 + tax... at dealer.... 80 shipped on ebay....

all you listed are priced at sticker. since its pure pricing , you wouldnt be able to bargain at all. only good thing about it is that you can finance it IF you dont have cash to buy it.

Just make sure you keep track of the final $$$$, because you might be better off with a different car.

the only accessory that you have in mind that doesnt have an installed price was the springs.
the ground effects and spoiler come factory painted and the price reflect installation as well and 995 for a 4 piece ground effects kit painted and installed in not a bad deal. and dont forget everything is also covered by your warrenty!!!

TRD springs should cost no more than $399, installed ($199 parts, $200 labor), as that's what the dealer charged me. No idea on the remainder of your list, as I don't have nor care for those items.

Yeah...go for it all, if that's what you like. Being able to finance the parts in and the warranty are pluses, too.
If you are thinking of things like cold air intake or door sill plates, those are easy enough to do yourself.
