Optional accessories opinions

Wondering what accessories people feel are worth it versus skip it...diffuser, accent lighting, mudguards, rocker panels, etc.

The trunk spoiler is a must for me just because I like it. 19" rims on the SR are a must for me (spoiler + rims help out on those 200mph desert runs)

All of the other things might be nice to have, but I'm on the fence.

What say you?

I am also getting the SR model and I am going to add the 19' rims, spoiler, diffuser, rocker panels, mudguards, interior lighting, external ground lighting and kick plates.

The splash guards and floor mats seem to be on all the cars. It's just a trick for lowering base price by $600. I'd rather not have the floor mats and buy Weathertechs.

The answers to this are going to be very individualized. If you were to ask me today, my order of preference would be:

1. The wood look shift ****.
2. The carpeted floor mats and trunk mat.
3. The all season floor mats.

Possibly:

4. Illuminated kick plates
5. Interior accent lighting

I'd go for the sport spoiler, rear diffuser & 19" black rims for sure. I might also add the rocker panel moldings and the interior accent lighting.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I just don't see the appeal of black rims.

My own preferences for accessories are the black sport spoiler, rear diffuser, and rocker panel moldings. All are totally must-haves. A nice touch is the exterior ground lighting and kickplates to really wow anyone right when they open the door.

I ordered mine when NISSAN offered the pre-order and get 3 years of maintenance for free - ordered my brilliant silver Platinum with the premium spoiler, mudguards, carpeted floor and trunk mats, trunk net, illuminated sills, under carriage and interior lighting. Since receiving it have added window tint, rocker panel moldings, wheel locks, and rear diffuser. Inside added the black door appliqués and wood grain shift ****. Needless to say looks great and I am done!
