Dealer Options worth the money?

I was looking to get the OEM bodykit and realized they were cheaper through ebay (about 900 shipped.) I attached a similar lip bodykit (on my maxima) with 3m tape and a few screws...is there anything different with the TSX?




Has anyone spent the money for the steering wheel? is it worth it?



How about the metal-look trim?

Nope, pretty much the same thing.

I saw the steering wheel options... looks nice. All I know is that the metal on the 6mt gets damn hot, would be nervous about the steering wheel too.

The metal trim for 04-05 was just a "paste" on deal. I didn't do it out of preference.

They are definitely not worth it at dealer retail price. Check on Ebay for accessories, and shop around. I got my metal trim kit for about $250, I think it was. Installed it myself. I really like the look. Also got the trunk tray and a few other things on Ebay, again well under dealership prices.

Just prep (clean), remove adhesive backing, and stick.
