What options/accessories do you recommend?

I haven't this topic discussed but what factory/dealer options/accessories do you guys recommend and like? I know that the mud flaps are a big no no because they scratch the paint. But what about the other stuff? Anything really beneficial or must have? I convinced my dealer to give them to me "at cost".

Thanks for reading.

I've got the weather mats, and they are amazing. Even if you don't get the official Acura mats, you should get a nice set to cover and/or replace the cloth mats. Best investment.

As for the trunk tray, it is also very useful, especially if you often carry things such as groceries, plants, etc.

They clean easily and don't fade or tarnish. What more could you ask for?

I've got the mudflaps and trunk tray. The Trunk Tray is huge. Since I'm cheap and did not want the look of 4 all-weather mats in the TSX, I bought just a front set (black to match my interior) and did a little bit of trimming to fit the driverside. I usually don't carry passengers so I really only need the driver side one. Very happy so far with my setup

I am taking delivery of my TSX in a few days. I only got the wheel locks. I took a look at the trunk tray and it just didn't seem that useful. I figure my Accord is almost 10 years old and my truck is very clean with little maintenance. I suppose if you move a lot of dirty things, like potted plants or a mountain bike back there it might be helpful, but all I ever carry is groceries, my laptop bag, and occasionally a suitcase.

I am surprised at how many like the all-weather mats. I personally think they detract from the look of the car, but I guess I should take another look.

all weather mats and trunk tray are worth it, imo. esp if you can haggle them to install at no cost.

If you are one of those people who are concerned about keeping your car as clean and "new looking" as possible, for as long as possible, get the all season floor mats and the trunk tray.

1. They look good and are high quality. They aren't cheap or cheesy looking.
2. They've got nice channels that mud/water/sand fits into to keep it off the carpet.
3. When they get dirty, you can take them out, and hose and scrub them down.

It really depends where you live. If you live anywhere where sand and salt gets put onto the roadways by the ton, the all season mats are a no-brainer. They keep your carpet clean. I'm not sure about you but I think it sucks when floormats in a new car get stained and matted down from your heel being on the floor or from just being constantly wet and dirty. The all season mats can be brought back to 100% every time just by removing them and cleaning them.

The only thing I find with mine, at least on the driver's side, is that I find it to be a major hassle to get the hooks through those two little holes at the back of the mat, just under the front of the driver's seat. Anyone else have this problem? I just leave it unhooked, and I find that the mat doesn't move around (which is good).

I agree with all of the above. The all-season mats are great. I used to be really paranoid about getting in the car with dirty shoes, now it can be easily cleaned. I also don't have to worry about my heel wearing through the carpet.

Plus the black all-season mats match great with the two-tone (black upper dash, quartz lower) in the quartz interior. Only thing is that it now makes me really want to get some aluminum pedals (but that's a different matter).
