Thanks for posting these.

Wireless Charger looks fairly easy (as easy as can be expected, as it is just a "swap-out").However, I'm guessing it does not "enhance cell-phone reception" like the one in the Audi's supposedly do.

Fog Lights look hard (that's a lot of dis-assembly of a brand new car, even for the dealer's Service Department). Probably better to get those factory installed if possible.

Same goes for Welcome Lights (hard and involved).
Are Welcome Lights to same as Puddle Lights ?

Man, they sure put a lot of effort into these documents. I can't help to think that all that money could have just been spent to either pre-install the required wiring-harnesses (or just add the feature out-right).

Thanks for sharing. I like how the side-skirt actually replaces the entire rocker panel (it's not just tacked-on). Looks a lot cleaner and I'd probably get it if I were in the market.
It should be standard on the Type S.

Which are you actually buying?

Of all these accessory options, what is being purchased and enjoyed? Here is the list I believe makes sense for me. Splash guards

Welcome lights

Wheel locks

Illuminated door sill trim

Premium carpet floor mats

Protective film for door handles

Thoughts?

This list was very helpful when it came to looking at the dealer to install any of these when purchasing. A few dealers around me always added the "splash guards" to their TLX cars for sale. When they over inflated the prices for these based on "installation costs" you could show them the times listed and call BS. Also when I wanted the decklid spoiler as part of my deal, already knew the cost and time it should take to install. Very helpful, thanks!

Has anyone seen the Welcome Lights in the wild? I am leaning towards them as an option, but agree that NVH impacts from taking all of those parts off the car and reinstalling them might not happen perfectly.

Are they impressive? Or do they detract from the puddle lights on the side mirrors? Thank you!
