IMO half that stuff is very overrated....I pretty much got most of that stuff

I'm guessing your not getting the Navi?

I would cut some of that stuff and get the Navi
plus you can always add that stuff later...

I would go with
Navi
19" wheels
auto mirror
weather floor mats

but thats just IMO :)

If you're going to tint your back 3 windows, auto mirror is not necessary IMO. Bluetooth handsfree at $360+install is way too expensive and the money would be better spent on an OEM navi.

Agree on the OEM navi. You should put the Bluetooth money towards that. As far as the other stuff, I'm not very technically inclined so I think it is worth it to spend the extra money to have everything installed professionally. The few things you could probably DIY are definitely the side moldings (they just stick on with a template), trunk tray, bumper applique, and possibly the day/night mirror. The other stuff you listed I wouldn't even attempt DIY, but that's just me.

As far as necessity, I think the Remote Engine Starter system and Back Up Sensors are a big waste of money. Ask yourself, would you miss them if you didn't get them installed? I doubt it.

The other stuff, such as spoilers, wheels, and suspension are mainly for looks, and that's just up to you. I love the way the car looks with the spoilers installed, and love the way the HFP wheels look as well. The only thing I personally wouldn't spend the money on is the suspension. 1" isn't a big deal to me, especially when it's going to cost upwards of over $800.
