Recommended Ford Dealer Accessories for the FFE?

[Olagon]

Anyone have recommendation for official Ford dealer accessories. I got a coupon for 15% off accessories from our dealer and wondered if there are any add ons that are worth it. Thanks!

I got the "exterior protection package" (otherwise known as mud guards). I like 'em.

I also got the floor mats with Focus logo, thinking they were something "more" than the normal floor mats. Turns out, they are exactly the same floor mats, but simply have a logo stitched into them (and just the two front mats have the logo at that). Wasn't worth the 85 bucks I paid.

Not an accessory, but to me the most useful upgrade is the Homelink Visor retrofit. Check out WattsUp's post on how to install.

I like the all weather mats.

Funny, there is a windshield wiper blade thread - I'd buy windshield wipers from the dealer. You'll eventually need them.

Even with a 15% discount, won't you still be paying through the nose for dealer wipers?

Seems like, if there's something more substantial that Olagon might want, that is usually hard to get other than from a dealer (unlike wipers, which you can get cheaper elsewhere), they should apply their discount to that.

All good points. Thanks. I'll look online a bit. For our Mitsubishi Outlander, the dealer offered third row mats cheaper than anything I could find on the market. And of course paint touch up that actually matches. I may at least get some matching paint as I know I'll have a chip or two over the years. My first black car :-( Only color they had.

Oh yeah! -- touch up paint would be good example of something hard to get elsewhere.

However, that said, I got some touch-up paint for my FFE from a Ford parts supplier on ebay that sells the OEM paints quite cheap.
