Default Dealer Voucher - ideas to spend it on the GS!

Appreciate all the valuable posts in this forum and helping others take pride in their cars!!

Have a 2013 GS with Luxury package and has BSM and IPA. The dealer gave a $800 voucher with it.
So am reaching out to you to get ideas/advice on how to spend this wisely. Given the "stealership" costs being much higher that those outside - what do you think I should get for this voucher? Here are some of my thoughts:
- Save for future Services
- Save to get extended warranty
- Buy additional parts - spoiler or remote start or something else.

Everything has its pros and cons, but I'm stuck with the voucher. Please chime in and thanks in advance

Save for future services is my best bet. Parts you can get for less through Sewell. If you want a spoiler, purchase from Sewell and use the voucher for labor.

Service.

For additional items you can always try to get the best price somewhere else.

I like the extended warranty idea... or save it for when you need new tires.

I've always hated having to buy new tires...

Service or extended warranty. Aren't the first 2 services included so it would be for the 15,000 and more

First thing I would do is get the clear bra protection on the front and the side mirrors. it costed me at the dealer $280 .. they told me 400 first but negotiated it to $280. the best investment I have ever done. 2 years now and my bumper and hood are still brand new

The audiovox rs that some dealers are now installing has bit more range than the factory rs. Both however will not allow the car to continue running once the door is opened.

Which one did you get... 3M??
$280 seems to be a very good price. Was it just a part of the hood or full?
TIA!!

+1 remote start is useless from Lexus.
