Default Just order from Sewell Parts - Worth It?

'14 GS 350 AWD w/lux. 11 Kmiles

All-Weather Floor Mats: 4-Piece-AWD (All-Wheel Drive) PT2063012120 $91.50
2013 GS Wiper Insert Set-2013 GS Wiper Insert Set GSWI13 $14.80
Filters: Cabin A/C Filter - Charcoal-Filter 8713930100 $37.41
Digital Tire Gauge- 7162115507 $17.85

Figured I would replace the mats for winter, although on part of me said to get a replacement set of the standard floor mats and use one set for winter the other the rest of the time.

Cabin Filter will hold until needed

Agreed, especially the all season mats. Those will come in handy. The CL discount is great, but some of SP shipping rates can be a head scratcher.

Yes, I was going to buy a touch up paint from them but shipping actually costs more than the paint itself.

For smaller items I buy it at my local dealers, but for multiple or big items, Sewell is worth it.

I got my OEM all weather mats from eBay for $114 but that's with shipping.

I was thinking I should buy the touch-up paint with this larger order. I should have. Shipping is less per item when more items are ordered. I think the mats alone was $17 shipping, with the other items it was on $20 for the entire order.

Why did you get a tire gauge? The TPM system shows you the pressure of each tire in real time as you drive.

A digital tire gauge comes in real handy when checking tire pressures and airing the tires up. You don't have to repeatedly jump in the car to check the TPM every time you make an adjustment. It's also handy to check the accuracy of the the TPM. I wouldn't be without one.

I think the on-board TPMS only works when u start rolling. So that means u have to drive around in order for it to get a reading from ur tires.

TPMS works when you are idling but there is too much of a lag. I still use the pen type tire gauge.

Everyone should try negotiating for free all weather mats with car purchase. I always do with all my cars and with 100% success rate.

LOL. I always do this as well with 100% success. I probably overpay for my cars anyway and it doesn't cost the dealer much for the all weather mats. I got a free set but gave it to my brother's 3rd gen GS as I prefer the WeatherTech mats instead.

Sometimes I wonder what else I can get. I should have asked for illuminated door sills.
