thanks for the informative and humorous responses. I was able to get my money back. I decided to keep the clear bra (it was already included) and decided to keep the tire and rim warranty. I got my money back on the leather and exterior paint and on the low jack. I do work in NWK but the reduction on my insurance was minimal and you guys told me about the paint and leather.
Lesson learned.... it was my first major purchase. you live and you learn.

The tire and wheel warranty is an almost no-brainer nowadays. The warranty covers all road hazard damage to wheels or tires except those cause by curb scrapes. If you live in area that the police and insurance companies have identified as high-risk for car theft, Lo Jack might be a wise investment as well. Having Lo Jack installed will likely lower your insurance premiums. The paint sealant and leather protection is a joke, as well as a waste of money, in my opinion.

Lol, I just went through the same this yesterday when I was buying my GS. I got the bra and it was a little bit more than most aftermarket places, but it allows me to have the dealer deal with any issues. Like everyone else said the paint/leather thing was/is a joke. I did get the LoJack feature, but it was only $655. I think my Finance guy really wanted to try to sell me something because I had already negotiated the clear bra with the sales rep during my offer on the car. I got the LoJack, well, just read the thread on Stolen 07 GS430 and you'll see why.

Glad to hear you got your money back on the tings you really didn't need. Seems like the thread is done now, but I will say getting the clear bra at the dealer was a mistake for me. It was the precut and the fit is awful. I just didn't think to ask them if it was pre cut or a custome wrap install...

3k huh? Try to get your money back dude if 1 -3 have not been installed yet. 4 is a joke. I would have just bought new wheels and had an aftermarket pro do the clear bra with that money.
1. clear bra ($700-$800 MAX at an aftermarket pro)
2. low jack (not worth it in my opinion- with the new ignition system, it's pretty hard to steal these newer Lexus autos. I'm not saying it's impossible since I've seen stories about guys with Laptops doing it but it's definitely harder than a bunch of other cars out there)
3. exterior paint sealant and interior leather protection (blah, just wax and buff it- you'll be fine)
4. tire and rims warranty. (I'd rather get diff wheels.)
