Default After Sale Add On Options

Some manufacturers have their options as kits that can be added at a later date if the vehicle didn't originally come with that option. Does anyone know of any OEM options that can be added on after the sale? An example would be the cornering lights or heads up display.

Most of the options that can be added on after the sale, and installed by the dealer are things like, trailer hitch, floor/cargo mats, remote start, Rust/fabric coatings, tinted windows, paint protective film, body side molding, wheels, and probably a few more along this line....

As for installing HUD and cornering lamps, roof rails, etc. I bet a dealer would install anything, but it would come at a huge price. In another thread someone asked about roof rails and I priced it for them, cost was unbelievable, more than $2500.

No shortage of aftermarket heads-up displays.

Here is one that looked pretty interesting....

Really? $2500 for roof rails?! There are already pre-drilled holes for the missing horizontal pieces. It seems like a no brainer. Our RX should be pre-wired for most options, but I'm more of a DIY person vs. taking my vehicle to a dealer & paying high labor rates. I'm not after anything in particular, just exploring to see what could be available.

Here is the info I got for someone that purchase a base RX with no roof rails. They were looking to add them after but the cost was so out of wack they purchase a trailer hitch instead. Of course I didn't think you were looking for roof rails.

I'm similar to you, I would rather add my own things than take it to the dealer.

Side rails...

Left 63470-0E180
Right 63460-0E180

Cushions

Right front 63486-0E080
Left Front 63487-0E070
Right rear 63488-0E080
Left rear 63489-0E070

Then you need 6 seals 63437-0E0760
And 6 nuts 90178-08003

This is going to cost a small fortune and they need to remove the headliner.

Default Illuminated Door Sills

You can add illuminated door sills. It is pre-wired. About 20 min job and discounts online can be found. Look at EBAY.

I was reading the reviews of this Navdy product on Amazon. It looks like people are having difficulty getting customer service, and the company may be going through bankruptcy proceedings. Looks like a cool product though.
