Question $500 to spend...what should I get??

So here's my dilemma. I have $500 to use for anything Toyota service, parts or accessories. I have a 2014 Limited. I have no idea what to get. Didn't realize it would be this hard. I already have running boards, mud guards, floor mats. What would you do??

If you're keeping the stock wheels I'd get 1.25" Spidertraxx spacers.

They make it looks way better, and take away the "fat chick in tight pants" look.

Block heater. Think it's $400. Get an oil change with the rest.

rain guards for the windows?

front window tint?

trailer hitch?

alarm system?

remote entry?

bull bar from factory?

I think those all fall just in or out of 500...

TRD intake + something, something? (i'm assuming the new smog pump gobbledygook hasn't mucked up intake fitment in the newer models.)

no regrets on my TRD, but cue the CAI detractors in 3... 2... 1...

WeatherTech floor mats and cargo liner. Unless you're going to leave it in the garage for the whole winter....

Can you spend it piecemeal?

Is there an expiration date?

If I had $500 in Toyota Bucks, it'd go towards TRD wheels.

I already have window tints, cargo mat and floor mats. I wanted to get a CAI, but Toyota does not have one for 2014. There is no expiration date.

Are spacers safe? I love the idea to get the wheels pushed out a bit. I don't have any experience with them? Does Toyota sell them?

If I had $500 for the 4R, it would be for a truckfridge.

Doubtful. So is this $500 only for use at the dealer? As in Toyota bucks? Stereo upgrade for XM/Sirius if you don't already have it?

In Chicago, block heater isn't a bad suggestion as stated.

I guess the question is what do they have to offer? Just Toyota upgrades or have the got a slew of third party aftermarket stuff.

Alarm upgrades are nice. Have kids? good ole boob tubes to keep them occupied.

The cold air intake would be sweet if you can get a hold of the TRD cat back exhaust, else I wouldn't spend the money, the two go hand in hand.

As someone else already mentioned I would consider 17" wheels if they would give you some trade allowance for what is already there, the 20"s rubber is few and fair between and much more expensive per tire.

LOL that's the problem, if you can call it that, with a fully loaded rig

Of course, since it doesn't expire, you could always save it for incremental service after your second year "complimentary" service is up.

where the heck do you get $400 for a block heater install?

its like $80 for the heater and at most $130-190 for an install unless they are charging $150/hr.
