Headlight protectors are largely useless these days since pretty much
everything has polycarbonate(?) lenses. Personally I think bonnet protector
and mudflaps are a must (provided the mudflaps are big enough to actually do
something, and you're likely to drive on anything but clean sealed roads),
and the boot lip protector probably isnt a bad idea, depending on what
you're likely to be lugging around.
Some of the accessories look like a bit of a wank, like a $600 under bumper
protector. Bear in mind also that a lot of the accessories can be had a lot
cheaper from a third party if you don't mind fitting them yourself.
