    Besides ordering the #4 package, what else is recommended by current '05 users? I was considering mud flaps, better tires, and a magnetic drain plug. Any suggestions?

    better tires, for sure. we're using up the oem ones and changing to a better brand.

    mudflaps are also a good idea, especially if your car is a color that shows dirt easily.

    we also put on a rear bumper protector, since we knew we would be putting a lot of things in and out of the hatch.

    paint protection, such as clearbra or the toyota mask is good for keeping road debris chips away.

    magnetic drain plug, i don't think is necessary. the oilpan has a magnet built into it. however, some people like to put them in anyway.

    Seat covers are good. Just be sure to get ones that will work with the side airbags. Like galaxee, I have the GT seat covers.

    You may want to get floor mats, either the ones offered by Toyota or aftermarket. I have both.

    I also have the Wheelskin steering wheel cover and the Dashtopper, well, dash cover.
