very hard call.

Right now it would be very close between my Ice Link for the iPod and the Helix short shifter.

Let's see if that is different once I get my Helix 15% on....

Damn, SpiderX, with all the stuff you have on your car you still don't have a parcel shelf??! $75 shipped (to the west coast) from Classic.

To answer the original question (which is akin to asking "would you rather have someone chop off your arm or your leg...) I'd say the Auto-up/DSC module, but the parcel shelf is close. Oh, and the Aux-in. And the boot box. And a CAI. And a GBO (aka glovebox tidy.) And the matt extender...

Well, the Euro Parcel Shelf is no more according to a post in the Vendor's Threads.

But even before that, I would (and am) install the M7 Strut Tower reinforcement plates. Mushrooming is preventable.

Yes it does, which is why I'll never have one.

another ipod adapter/aux input vote here.
Cant live without having access to my entire
music collection. Especially for long drives.
And I'm definitely not carrying around a crapload of cd's.

Nope. You'll actually have more legroom with the shelf than the useless POS.
