The Cabrio tailgate storage has inserts for the rails so if you put a first aid kit there you will have to remove them.

3M was the manufacturer of the Cap covers that come in the exact colors of the smart. The only problem with that (as told by our German suppliers) is that they are no longer going to be making the decals for the fuel doors. The Rally Red is a 2009 color and they are not available.

We have most of the other colors in stock. We bought a bunch when we found out they were going to be going away.

Sorry....

We do have the BRABUS covers in stock and do look sharp. Pricey, but it is a BRABUS item so it will never be cheap.

Most of the other items in your post we have in stock, so if we could be of any assistance please contact us. We are also in the process of obtaining an affordable tow hitch.

Thanks!

I have an Escort Passport radar/laser detector. It wires directly with optional wire kit. It has GPS in the unit so that you can set false alerts to memory, so that it will not alert to them in the future. It detects both forward and rear, and it has incredible range! I would recommend that for the detector...

I've got a cheap $12 set that seem to do the job, but I only have a dirt/mud driveway & parking spot - I can't vouch for snow and sleet

I had a home made one then got a Smart one - the Smart one is FAR superior and VERY usable with the behind the seat stowage. Paid $135 for one when the dealer had a sale on a weekend, my other I got off eBay from a wrecked Smart - $80.

Why? There are so many other options, but if you went Brabus you might as well finish out the package

(Will use class 1 hitch with attachment, based on need)
Hitch - I got mine for a song & should be picking up my second today. Don't have golf clubs anymore, if someone sees me with a golf bag they better run . Luggage tray - if you are that dirty go to Lowe's and get some clear plastic runner material & cut to fit. Spare tire - good idea.

You could mount it on the trailer hitch.
