Best/Worst smart Investments

What are your Best & Worst Investments for your smart with an option to add a Worthy Mention. Keep your answers short and sweet if you can.

BEST INVESTMENT - Tie - Area 451 Cruise Control, paint that is a color different from everyone else.

WORST INVESTMENT - CHEAP armrest. Spend the extra money and get a good solid armrest, not a flimsy plastic piece-o-junk.

WORTHY MENTION - Tinted windows

BEST: Sound system/GPS upgrade. Close 2nd is the A451 Cruise control. But, I don't use it ALL the time, like I do my stereo system.

If factory options counted, my cabrio roof would be a strong contender.

WORST: Spare wheel/tire. Cost $180 and has now been superseded by a few dollars worth of Ultraseal which takes up NO cargo room. Close 2nd is my rear view camera.

Worst: the car; no car is a good investment.

Best: area451 CC and hopefully the Forge Motorsports intake pipe (we'll see after it's on.)

Best: The Smart
Worst: The baby moons i had on the car, the silly things kept getting lost on the road, so now i am back to stock hubcaps, but am looking into another set that are far better.
