Best MB accessory for C class?

So my dealer just sent me a little thank you card thing for my purchase, and included was a few coupons, one for 15% off MB accessories. So im curious, in everyone opinion, whats the best item to get with this? i know its not much off really, but id like to get something....but not sure what! I was looking at the media interface plus thing so i can play pandora, or maybe the illuminated door sills?

Chime in!

If you think you will ever carry a bike or you ski, then consider getting the roof rack (you can always add the bike/ski racks later). That will give you a $45 discount.

Yeah, the all weather mats are a good idea.

The head-rest mounted coat hanger is another great accessory that I use all the time, but don't buy it from the dealership / mbusa.com. You can buy the exact same thing from Amazon for about a third of the price ($45 vs $15). That's what I did.

My MB dealer quoted me about $250 for illuminated door sills on my old C230 2yrs ago so I'm sure its prob. more now. And that was w/o the labor. Floor mats are a good idea, though! Ask them if they'll tint your windows for a discount, too. My dealer has someone do their cars for them on the lot.

I have the MM package, so the only thing in that area i could get would be the MIP, which i like, but need to find out how much it costs first. Id love to be able to get pandora through the car, and bluetooth stream music from my phone (vs putting it in glove compartment...)

I'll be picking up a set of chrome door handle inserts this weekend or next and installing them myself. I've wanted to do this for a while now - might as well do it before the 10% on parts/accessories runs out. Will post pics once they're on.
