OEM Packages after build ?

Can we add OEM packages/options once the vehicle is delivered ? Say the “Exterior Lighting Package” ?

any other packages that don’t have to be part of the initial build ?

PS: please don’t say chrome sill/chrome door handles/wheel locks

That depends if you are willing to pay for the options. Most options can be done, but will come at a much greater cost than doing it at the assembly line. So in your case for the "Exterior Lighting Package", if the package comes with different headlamps then you will have to pay for the two headlamps (not cheap) and the labors fees with it. From what I've seen on this forum, as long as you have the money you can get most of the options that you want.

I forgot to add the $150 metal door sill plate. Got ripped off to the tune of $475 by dealer to install one.

In general, any of the VPC installed items can be added after your purchase fairly easily. Any other options can still be done but at a much greater cost than had you optioned it from the get go.

Read about that DIY door sill plate. I figured it wasn't worth it since I was told I would be charged $175 for part plus minimal labor. Ended up at $475 including parts, labor and taxes. Simply too many other things to be concerned about now than a few hundred $$
