    Be sure to buy a farkel or three for your wife!!!!! Trunk mirror, luggage liners, good comms. for example.

    Just my humble opinion now---- add-on noise enhancers should be the LAST farkel you spend big bucks on .

    I like the idea of the trunk mirror for the wife....Do you know where I can find one, or a part number? I found one one on ebay but it says for 2015 and prior and ours is a 2019.

    Thanks for your time and help!!

    Congrats on the new ride. Baby it until the break in is over, then run it like you stole it. Don't pay attention to the trolls, they're just grumpy curmudgeons that can't feel us new guys enthusiasm.

    What is missing here ?

    the people that "know" should have told you by now, that you need a REAL horn.
    Maybe put that on the top of your list.

    Consider the wife to be an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part of the Spyder. Above all else, do everything you can to NOT have to replace that. Just sayin'.
