and how many use their windshield washers? I don't like getting bug water down my body shell opening. I have thought for me it is really dead weight to look correct and could just yank out. I carry windex and paper towels.

another not really needed item: exhaust manifold heat riser ducting and flaps activation. sure they come on and do something but we all drive in winter? more dead weight
