Default How to spend $500 Jaguar certificate

As compensation for two major "inconveniences" with my 2011 XJL, I have been given two $250 certificates that are good towards service or accessories. Since I have the Jaguar Extended Warranty with $0 deductible, I hope I do not have any need to pay for anything other than routine maintenance. The oil was just changed and the wipers were replaced.

I already have chrome mirrors and illuminated sills. Does anyone have any suggestions on other accessories that are available?

I have been considering updating my navigation, but the dealerships I've called want to install it and charge around $100. ($300 total) Although I have been given these certificates, I don't want to "pay" them $100 for something I can do myself. Does anyone know a dealership that will sell just the USB stick without having to pay for installation?

Any other suggestions on how to spend this $$?
Thanks.

To me updating the GPS is a waste of money because it is still a horrible system afterward. I think some of the other posters suggestions are worth considering. I have the splash shields front and rear and they work great.

The aluminum gearshift paddles are about 500 dollars or you can get the leather clad gear selector. Both can be self installed.

I am not sure how the F-Type Aluminum Shifters work but these are exactly the same as the plastic ones except the + and - do not glow are night and they are metal.
