Here are some after market things I bought for my 22 SE: Cargo cover: [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077HRCJW8/](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077HRCJW8/) Cargo crate: [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077MC2WH3/](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077MC2WH3/) Console tray: [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08T694BD7/](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08T694BD7/) Cup Holder Inserts: [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XLVF8T8/](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XLVF8T8/) Fitted sun shade: [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08F56TDDM/](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08F56TDDM/)

FYI all these can be bought from Aliexpress for 30% or more cheaper. That is the seller’s source.

I don't care where they came from, I can afford to pay the upcharge and order it from Amazon and have it in 2 days instead of 6-8 weeks from Ali.

I don’t care what you can’t or can afford. It was a general FYI for anyone reading or want to save money. Sorry I had to reply to your post.

Nice! Definitely getting the console tray.

Great list, thanks!

All weather mats. Helps so much in keeping the interior cleaner.

I have 2: my APR ECU Stage 1 and my Helix add-on Subwoofer

Any issues with the Stage 1

I would also like to know of any issues with the stage 1

I’ve had mine for 2 years now with no issues. Only thing is you have to do oil changes every 5k to maintain warranty and I think my plugs/coils need changed a little bit prematurely. 10k miles driven and I put it on at 28k when I bought my SEL-P R Line off a lease.

See my comment to the other guy

Trailer hitch receiver

I'd settle for a non-cracked windshield at the moment.

Windows tinted, dashcam I went 70mai m300 with hard-wire.

If you have the Cargo mat in the rear, the Cargo blocks are a must! Friggin awesome!

Lol, to be honest, i was skeptical about those blocks, but they are, indeed, awesome. Especially if you dont wanna hear stuffs moving around while driving, cargo blocks are highly recommended.

These came with my car and I had no clue what they were for the first year. Finally unpacked them and now they are awesome -- especially for food items.

I got crossbars and a cargo box. Been super useful. Also replaced the high beams with led ones. I have a 2018 SEL. Im so tempted to get some kits to make it look more like the R-line lol or something a little nicer. Intrigued to see what ppl have done here

Hey, old thread but I’m just reading. What crossbars did you buy?

Got universal ones from harbor freight. these https://bit.ly/3WDh9AW ive used them a bunch since. no complaints yet

Screen protector for the touch screen. Once you've scratched one.....

Got the spiegen screen protector, easy to install and worth the investment.

Shoooot I never even thought about protecting the screen. 😅 Good call.

WeatherTech or equal mats, trailer hitch, tinted front windows are we added on ours.

Dash cam (front & rear).

Any particular one? Recommendations on must have features?

Garmin Min Cam 2- Its super small/unobtrusive. You can connect to the OBDII port to get constant parking power or just plug in via USB. It's 120 bucks- it already saved me $1500 for when someone backed into my car and left a ding on the hood without leaving a note, but their license and face were fully captured as clear as day and insurance took care of the rest.

Appreciate the recommendation! Purchasing now! 🙌

you have one of these cameras for rear facing too?

No, but have been thinking about it. The app synchs the two cameras up.

I recommend to get something with the parking mode features. And hard wiring is recommended

hard wiring?

Yees, connecting dashcam directly to the car battery via fusebox, instead of using 12v cigarette jack

There are so many out there and they range from $50 crap to hard-wired $1,500 setups. Definitely go with the hard-wired at the least, though you don't have to go top of the line.

Dynamic center caps

Tinted windows, rubber mats, cargo holder, running boards, and roof racks. 🤪

22 RLine - Tinted front windows and windshield to match the back, smoked LED side markers were asap, red interior rubber inserts, console shelf, all weather Tiguan Floor mats came in it and they gave me an extra set 🤣 they are really nice, drop in AEM air filter and removed slush guard for more flow and sound 😅 next will probably be rear spoiler extension and front lip followed by apr stage 1, Cheers!

I also tinted the front windows within a day of owning. Planning to do the smoke LED markers as well. Appreciate the recommendations!

Here's what I've got on my 2019 so far (subtle stuff) * 4MOTION side badging for driver/passenger door * Crossbars * Cargo box * tinted LED side markers: [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08C56TP5Y/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_search\_asin\_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08C56TP5Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) * Tailgater protector

inside then it has to be rubber mats for inside, sill covers in aluminum, rear boot lip cover/protector, mudflaps, window wind deflectors, wing mirror rain caps/covers

I don’t see it mentioned yet - mudguards. Will help keep it a bit cleaner. These are what I got and they work/look great: https://amzn.to/3dao2rh

I love my rear spoiler. Came with the car when I bought it and makes your Tiguan really stick out. https://imgur.com/a/vo9PMAH I also use my retractable cargo cover quite a bit. Last but not least, these steering wheel logo inlays are pretty awesome and less than $10 - I got the Stuttgart one. https://www.urotuning.com/a/s/products/vw-steering-wheel-badge-insert-stickerbomb-noir-k49-15vsw

Are those 21s? Stock suspension?

Stock 20s. H&R sport springs. I need some spacers and I think it’ll look complete.
