Well I FINALLY got a VIN!
Alot of people told me the dealer was gonna bait and switch since the price was $19,800 out the door PLUS $300.00 off a wheel package on a 2007 Prerunner SR5 Access Cab. Stadium Toyota got me the truck!
HERES MY PROBLEM: The truck they got me has alloy wheels on it already. I was supposed to get Enkie wheels but now I get thew factory alloys. This is about a $500.00 difference in the deal. I will not take the truck unless they either cut the price, or offer me parts. I know they are going to offer me parts so WHAT DO I GET?
I was thinking of the silver Toyota side step tubes to make the truck more attractive. I also need a Tounnau Cover. Another idea was Seat Covers. I could also ask for full window tinting since I live in Florida. So does anyone have any ideas as to what I can squeeze out of this deal before I sign the papers? i MIGHT PICK IT UP EVEN TODAY!
Here is my current list:
SILVER SIDE STEP TUBES
SEAT COVERS
TOUNNAU COVER
WINDOW TINTING
I never owned a pickup before and frankly, I don't know whats important and whats not. For example is a Tounnau Cover a "Must Have"?
ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Its all about what you want man, not whas popular. If you dont know exactly what to get, Id say get some stuff that you could easily sell and save the money for the exact mods you want, not just some stuff to get even with the dealer for not getting your expected wheels.
This is my first post here, but I would say that if you don't know what you want yet, make them give you a due bill so that you can think about it once you get the truck and have the work done after.
Carriage Works billet upper and lower grill, Redline Tuning hood struts, Gibson cat back exhaust, Toyo Open Country A/T 265/70/17 on Helo Maxx 6's, Toytec/OME lift.
If you've never had a truck before, I have mixed opinions on Toneau covers... if you ever carry anything taller than like 20", DONT get it. Other than that, go with what you like. I would suggest tires, tube steps, tool box, or tint...
tool boxes are great because they give you dry, lockable storage without killing your bed capacity...

I was kinda leanin towards a Tounnau since it keeps stuff dry and although I am in Florida and don't need to worry about snow or leaves in the bed, it will keep it clean. Also gas mileage gets better as well. Seems almost everyone here in Tampa with a nice truck has a tounnau.
I ALREADY purchased a hood deflector, Weathertech liners for the front, a graphics package, Zaino, and Sirius radio. These items are NECESSITIES for me since the first thing I ever do is PROTECT my vehicle with Zaino and all weather floor mats. Since I can't swing full paint protection I am buying the hood deflector to protect the paint. As for SIRIUS, well if you don't yet have SIRIUS or TIVO then your living in the DARK AGES!

I'll second for the bed mat. Its nice for keeping stuff from sliding around. Figure the cost at about $60. If they need to add up to $500 worth of stuff use invoice math, not msrp. The OEM Stainless tube steps are nice at around $400. A tonneau you can probably pick up elsewhere chepaer (like from Luke). Tinting is cheaper elsewhere too. If you want them, I'd really try for getting the wheels you agreed with put on. You know they should be able to take them off from another truck.

They simply gave me CASH!! I pick it up Friday night. I saw the truck last night and told them not to prep it. Those MORONS end up scratching the paint etc so I will drive it home wrapped in plastic.
I appreciate all the input, now I go on a spending spree.
