Buick Ownership
2018 Buick Regal TourX
I'm taking delivery of a 2018 TourX. I'm really excited for this car. I've been eyeing them up for about a year, and finally decided to pull the trigger on one. I plan on using it primarily for car camping, some road trips, and sporting event tailgaiting. Looking for some ideas on aftermarket accessories. Are there any suggestions that I absolutely need to make my trips and tailgates better? Thanks!
 
Welcome.

I like to have a rear bumper protector on cars.

Also, installed the Canvasback liner in the trunk.

Check out the spare tire thread.
 
A wireless Andriod Auto/Carplay adapter! Low profile rear headrests. Sunglasses case replacing driver's grab handle. Seconding the Canvasback liners.

Could you point me in the direction of the case replacing the grab handle? I've looked with no luck.

It's a part made for the Korean market Chevy Cruze. Part GM 95048934. Same color of plastic and will bolt right in to several different GM cars, including ours.
 
I happen to have one of the sunglass holders that I'm not using.
PM me

Dumb question, but how do you close the door if you don't have a grab handle? Maybe I'm missing something?
 
The car only comes with a can of fix a flat so you might want to upgrade that, especially since you plan on road trips. You won't be able to fit a full size one so you will have to go one size down.

You might also want to upgrade the cup holders. The two under the radio are pretty much unusable, which leaves just the one in the center console. That's fine when it's just me but when I'm with the wife we are fighting over it. I also picked up cup holders for the back seat for the kids because there are none back there.

Interested in your cup holder solution.

Currently my front right cup holder is used up by phone mount.
When my SO is in the car I take the front left cup holder.

For the rear passengers, one is in a booster and they have two cup holders.
The other one uses a large sports drink bottle stored in "front seat" back protector.
