Appearance Package and Nitrofill

When you guy bought your cars, did anybody have a dealer added sticker that said " Appearance Package and Nitrofill"? I had that on my car, I told them I was taking the car but not paying an extra 700.00 for whatever they added. I know what nirtro fill is, but what is the appearance package? I have no spoiler and I just added my own splashguards, is there something I am missing here? Or is this some bs to con the consumer out of more money for nothing?

Nitrogen filled tires is one of the listed items, I've never heard of a real benefit for a daily driver car. Maybe track cars would see a difference?

My car had that as well, I didn't pay for it, I told them to let the air out and put the free stuff in and eat the 700 bucks since the guy couldn't tell me what else it had...they knocked it off the price, I do have trick green billet stem caps that have a big N on them...

When a tire is filled with nitrogen, the air pressure of the tire won't change along with the weather conditions.

NEVER heard of such a package. Does it have tint? Perhaps it's pinstriping?

i called my salesman and he told me it is for pin stripping, which i dont have. He told me to come in and get it, I asked if I can just get an accessories such as a discount on a spoiler or something instead, he is getting back to me. Wishful thinking I know, but never hurts to ask.

LOL nitrogen defies the laws of physics.

PS Skiptomywu, the air you breath is 80% nitrogen. Someone slept through 5th grade science.
