Should I consider these Dealer Accessories?

I'm getting ready to pick up my new King Aire at the end of the month and the dealer wants me to consider two accessories:

1) RESIST ALL PAINT AND INTERIOR PROTECTION. $2471.00 plus sales tax, and
2) TyronRun Flat bands. $2602.00 plus sales tax.

I'm immediately inclined to reject both products but wanted to hear from this group to see if there was any valid reason to consider these products at these prices.

    If dealer is selling (up-sell) items then it's a real good bet they are making big $$ off of these 'special' items.

    Tell dealer to throw them in as part of the deal......then watch counter offer on price of these special items come down.

    Every dealer (vehicle/rv/lawnmower etc) will try to up-sell because there is big profit in selling these add-ons.
    Rarely are the items worth it.

    I would not buy either one. The dealer mark up is probably $2000+ for each product!
