But you still have to pay for them.

What packages did you get on your vechile? I see the rear bumper has the back up sensors. I dont see them on the front. I thought they were on both bumpers only if you got the parking assist option? Did you get that option? Why cant i see it on the front bumper?

Hard for me to see but i did assume if the backs where there the fronts had to be. So was this a special order vechile? Or did it coem over here with that. I havent seen any of them with park assist here. He does have navi, but no HIDS, mem seats, wood interior, illumated door sills, rear window shade but yet has park assist. Weird.

I know it was a stand alone option. 500.00. Im just curious why would someone want it with a back up camera, or why someone would wait so long to order a park assist option, or why get that insted or HID,s mem seats or other more usefull options first then park assist. That car could have been had without ordering it except the park assist.

I could've gotten the 18's, but I opted not to pay the extra 720 for that line-option since I'm upgrading.

I'm considered an ****-hole when it comes to that sort of thing. It will most definitely stay clean. I make the kids and wife get in and out without touching anything but the carpet and the ground as to not scuff the door plates. I'm the same with touching surfaces in the car. I carry a microfiber cloth to wipe down the touch-screen after every use. The same for the shift ****, etc.
It's sort of a disorder
I'm the same for my GS and Supra.

Got the test wheel from CCW today. 19x10 with 275's. They protrude by .25", minimal. the wheel's hub surface was way higher than necessary, though. Spoke with the CCW owner and based on my pics and measurments, he can shave the hub flat, pulling the spokes in by more than 2", and pull the wheel in by only 5". This will give me the perfect stance and more than a 3" lip!
The rim he sent was an SP18, I'm getting the Sp16A. Nevertheless, here's a photochop of the car with the SP18s that he sent:
