That is why you go tell the dealer exactly what you want. Every FRS my girlfriend looked at *most were already sold or pending sale* had the BeSpoke system, nitro in the tires, rust proof.. you get the idea.

When we ordered hers we told them to leave all that crap off of it.. even got them to take out the BeSpoke and put the base HU in, which saved about $900 off the final price.

Same thing for my Tundra.. No way I am paying $1000 for OEM side rails when I can get BETTER rails for less than half that price.

All those dealer add-ons? Tell them to take em off

Don't pay for Nitrogen in your tires from the dealer. Nitrogen in your tires a groovy thing, especially for cars with TPMS sensors. Nitrogen is a larger molecule and is less prone to escaping from the tire and as it's a "drier" gas it expands and contracts less than (not much less) than "air" and much more consistently so.

You can go to most discount tire places and ask for Nitrogen. I also ordered dual valve stem wheels for the race car for purposes of purging air and filling with Nitrogen. I like racing on Nitrogen and it's cheap. It's the 4th most abundant gas in the universe after all.

So yeah.. Nitrogen good but nitrogen as a "add-on" at the dealer... not good.

They are still selling them for the original MSRP around here.

Yeah I was called and informed that 2 had arrived at the dealership but they told me they were 31k because of "beautiful" wheels that they put in.
