Angry Help

I just picked up the FRS 10 here in Canada. It did not come with the Solar-powered illuminated shift knob. What a rip, they just told me the Canadian 10's do not come with the Solar-powered illuminated shift knob. (*%%&^)

Does anyone know where I can purchase one without paying the Dealership mark up?

Screw the solar powered knob lol, look at the beauty of the rest of the car, the solar powered knob seems like an insulting ricer thing which the car isn't, If you have the manual transmission you can't get it. Auto of course it should've come with it. I do hope those headlights become available in the aftermarket.

Edit: Oh yea they are available lol:http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1012406

I don't think illuminated shift knobs are ricey at all, the M3 had one:

I actually think it's pretty awesome if it's subtle
