    Thanks, I thought so too and the extras on the Plus package made me finally take the plunge

    alright, here's my pic, just after washing my car!
    IMG_2490.jpg

    btw, can someone give advice on the proper touch-up paint i should get for this car? my previous car was a 2003 Prius in Golden Pearl, code 057 – and one of the local Lexus dealers told me that for that car, because of its 3-stage paint, I should get two touch-ups: a base white color, and the glittery topcoat. The topcoat was code 057, the white base I don't remember – but I do remember that 057 was definitely not a "full" color in that if you put it on bare metal/plastic, it didn't have sufficient white in it.

    Sooooo…what's the proper touch-up procedure with this car? There's code 070…but is that just the glittery stuff? or everything mixed in together? Because I know this color is also a 3-stage paint…right?

    Thanks!

    Yeah, that would be cool if they came with the center caps. A dude on the forum had center cap part number from a camry or something that will work. I am going to try to find the part number.

    Check ebay and this forum. They varied from $2 each to $85 for a original set.
