There are a lot of cobbled up LEs and CEs that have Enkei alloys, Katzkin leather seats and other aftermarket goodies on the vehicles before they are shipped to the dealers. This can be a nightmare after a few years or if you move above the ALabama state line, where the cars come directly to the dealers from the factory.
It's aftermarket and not OEM (original esuipment Manufacturer) equipment, so some of us outside the distributors sales area don't get the same "port installed" upgrades you guys are sold. We also aren't forced into paying for the $700 Toyogard plus paint and fabric sealant packages the distributor puts on the vehicles and the "factory" window stickers either.

You see the window sticker says
Total From Manafacturer's Label
Distributors Installed Options
So the distributor added these (see quote above)
