Haha. Well, I kinda knew this was the case beforehand given I was reading up on 2016 changes where the SD card slot first went away. So I bought a bunch of these Sandisk Ultra Fit (1 year ahead of when I actually bought the car lol).
These fit flush into the USB ports without sticking out and taking up space in the armrest storage or the behind-screen area.
Samsung also has a "FIT" drive variant that fits likewise.

If you ordered a car with red stitching or red seats, I believe that also gives you red stitching on the liner.
However, you won't get yellow stitching on the roof. My yellow 3LT GS with yellow-stitching as an option only gave me dark grey stitching on the roof liner.

Very true. It's just vinyl and like you said, it is around $150-200 here for each of those (roof and stinger) to be wrapped in gloss black.

Oh well, live and learn. I wasted $395 on yellow-stitching. I'm sure several hours, a lot of patience would have gotten me the same result. I knew fully well, but I just didn't wanna take the trouble to do that much work myself for hours dying each stitch.
I believe a couple members including elegant had their stripes painted on after delivery. You could ask them how they did it and how much it was if you wish.

Does the regular GS, without the ZO7 package, come with the Michelen tires that crack in temps under 20 degrees F?
Unfortunately, I don't have a garage and will park the car outside.

The GS comes with summer tires. Just don't move the car when it's below 40 degrees outside.

The mpss shouldn't crack but it's not advisable to drive on them all winter merely because you'll not have much traction.
