You're exactly right about that, Steve.  I think people could have 
ordered them as spare parts, and the dealer might even have eaten the 
cost, but I don't think a 3500S left the factory with them installed. 
Spare parts are neither standard or optional items. They are replacement 
parts someone orders separately from the vehicle.
