Question to those who have ordered an '11 S-class

This question is going to those who have ordered a 2011 S550 ... were illuminated door sills available when you ordered the car? My dealer advised me that they weren't (maybe because it's a designo car?), but I remember seeing them online when you "build my MB" ...

Can anybody shed some light on this? If I order them after the fact, how much are they in the parts department?

Attached are some pics of the new car, that just grounded at the dealer yesterday. Sorry for the blurry pics, my friend at the dealer took it with a camera phone.

Enjoy!

Nice car, but holy ****, I almost fainted at seeing the sticker price!!!!
My car is not Designo, but I have Designo Graphite paint. I also do have the illuminated door sills, from the factory.

As far as I know, they are normally available as a port-installed option or from the dealer. Perhaps the designo requires something different. Beautiful car!
