Cool, thanks for the explanation.

I do have another question... On my car when I bought it, the rain wiper sensor above the rear view mirror was actually unplugged and the unit itself was actually stored away in the armrest compartment. Is this something I should take to the dealer or can I simply use some super glue or something to stick it back on?

There are still the glue marks outlining where it originally was stuck on there on the windshield...

Not sure as I've never had this problem. But I would suggest that you try plugging in it in and temporarily fixing it to the windshield (with some duct tape or something). Then, leave the wipers in auto and pour some water on your windshield. If they start wiping then everything should be fine and you just need to reglue it (though I would suggest having a professional do it). Otherwise the sensor might be broken.

I've seen quite few online, but not many in person. Most 430s I see are in silver, black or white. Post some pics when you get the chance!

Here ya go, fresh from getting washed! I'm still sitting on stock rims, which is okay for me but I think I will tint the windows soon.
Sorry the other pics are too big I need to resize them.

Picked mine up in December and love it so far. Just got my wheels and tires in this past week. I cleaned the car up this weekend and here are a few pics:
