It sucks and I'd be disappointed as well if this happened to my build but at the end of the day since you already took delivery of the car there isn't much that can be done other than to live with it, foot the bill for a retrofit, or with used car values staying fairly high right now you can order a new car and trade this one in (or sell privately). Hell, ordering a new one and selling the current one you may lose less that way than you would trying to retrofit.

Isn't the used car market hot right now? Try to sell the car and see if you get almost the same amount back. Even if it's $1k or $2k below what you paid, it's still better than dishing out $10k.
