they had to order a couple of cosmetic parts to correct a couple of items on my soon to be new 2022 ST, Carbonized Gray Metallic, no sunroofs and no side rails, was lucky and found on with neither will post a few pictures, hope to pick up Saturday or Monday.

I know how you feel, I didn't want the sunroof or roof side rails either and got lucky and found one in the color I wanted, Atlas Blue.

Sorry I didn't update, got it 3 days before Christmas, one week later was rear ended, before they could assess the damage was T boned on driver's side one month less a day, fast forward 2 1/2 months they declared it totaled, picked up my new 23 ST the 30th of March, as I was being kicked out the rental since they totaled my 2022 ST. But now I'm a happy camper again, even if it did go up $4000 in 3 months for the new one and hate the roof rails , but I smile every time I look at it. Lol

You were right, we are twins. Same color and no roof or rails on mine either.

Smiles still here every time I drive it, even if I just go around the block with no destination in mind. Got 1254 miles on it now. Had my dealer replace my door keypad today, and of course when the shop manager left the key in the center console as I had left them, we stopped got out locked it with the keypad with the key still inside, thank goodness for the Ford app on my iPhone.
