QUESTION1: grep only exact string. QUESTION2: find and replace only exact value with sed

QUESTION1:
How do you grep only an exact string. I am using Solaris10 and do not have any GNU products installed.

Contents of car.txt

CAR1_KEY0
CAR1_KEY1
CAR2_KEY0
CAR2_KEY1
CAR1_KEY10

CURRENT COMMAND LINE: WHERE VARIABLE CAR_NUMBER=1 AND KEY_NUMBER=1

grep ^CAR$CAR_NUMBER"_KEY"$KEY_NUMBER car.txt

OUTPUT:
CAR1_KEY1
CAR1_KEY10

OUTPUT WANTED (HOW DO I ONLY GET THIS):
CAR1_KEY1


QUESTION2:
I have a similar problem with sed (find and replace) using the same input file car.txt.

COMMAND LINE: WHERE VARIABLE CAR_VALUE=1000
sed 's/^CAR'$CAR_NUMBER'_KEY'$KEY_NUMBER'.*/CAR'$CAR_NUMBER'_KEY'$KEY_NUMBER' '$CAR_VALUE'/1' car.txt > new_car.txt

OUTPUT:
CAR1_KEY0
CAR1_KEY1 1000
CAR2_KEY0
CAR2_KEY1
CAR1_KEY1 1000

OUTPUT WANTED (HOW DO I ONLY GET THIS):
CAR1_KEY0
CAR1_KEY1 1000
CAR2_KEY0
CAR2_KEY1
CAR1_KEY10

assetutil [-ViotshMgpT] inputfile DESCRIPTION
assetutil processes a .car file generated from a image catalog removing requested scale factors, device idioms, subtypes, performance and memory classes. When thinning scale, idiom, subtype, performance, memory, and graphicsclassfallbacks can be given multiple times, the result- ing file will contain all of the assets that match all of the parameters given. If scale, idiom, subtype and graphics class are given in one set, the same parameters must all be present in the subsequent set of parmeters. (IE the count must match) A list of flags and their descriptions: -V version information for assetutil -I Produce a JSON description of the asset catalog object with the given name to --output directory if given or to stdout if no output path given. If no name is provided, report on the contents of the entire car file. -i Keep all assets that have idiom that is given on the command line. -s Keep all assets that have scale factor that is given on the command line, present scale factors will not be removed if there is no fallback available. -p Keep all assets that have the display gamut that is given on the command line, present display gamuts will not be removed if there is no fall back avaliable. -M Keep all assets that have memory class that is given on the command line, present memory class will not be removed if there is no fallback available. -g Keep all assets that have graphics class that is given on the command line. The present graphics class will not be removed if there is no fallback available. -h process the hosted idioms list, this is a list of the idioms that must always be preserved in the car file.
