Yeah, my "big" chip was something like 6-8" behind the vent; based on the xpel patterns I looked at, I think it would have been JUST past a "partial" install. I'm having the chip filled and the entire hood covered, since I plan to drive this car a lot. Regarding the repair, a quality detailer...

Quality films nowadays typically have self-healing polymer top layers that significantly extend the effective life of the film. Also, unless you have a hook-up, repainting damaged panels will generally cost more than replacing the film. Covering the front bumper, hood, and front fenders should...

Oh, and if you plan to drive the car with any regularity, I would recommend getting PPF installed ASAP; the paint on these cars is PAPER thin. Even after taping up a lot of the front end with Trakk Tape, I managed to get a sizeable chip in the center of the hood on my ~640 mile drive home...

Things are rough around here for those of us that aren't Ford fanboys. Glad to see things worked out for you, hope you enjoy her!

He's been sharing leads on here for a while. Don't be a shitter.

Please keep this on the down-low, as I don't want to get anybody in hot water, but a good friend of mine from college is the owner's son-in-law, so I got the car at MSRP. I didn't want to ask and make things awkward, but I think they sold their 2016 allocations with ADMs...

Haha, I don't know what Ford dealers are usually like (this is my first American car), but they struck me as being very... old-school, for lack of a better way to put it; I felt kinda out-of-place. Very friendly staff, though.

Was about to ask what you meant by the "exit" question, but saw that you deleted it, haha. Mileage was indeed after I got home (at like 4:30 AM); I didn't think to take a "before" picture, but I think the car had around 8-10 miles when I picked it up.

Flew out to New Jersey and drove her back to Northern Kentucky yesterday. Pictures definitely do not do Lightning Blue justice.

That color combination is... different. In terms of rarity, it might actually be a 1-of-1 car, haha.

Since I don't think there are many stripe-less cars running around, here's a shot of my car sitting in the garage at my dealer.

I'm not sure if it was on the same car, but when I called in to track the train car on Tuesday night, it said that it had been unloaded and was empty.

Whelp, apparently my car was delivered this afternoon, a good week+ ahead of schedule. I'd be willing to bet yours isn't far behind, James.

There sure are a lot of mature posts from people in this thread...

I'm sorry, but you are overestimating the effects of the minor suspension differences and underestimating the effects of the tires. Putting the R's wheels and tires will not fully close the performance gap between the Track Pack GT350 and the R (and I doubt anybody is seriously saying that)...

Bell Ford in Colonia. A bit of a trek from Northern Kentucky, but it's owned by a good friend's in-laws, haha.

He meant 3 weeks from being built in Munich to being delivered to the dealer in the US; I'm pretty sure the Atlantic Ocean is bigger than the US, haha. Granted, I'm sure that only applies to east coast dealers; I'm sure deliver to the west coast takes longer.

Depends on where you're located and how long it takes to fill up the rail car. If you were lucky and got onto one of the rail cars loaded this week, you should see the car within a couple weeks. Otherwise, you will likely have to wait a few additional weeks for the next rail car to fill up and...

I bet my car is on there with yours; it was loaded today and heading to a dealer in NJ. Mind sharing the rail car number? (PM is fine)

TIL some people consider the S197 to be "light" at 3600+ lb...
