FWIW, my car had a blend of 9/20 and was shown as awaiting shipment the next. Been there since then. COTUS says that can take a few days to a week. There was a pointer earlier that documented a 6hr and 20m build process - including a 10 min QA check
Thanks. I had seen this - and looked at it when placing my order but never thought page 2 (where the details are) would be the complete list. I just re-read it and it does seem complete.
I have looked all over and I can only find partial lists like on the order sheet, the web site, window stickers etc.
What I am looking for is a full definitive list of standard and optional features in some detail) for the 2017. What started me looking at this is, as I read the electronic...
I ordered mine with my car, so it is coming. My only question is: am I better off using it - the car will be in the garage all the time - except when it is being driven? I think someone once told me to put a soft sheet over the car first. My only concern is scratching the car with the Ford...
That makes sense to me. I have seen reference to a "mod shop" step. I don't know if that is for stripes only or other things. I don't have stripes but I did order the optional black roof. If that is an option that any other mustang could get, then I think you are right.
Thanks but my surprise was that the car was produced in one day. That seemed strange given what I have read in this forum. Who know, maybe they are getting faster:)
In the end I agree with you. As of today mine shows as 'produced'. It is Ruby Red and has a black room. The pictures of have seen of this combination look great. I think I will be happy with that.
Produced in a Day?????
Yesterday was the blend date for my car and when I saw that cotus was up I took a look. Sure enough, it showed that the car was in production. I figured a couple days.
Today when I looked it said awaiting shipment. I am eager to get it but it seems fast to do this...
Thanks, as I did my investigation, it appears that the mirrors are usually covered in the basic/front kits installers have - so I will probably get the done.
Thanks. My plan is to arrange to have this done just as soon as I can after I get the car from the dealer, certainly before there there are 100 or 200 miles on it. Given what I have read and seen, I will probably ask for a basic Xpel treatment of the front of the car with the new film...
Thanks very much for this. Sorry I have been a bit dense on this point. The key point here is that the installer will make the paint look as good as it can before the application of the film.
I was not clear in my original question. I don't have any strips on my car. Does that change the answer at all about putting sealant/wax down before the PPF?
Thanks
That sounds about right. I just got my weekly update from my dealer - really a nice GM that is local. The blend date is 9/20 and the order was placed in early August. My sticker generated just a couple days ago showed the higher price. I sent a note back to the dealer asking about this and...
From this, I take it that you recommend that I DO NOT wax/seal areas to be covered by PPF. I had just thought that if I made the base look good, it would look good through the film.
Thank you for the advice.
Thanks very much. I would have thought that the stones from the front tires would be directed away from the car, but can see with wider fenders they might get some. I assume that Xpel and 3M have templates for these.
I think this must have been asked but can not find the answer. How about putting wax/sealer down before the PPF? I would think that would make it look better. Is there any problem with the adhesive?
In terms of what to put down for wax/sealant, what I have seen is that the sealants do have...
I am confused, why would the quarter panel in front of the rear tire be susceptible to chips? I can see why - and have had several cars that are susceptible to chips behind the wheels - even when it is not a track car.
