Just got it, boys. Tinting it tomorrow, so I'll post a picture then. MBRP Street is already on it, and I love it. Installing the "Go Baby Go" sticker now. Just gotta relearn how to drive stick. Haven't driven a manual car in 5 years. Doesn't help that I came from a 132 HP Automatic car.
I...
Parts came in today. Too late to install today, but they'll hopefully get it done tomorrow. We shall see. Regardless, I'll be able to get the tint done on Thursday. Won't post any pics until that's done since nothing changed except my exhaust.
No need to worry about build quality, guys. It was a messed up shipment that presumably took damage in transit. They didn't realize the extent of the damage until too late. I'm not defending Ford, but the integrity of the car has in no way been diminished. Besides, most of the parts are made...
Ugh, that sucks, man. Far as I can tell, it's just based on what the nearest regional factory has on stock. Tell your salesman to check every day. Still astounded that they waited until December to tell us what the parts were, yet they didn't think to stock up the factories before we ordered.
Basically what TurboGlen said. Should be fixed early next week. Maybe Tuesday/Wednesday. They got the screw on order. Your guys' parts should be ordered soon. If your dealer hasn't already made moves on ordering the parts, I would specifically ask about the parts list and whether they can order...
To be fair, he did mention that, since it's a safety recall, they can't take parts from other cars. They have to be brand-spanking new. But... It's still a bullshit situation all around. There was absolutely no need to wait until December to be able to request these parts.
Ha right? I was like how unique is this screws that you can't just get one from a hardware store. Whatever. I told them to commit fraud if they have to (just kidding Deysha) so that I can get this car.
All right, so my dealer called me. Told me he got the parts list and ordered all the ones that are in stock. Good news is that they can order all the parts from a nearby facility that has parts on hand and usually ships to the dealer in 1-2 days. Bad news is that the facility they order from has...
Any idea on the ETA of parts? Like they're being overnighted, two day shipping, etc? It would be so nice if they got in by Monday for us peasants. Cheers though. Glad you got your parts ordered.
You're absolutely right. I just think they can satisfy safety regulations and keep us informed at the same time. It's the lack of information that throttles me. It costs them nothing to just give us a realistic date.
Ha good advice but too late, man. Bought the steering wheel from Levittown and they said they would ship January 1st. Thought about cancelling my order and getting that one, but apparently my order at Levittown is "processing". PMed him to figure out if that means it'll be shipped soon. I guess...
