What ADMs are you seeing since itās right at the end of build dates?I have not purchased the HEP R...yet.Lol. Seriously, the ADM is ridiculous right now.
Last I checked River Rock Ford In Rockford, IL had a HEP R at 10k over...
The eagle has landed! Finally got the car on Friday, in the pouring rain from the Zeta storm remnants. Then temps went into the 20ās overnight, then pouring rain on Sunday and 40-50 mph winds yesterday. Finally got the car out of the garage without hazard of flying tree limbs. Supposed to be nice later this week so Iāll hopefully break 100 miles on the odo.

So i had planned on taking off the shark fin antenna and replacing it w/ the hockey puck style, but thatās on hold because the stripes are die cut for the fin. Just an FYI for those who had the same plan:
Aside from one very small paint chip where the front fascia meets the fender, the paint overall was ok. It has more orange peel than my ā11 GT500 did, but Iām beginning to think that car was just really nice. panel fit was ok, needed to adjust hood height bumpers to take out some misalignment between hood and leading edge of fenders. One significant issue:
So the driver side fender vent was not seated correctly at the top. it looks like someone tried double sided tape but the vent must be bent or installed crooked. Dealer has ordered me a new one (on back order, go figure....). I had them try a second piece of double sided tape to tide me over until they can replace it, but it didnāt work. Iāll pull the tape off for now, since its white color only draws attention to the gap.
My thanks to corrieb for his spreadsheet! Through it, I learned that the only realistic way to get a car w no tech pack was to order it, so I got it just in time before winter hit. Still rooting for you Bigron, hope your car arrives ASAP!
Cheers!
I had a similar fender vent issue along with some panel gap issues. talking to the body shop they said they do not see many straight ones, and that a Ford engineer had recently reached out to them about the issues. The body shop here says they replace both vents on just about all the ones they get in and tape them in better, but like you said they are on back order such as mine. They also said since this is not a high production car that the fenders are not mass produced like a regular production car, so the fenders are not all made the same. I guess that being aluminum they have had issues with them being the same as well, therefore leading to the fitment issues.The eagle has landed!

How could they do that after you ordered it? Thatās Not Right!
Oh I canceled the deal, not them. Corporate told me that it wouldnāt make it out of the lot until more cars come to ship it to Florida, then told me to call someone else if I wanted to expedite it. I just decided I had enough. My experience with Ford and this GT350 I already have was terrible, between blown engines, etc. I just decided to leave the blue oval and move on.
