My car finally got released from the plant, and got loaded onto a train ... which promptly experienced a mechanical failure.

It's not even noticeable, took me two days to notice and I always buckle up. The first two pictures are of the driver side and the second two are the passenger side. They're not the same size or shape and wtf is that on the driver side one and the passenger side has a strip of one side of Velcro. I will ask for them to be replaced when the actual fix for the recall is available.

Yeah, those aren't the same are they.

The fuzzy stuff/velcro is on all cars these days, I think they keep the seat belt thingy from rattling against the center console. I have the same thing on my Audi. (Although your passenger side one looks like a big piece of velcro.)

I am debating on taking a car from a dealers stock in place of my ordered car, I will have to give up my PP and will gain the 401a and California Special....thoughts?

California special has cool seats and a unique front splitter that looks real nice. I think the seats have swade or something.

I seriously considered doing the same thing if my car didn't get released. The California Special is pretty sweet and you can always get the suspension parts and brakes if the wheels fit the Brembos. I really do like the 401a the 12 speaker system is nice, it's not as bad as everyone says if you're not an audiophile.

Depends if you're going to miss the PP that much, I would miss the 3.73 gears though.

I figured that's what it's for and the driver side is normal but that's the wrong part on the passenger side and I don't want the dealership clowns screwing up the interior trying to fix it and damaging something else.

And here's a shot of mine at the detailer with the wheels on. Here's a shot of the DIB Eco they were working on when I dropped mine off.

It is a stunning color! I saw it after it was polished before it was waxed and it looked amazing. About 70% of the orange peel was gone.

How long do you suppose until these 1900 units are considered collectible?

Yeah we should start a registry and/or support group. I wonder how many of the 1900 were customer orders and not just dealer inventory? The few of us waiting on our orders are probably not even a very big blip on Fords radar and they are just focusing on keeping the lines moving and the lots full :frusty:

I finally went to the dealer last weekend to see my car that I ordered back in August. I have been avoiding going to drool over a car that I can't take delivery of but just had to check and make sure nothing else was wrong with it such as shipping damage or wrong options. The good news is the car is in very good condition and is exactly as I ordered, the bad news is the wait continues.

I won't mind the 401a, I just think it is pricey for what it is. In regards to losing the PP, I am more worried about the suspension, brakes and upgraded radiator than the 3.73 gears. The CS car I am looking at has 3.55's, I would be happy with that.

Here's my baby on the lift after clay bar and iron X, next she's getting polished and primed for CQuartz. The wheels are off because they're getting done too! These guys are really good if you're in SoFlo they are mobile too and they use the two bucket method with grit guard. They had just finished polishing a DIB EcoBoost when I was dropping off mine and it looked amazing. Their prices are very reasonable for the quality of work they do.

What a beauty, PonyGrrrl!!

Well, I'm jumping ship from my original order lol. Dealer is DX'ing a car today with what I ordered and more for $660 below invoice before Rebates (Private Cash/Military). I ordered CompO 400A with Perf Pkg and Navi. This one is CompO 401A, Perf Pkg, Navi, Reverse Sensors, Enhanced Security and Premier Trim. Might have it tomorrow!

Good Luck, I hope it works out as well for you as it has for me! :clap2:

We will need some photos for evidence!

That's the dream, man! I think we're all looking for deals like that so we can get some compensation for this mess. Congrats, man!
