Awesome!!! Exciting, bro!!
I'm going to be lucky if I get mine by the end of next week. Apparently, the guy who normally installs the MP parts just got promoted and they haven't hired anyone to backfill his position (+1 to management-level planning), so what's going to happen there is up in the air. And the guy who is painting my front lip and diffuser just picked it up today! on Thursday! when he was supposed to pick it up Monday and have it done by now! I'm cool. Whatever. The guys who could install the MP parts (I'm not sure who that is since that one guy who was going to do it just got promoted) won't touch the car until the painted parts come back finished. Why? IDK. What do the painted parts have to do with all the other things they could be doing to my car to get it ready, like take it out of transport mode, install the other MP parts, etc.? No answer. Hell, I offered to just install all the parts myself, no prob, but they insisted they'd get it done. I mean, the reason I'm letting them install the parts in the first place is only because I was reasoning that the person installing the parts had the experience of doing it many times before so that they'd do a better job than I would. If some newbie shows up installing this shit and does a half-assed job, I'm not going to be happy, and I won't let that slide!
So, mine is just sitting there. It's been a week now at the dealer and they've literally done nothing to it at all, but let it sit out in the rain. I'm a fairly patient person, but I'm also now paying for a car I can't drive, and I have to wait to pick it up before I can sell my current car that I'm still paying for, and there's no concrete plan of forward momentum on any of this happening in any sort of defined timeframe.
While I'm hopeful, I'm not terribly happy with how things are currently playing out. I hope the issues that are up in the air right now get clarified soon. I'd like to recommend the dealer and my experience with them to others in the future. But what started as a great experience is starting to tip in the opposite direction.
