Picked up mine today, #581! All the plastics are now off; I'll finish the detail tomorrow. There was no hiding in this car on my drive home. I've put just over 100 miles on it so far. I love how it drives!
Make sure to check your tire pressures. Mine were all set at 45 psi (used for shipping)...
Mine just arrived in Hampton, VA. ETA was 12/18 - 12/22. Other dealers in the area shows "on-lot" while mine was still in-transit.
Keep up the hope tuhroo!
Congrats! My dealer is doing the same and not detailing it. I'm picking mine up today, so I'll see if mine has paint issues. I'm worried that birds were landing on it at the port and scratching it up. I'm hoping it won't need a lot of work.
This reminds me that I need to order new numbers...
Well, according to the tracker, every dealer in the area has a Type R "at-dealer"....except for mine. Whether they are actually at the dealer or not, who knows? At least things seem to be updating somewhat. To be fair, the earliest ETA was the 18th. I'm hoping to get it before my work's...
I've been toying around with the idea. I've been thinking of buying a can of Autodip (sprayable vinyl) in blue to test out how it might look in person before committing the time and money to paint. I've seen some photoshopped images of paint matched wings, but you don't get the full effect.
I was gunning for the circuit with my fallback being the Core with the performance package. I wasn't interested in a base Core. Maybe if I was going build a dedicated race car out of it, I would consider it, but then Toyota probably has a program for that.
My dealer asked if I wanted them to keep it covered in everything before I asked. I think he deals with selling other specialty vehicles through their dealerships, so he's used to people asking. I'm excited about it, oddly. It should make some good before, during and after photos/videos.
Congrats! It sucks about the swirl marks, but I'm glad to hear they are covering the paint correction. Are they correcting it or are you taking it to your own place?
I'm loving the red on this car and I'm not normally a red car person. I originally wanted SGP, but I'm stoked on getting the "Boostlag" Blue. I would not have been sad if I had to get red!
Boostlag definitely describes the rollout of this car :p
