fq -

Let me know after you get your clear bra done. Mine's getting as I type. They're doing the entire front bumper and the front section of the hood and mirrors. They said there's not a good starting point other than the top of the turn signal light and then straight across the hood. That's a lot of bra but they said it will look better than trying to freehand a curve. We'll see. Anyways, it's gonna cost me $650 plus $250 for the ceramic FormulaOne Pinnacle 30% tint.

I'll post pics when it's done.

Have I said how much I like the Bluetooth/Razr combo?

But the 2004s did not have the wood surround and it looked, if i may say it, ugly.? I think the wood surround might make it look presentable enough that the covered cupholders may not be needed.? Can you please post a pic?? Also, could you please post a pic of the center console?

Thanks.

Here you go... pic of the rear center arm rest / cup holder and front center storage console

[quote name='a061444' date='Dec 28 2004, 07:50 PM']When did you order it and at what stage of the production was it at?

I am trying to figure out? how long it is going to take to get my car.

Thanks,

I made a MS Project schedule to track your car's progress. It seems that you beat the estimated 53 days that was given in the FAQ section for West Coast deliveries.

I made this chart so that it would help others estimate their delivery dates. If others on this forum could post their dates from order to arrival, I could post more of these charts to help us gain more confidence in the delivery dates.

Enjoy the car.
