We're all in the same boat :-) I don't want to jump the gun here, but I'd love to see delivery pictures of all the M-cars on this Capricornus Leader voyage later on!

I just hope it isn't the train coming the other way.

We've slowed down slightly and the estimated time of arrival to Long Beach is slipping.

Reported ETA: 2022-07-31 11:00 LT (UTC -7)
Calculated ETA: 2022-07-31 20:33 LT (UTC -7)
Calculated ETA at: 14.9 Knots

I wish Mexico is smaller size!!!!

evobeatsti · 07-28-2022, 09:02 AM

Anyone start ordering parts for their car in anticipation of its arrival? I just received my R44 sp1 splitter and side ducts, waiting on my R44 exhaust, and just scheduled ppf and ceramic coating with Tyler O'Hara at American Wrap Co

checking the forums daily hoping someone unlocks flash tuning!

Also, what are you guys doing for front license plate? Is there a good solution that doesn't require drilling but works with active cruise control?

M3coco · 07-28-2022, 09:16 AM

Ordered my front splitter, should be here in a few days. Also scheduled tint, and PPF.

GoldfishTX · 07-28-2022, 09:18 AM

Doing my best not to buy things for the car before it gets here...

brianshodge · 07-28-2022, 11:06 AM

According to the Port Hueneme vessel schedule it's now been moved to August 2nd arrival.

Ordered this high kick spoiler from aaconceptsco and am getting it ceramic coated and tinted the instant I take delivery of the car lol

SaMaster14 · 07-28-2022, 01:42 PM

I ordered a high kick rear spoiler, cf mirror caps, and the cf front splitters (the front vent replacement), as well as the valve controller (which won’t be installed until post-1200m break in).

Also should have PPF and tint set up for right when I receive the car! A buddy of mine is in the car business and assured me we will go straight to PPF when I get the car haha

I’m going to see if my dealer will install it to forego any warranty issues. (They are generally pretty chill).

I ordered from ******** for all my carbon parts! The spoiler and mirror caps came in, but the front duct trim was on back order, but should still arrive before my car…

EDIT: I guess I can’t name the company that I ordered from? It blocked it out…

UK, it was like $30 more dollars then the US site, but i wanted it now and not wait until November until the US gets them lol. Took about 2 weeks to make it and ship to me.

GoldfishTX · 07-29-2022, 09:14 AM

Still estimating Long Beach arrival at very late 7/31.

petrol_phxz · 07-29-2022, 09:52 AM

Keeping fingers crossed. Thanks for the morning updates Goldfish! I definitely look forward to your post every day

M3coco · 07-29-2022, 01:07 PM

So close, but still so far lol. The anticipation is killing me

jummo · 07-29-2022, 02:08 PM

The Copernicus Leader is obviously on an express route without any stops on its way to Port Hueneme.
My ship, the Goliath Leader is clearly the local choice with stops at Cartagena, Columbia, Manzanilla, Panama, Lazaro Cardenas, Mexico and is presently moored in San Diego.
Next stop Port Hueneme! Despite leaving over a week earlier, it will only be at Oxnard a day or two ahead of the Copernicus.
You all chose wisely with your ship choice.

If you've seen the other thread, you'll see that we were all hoping to get on literally anything that floated last month... and the month before that...
