Nice! Im M3CX as well, Frozen dark grey, Silverstone carbon buckets, carbon package, lasers, pretty much everything except the carbon ceramics, which I am slightly bumming about and the radar on front which I couldn't stand not being symmetrical.

Im in northern cali, Novato.

Yeah I am going to PPF to some degree. i've been going back and forth between full and front. Like yes full would be great, but just shredding the $$. Won't see it back. Maybe 10-20% of the $ spent on PPF. Might as well save the 6-7K for the next car. I don't plan on keeping this more than 3 years I think.

FYI: For anyone who is on the VIRGO LEADER like us and want's to see their ship leave the port it's happening right now. so watch this cam in you should see it in a few min. It's getting tugged.

Yeah I'm in the same boat regarding PPF. Full ppf is just insane at $8k+. I'm thinking either partial front or full front and maybe Ceramic Coating. Again, dropping another $5k on top of the 90k for the car seems excessive to me. Lol

Yeah I would not really consider full PPF for anything other than the matte colors. They can get messed up so easy. Take it to get serviced and some noob hand washes it with wax soap. Boom. Gets scratched, no buffing it out. Just scratched forever. So It's a really tough call.

I'd say if you want it, full front because it will be noticeable if you go halfway up the hood/fenders. It will collect dust / dirt and eventually become more and more noticeable.

I'm going through Seattle BMW and they're going to charge $1400 for partial hood and full front PPF. Another $350 for tint.
It's nice to pick the car up ready to go though. If my car ever makes it out of QC it should be sick.

Damn you're still in QC?!

:

Any word from genius or your CA on what's the hold up? I guess, better delayed now and the issue is resolved rather than get it earlier and then have to fix it after

It looks like many in your build week have been assigned a ship and are in transit. How long have you been at the port? Where is your car going?

Oejsup · 06-29-2022, 03:52 PM

Since June 9th Week 22

VaderDaver · 06-29-2022, 06:15 PM

Been at port since June 7... going to NY/NJ port

And Vaderdaver, for most, not all, it’s been a month wait at the port. Not sure when others in your build week made the port. Hang in there, you’re both extremely close. Two NY/NJ bound ships leaving Bremerhaven by this weekend. Keep hope alive!!

Coolked · 06-29-2022, 07:22 PM

I also reached the port June 9th and went into transit 1 week later only to go back to the port 48 hours later. Hoping to catch either the Don Carlos or Treasure tomorrow.

A bunch, and I mean a bunch of folks in your same predicament just made the Donington on Monday. You guys have to be close. The Don Carlos was the first ship to disappoint me when it sailed last month without my car!! Thankfully the Morning Lena wiped away my tears ten days later!! Hope is like credit card debt, hard to get rid of!!
