I've read to many horror stories on CF to let the dealer start creating a mass of swirl marks. Probably being totally AR about this but it's my car and I'd rather avoid potential problems!
If you do it at home they might not take responcability

Excellent suggestion.. I will do exactly that......... plastic off and then hands off......... To be honest I think the sales manager was a little insulted by my instructions but that's life. I was in fact extremely nice about the preping thing.. I think I'm better off doing that myself. I just realized that March 27 is only a couple weeks away.. 
My guess is I should see it maybe the first week of April? The dealer does have to install my CCW's wheels, Corsa Sport Exhaust, CAGS, Z51 sway bars and pull the rotors and send out for powder coating. Maybe burn another week doing that stuff because of the rotors. Then I can start the other 20 mods planned...
