First in Japan
This is the FIRST C7 delivered in Japan (to me!). I ordered it in August and it was delivered April 5. Huge markup here but well worth it.

And here's a pic after the wet sanding process was done to reduce the significant amount of orange peel the car came with from the factory. There's definitely still OP there and it's impossible to eradicate it completely without taking all the clear coat off, but compared to how it looked when the car was first delivered it's a night and day difference.
