I wasn't able to get FAY with my order as well. Fortunately I was able to get the body colored roof which was also constrained. The week if my order I wanted the dual roof option but I was only able to get either the transparent roof or the body color roof, but not both. Interesting how allocations and constraints work.

The constraints/allocations thing is an opportunity for some of the greasier dealers to manipulate buyers and unload their wallets. It is amazing how many are on board with this BS.

It sounds as if this particular retailer is making his ordering problem your problem. "allocations", are the dealers problem NOT a buyers. There are literally thousands of Chevrolet dealers out there. Find one that has something close to what you want and avoid all the ordering nonsense that we read about every day here.
