Well I just sent off deposit to MacMulkin and in hopefully 10-12 weeks I'll be driving a Torch Red Z.
How I spec'd the car.

Lol, I hope you didn't do white, I think GM is going to run out of white paint

Dohhh, for some reason the photo didn't load and I totally skipped over the last few words.

Congrats, she's gorgeous

Yeah I was SUPER torn with WGG, but went with my gut and picked red. I've always had either red or black sports cars.

Almost three months wait? That doesn't sound good.

Most likely, probably included the annual plant shutdown

Got my order # on Jan 23rd after confirming my order on Saturday the 21st. Had a TPW of 2/20 within a few days of my order #.

Pretty pleased in the quickness of the plant. I expect my car the first week of March, so probably a total of 6 weeks.

I've discovered by far the hardest part of waiting for my order is when it's either bayed at BG or sitting in a rail car in Toledo.

Car was put into train car on 19th and is still sitting, the lack of progress is frustrating.

I think the hardest is when you get the car and drive it directly to XPel for installation

i should be getting my car this week, it'll be almost 3 weeks since I picked it up
