Well, we got her home today. She’s almost perfect....almost, but more on that later.
Beautiful, Congrats on finally getting her home. Must be a great feeling, which I'm looking forward to about the middle of March. Love the Interior, that's exactly the way I ordered mine and yours is the first pic I've seen of it! Enjoy driving her!!!
Thanks for all the comments, I was torn on the color. The silver just looks good in all lighting and has a great paint flop. WGG, EB, and white were my other choices. The other silver car I own had something to do with it to.
I love the car. 99% satisified so far.
But here are the issues and they are all carbon Fiber related.
#1 Wing has a small crack in the tip of the wing.-Dealer is ordering a new wing
#2 Divers side upper fender vent is poorly fitted as compared to the passenger side- Dealer checking on how its mounted and if the two sections are glued. Body Shop looking into it, Dealer fixing it either way.
#3 Same type of clear coat crack of bad fiber joint that caused the clear to crack.
The panel fitment is pretty good on the front upper hood area- the lower bumper to fender is OK- But I'll looking into adjusting that if possible. Rear Of Hood, That's not a light reflection. Its a crack My Man JAKE!!! I like Chrome. Lower Fender Lower Fender Fender and hood Fender and hood Left side of wing tip good side upper fender vent Bad side upper fender vent
However with these small issues I am still a satisfied customer. For a little perspective, It took 3 years to build that 72 with my son and If I counted my labor in it It would easily approach the cost of a Zo6 maybe even the Zr1. I mention that because even after all the $$$ and attention that car got it did not turn out perfect. Not to mention no warranty of any sort. My plans are to fix the issues, protect it as best I can and drive it like i stole it until the wheels fall off!
Side Note-I will say that after waiting for a very long time (14 months from when I decided to purchase one to delivery), watching all the craziness on the forum about it and the fact that so many cars arrived with bigger issues than mine. I was getting burnt out on the whole thing.There is something to be said for waiting too long for something.....I think the excitement is replaced with anxiety. I doubt I'll ever go thru this process again. I'll just be patient and wait.Just curious if others have this take on a long wait for something like this?

Thats just ridiculous, paying that kind of money and finding **** like that. I know the dealer will take care of it, but COME ON MAN

I don’t think anybody really looked the car over at the dealership. I looked at it when it got delivered and did a quick once around. And then yesterday when I went to get all the paperwork straight and actually take delivery I took about 30 minutes and went around the car. I agree it’s ridiculous, almost 150 K but then again my issues are trivial when compared to some of the other cars.
And honestly, I’m glad they didn’t do it but a little black polish and I would’ve never seen those cracks. I just hope the carbon fiber pieces don’t become the Achilles’ heel of this car....Oh wait a minute I guess they already are.
I have the same fitment by the headlight from the wheel well up. Tight fit to a 1/8 crack by the light on both sides one side a little worse. The CF fender vents are not finished on the under side so if you look at a level angle well you know not good. I don't find the body parts not fitting perfect a big problem you know if you look real close it has a few imperfection but I bought it for a performance car plus nothing is really that bad. I do think they should have finished the under side of the fender vents. James I think your car looks awesome love the color goes great with C3 silver anyway they will fix all that for you enjoy.
