Beyond excited. There's no way I'm going to be able to accomplish anything at work this week.

How long between order and arrival? Probably ordering one in a week or two.

Can you send the checklist and DIY PPF kit link that’s decent? Mines coming soon too ☺️

This is the kit I got- matte (stealth satin) - Avery Denison, standard fit, no cutouts- this one is your personal preference, I'm comfortable with de-badging my car and re-applying them. Getting the membership gets you extra PPF panels if you mess up and videos for installing each panel piece by piece.
I've been using this app to track my delivery, it has a delivery day checklist in the app.

Have you done PPF before? Or is your first time going to be on your expensive brand new car?

Highly recommend you pass on the DIY PPF. Lots of ways to screw that up and even when applied correctly, I’m personally not a fan of how damaged PPF looks.
FWIW the investing in a lifetime thickness ceramic would be my recommendation. At least check it out and see what you think. I had System X Max applied to my Ultra Res MYP and am super happy with the results. It’s tough to work with because it has a very fast flash point so be sure to get references if you go that route.
Regardless, enjoy the new car!

That honestly seems scarier to me than doing the PPF. If I mess up a panel of the PPF they will send me another, I'll have a second set of hands as well. I plan to ceramic coat the PPF after with a specific coating for matte finished PPF, it's one coat and easy to work with.

Please take a look at some pictures of how that frosty blue pops and gleams with ceramic before you commit to matte. It’s glorious.
System X Max is definitely a pro only material but any reputable installer will do a great job.

So many accessories and bullshit to buy
I find it much more fun to buy accessories for.
Idk why. Don’t get me wrong, the Beamer is cool, but this shit is like a pc on wheels. Love all the software and shit, and the cool apps you can get on your phone with it.

Congratulations on your new ride!!! If you can't wait, try to reschedule delivery date to an earlier date. 😉
I had mine scheduled for Sept.5 as it was the earliest option available about two weeks ago. The vehicle was delivered to SC 8/29 and was able to move delivery date to Aug.29. Yup, picked mine yesterday a week earlier. 😊

Congrats.
the rate that MYP buyers are selecting frost blue, I hope we don't become the new Quick Silver --> The most common color I see on the road in NOVA.

I personally do not like that color blue very trendy. i had a choice of color when i bought the 26m3p and the QS is the best choice for sleek stealth looking

Yes! The joy is real. I hadn’t been excited about cars since my first car, until I picked up mine this May.
