Thanks for the response and appreciate the offerings you are providing

I see what you did there with the subtle superscript :cool: Nice touch

This is an example of where you can definitely tell an overlay. The level of effort required to swap out this piece with a real CF might be too much but I'm still hopeful. The gauge cluster surround looks like it fits snug with no signs of overlay but that's because no cut outs for anything...

That's what I'm interested in. Interior matte CF that are actual replacement pieces. I've seen some 3m style CF on some C8s that you couldn't tell they were taped on but 90% of what I've seen, you can tell it is an overlay. If they were high quality and fit so perfect that you can't...

Thanks for the tips, hopefully will be doing this soon

@Carig5A Are you getting 6MT or the auto? Hopefully getting close to all FE1 manuals are being delivered

I am going to buy several Jubu spoilers (swan preferred) and wanted to see if anyone wanted to go in on a deal. The shipping/insurance is approximately $500-750 depending on the destination address ... it's a large shipment and packed extremely well so there is a cost for this. Additionally...

@sirringo @Sandalwood @DriverMod @RyanGphoto sending you a message

I don't disagree and I'm sure they are making some easy bank .... but they got it to market first so I'm willing to pay the ~ $300ish to have a proven, reliable product. I'm going to buy 10 and ideally drop ship but if not then will coordinate shipping once I receive

Looking to do a bulk purchase of the controllers for US if anyone interested

Curious for anyone who received, was there any customs charge/processing/involvement? or did you just pay a shipping cost and that was all?

@parasaran The dealer is incorrect as my buddy has a VIN for a v6auto that was built 2 weeks ago and I see several others have received also. Perhaps the dealer means they don't have any yet as none of their customers have a built auto, just trying to give them the benefit of the doubt :)

hmmm, now that's an idea. If so then I'm down for splitting and can get for cheaper

My 150k Z06 doesn't get me a loaner either :-( Not sure what the local Lotus dealer will do but I suspect nada

@sharpie349 I have a friend who is getting v6Auto and was told back in Jun sometime it was entering production but no VIN. Two weeks ago he was told it has been produced and now has a VIN that he got. So, appears at least his and your dealer only got VIN once built and then likely will sit...

heat gun to soften up the adhesive and then either a plastic pry tool to slowly go under or fishing line. Be careful with fishing line as you can scratch the paint if you go too fast or too hard

Do you still have a copy of that email, I have a friend getting an auto and he got that email but didn't save it. The dealer is now saying Lotus told all the dealers earlier this year they would be MY24 and haven't seen the email. Seems a bit fishy but wanted to get a copy just in case

I'm over 1100 but at this point I've kinda stopped caring and if I could have got my refund back I would have dropped. I'm sure I'll feel differently once it arrives but my luck some new stupid delay and it arrives in Sep, not available until Oct and then drive for a month before going into the...

- they charged you the sales tax rate for your local area not IN but didn't go through a 3rd party to process the sales tax for MD? I had a friend that bought a car somewhere on the east coast and they charged him the sales tax rate where he lives. When he registered, the DMV calculated the...

If you don't want to buy the car and wrap with a color of your choice, then you could always wait for one on the secondary market later. You'll get many colors to choose from but might not be exterior & interior combo exactly like you would order. Or you order a base model exactly and get next...

TPB was definitely my reference :-)

I go the same 'processed' statement .... I don't think that word means what they think it means

Which is why I wanted @GatorMotorsport @TurnerAtGator to validate as they are the only dealership that used to be out front of all communications and with reliable information while others were speculating. Hopefully they will respond

@GatorMotorsport @TurnerAtGator Can you confirm as this is the type of info we are used to get from you. Are FE1/2 auto now not going to be delivered until end of year?

could you provide a screen shot (with names removed) as my friend has an auto and would be good to use that info to go back to his dealer on the east coast

Wow, trading a Z06 for the Emira. I am fortunate to have a manual BW, C8Z06, and forthcoming Emira. I love the FPC and can't imagine getting rid of it anytime soon, it's my main track car. The BW is amazing in a different way but I LOVE the trans, super smooth, rev match .... lovely. The...

I have a buddy getting an auto and he finally got a response (kinda) but not super useful. Last month he was told it was in production and when he checked last week, evidently it was still in production. I know he asked about timeframes about shipping (no answer) and if Lotus backtracked on...

Logically you would think CCB but running costs and heat up truly factor in. I personally know one of the main guys at Brembo US and a group of us were talking to him at the track (friend was getting a Z06 and wasn't sure about which setup to get), Mr Brembo said unless you are super rich and...

Yep, I've posted my various quotes over the past several months but I don't live in Cali. So far so good with them although others have had not good rates from USAA. Way too many factors to consider apples to apples but is interesting to see the HUGE variation from $1k/yr to over $5k/yr

Lots of great advice here, some I agree with and some I don't. But that is what I like about the forum, you get lots of info to make a hopefully better informed decision. My input that is really only worth .02 When I was young, I blew alot of money on toys and took me years to right the ship...

We have some members confirm FE1 auto were already being built starting late Apr/early May. Your statement that April/May deposits enter production in July - assume these are FE2 slots? Supposedly FE1 would start arriving ..... soon but CARB is still looming so no idea when being released to...

I love this discount, are they rewarding you for staying in Cali :-)

I've been tracking on my end for almost a year getting quote every couple of months just to see. It's slowly been creeping up from around $65 to about $90ish. Last week it had dropped slightly to $87/mo. Pretty happy with that if it stays flat until I get the car

hey don't knock the bag .... it's lived a long full life

While I can't take advantage of this, I have to say the ingenuity, level of detail, and the bloody amazing instructions is darn impressive. Kudos @silent cilantro

ontrack is definitely a good option. It really depends on your experience level, how hard you plan on pushing, and the type of track. I run multiple track days a year with a group of guys who range from novice to advanced. None of us use track insurance even though a couple have gone all 4...

agreed, just the graphic centered. Other color options like Red?

Except that a member here has already confirmed he / she saw them being built in the factory last month. And a salesman I think from PP stated they started in late Apr early May so it would seem they are already in process for US builds

I was just messing with you :-) thought it was funny the mom was referenced. Just in jest sir
