@Nova have lost track, sorry. Is your power steering pump now replaced and if so, what was your turnaround time on that repair?

On a slightly different subject, and considering my delivery is imminent, I was curious about how others have handled the cash delivery aspect, whether for a down payment or full payment. Wondering if I should wire the money ahead of time or arrive with a cashier's check. I will not have had a...

For the record for my car: 1. Arrived into Baltimore on the Atlantic Sun on 5/13. 2. Dealer let me know today it's on a transport to So Cal, and should be delivered by this weekend, 5/31, or 6/1. Whoo hoo! I've arranged to pick it up next Wednesday 6/5. I'm counting myself as one of the very...

Thanks @Bancho, just ordered Tan (along with an Alcantara/Blue stitch), I think the color is pretty close to the tan interior. The blue leather is a little too baby blue IMO, Seneca is definitely darker. Will be a challenge to match I think, and hard to compare leather to shiny paint though, as...

My 540 self destructed and I couldn't give it away. Electronics went bonkers (the AC would just decide on it's own what fan speed it wanted, and if it wanted to be mean that day, would simply ramp it up and down between full speed and zero randomly), and all the pixels in the displays began...

So here's mine, next to @T6061's Emira at the PPF shop. Plan to keep it for now, but destined to be the garage queen when my Emira arrives, at least in the short term.

Thanks, I feel much better now. And it is too bad there's no orange for the Emira yet!

And you're not posting pics of the 240? Shame on you, let's see them!! :)

Thanks for updating our tracker @Jincook! I see Technic is PPF'ing the rear diffuser in the whole car price of $6000. Lowest we've seen so far I think. Will be interesting to hear your impressions once it's completed.

Still isn’t answering my question.

Sorry, unlike possibly some, I don't have unlimited funds. Already way over my original budget with FE 2.0 pricing, trying to be more frugal where ever possible at this point, including considering going just partial PPF. Irrelevant though to my original question. Just trying to understand if...

Thanks. PFS also quoted me extra for the rear diffuser which is why I’m inquiring. Would like to see what others are experiencing out there. And for the record, PFS quoted me $6800 for full body PPF with +$500 for the rear diffuser. $7300 total. Just not sure it’s worth me springing for the...

Question for those who have done or planning full body PPF: is your installer PPF’ing the rear diffuser and if so is that an extra cost or included in the full body pricing? And what are your opinions on PPF’ing the rear diffuser? Necessary? Or just ceramic coat?

Try turning your phone horizontal. It appears for me when I do that.

Please contribute as you learn more info on these or other places to help fill in the blanks for all of us. The spreadsheet should be editable by all. Please let me know if any issues, my first time with doing this on the forum.

Ok team So Cal, here's some quick not so quick (now that I've written them all down) takeaways from my visits to Elite and PFS this week, many of which will expose more OCD than I actually though I had. Hopefully some of you can appreciate this: 1. It's definitely worth visiting the shops...

No trim removal is encouraging me! Hope that’s possible with the Emira.

Thanks for the details and pics, looks like a nice clean install. So sounds like it's good for overnight but maybe not 2 overnights. And while its in parking mode, does it notify you of "activity?" If so, by what means? I'm considering that when I'm parked in a building parking garage, and...

Thanks for that info! From your pic you've obviously hardwired. Do you use parking mode and if so what's your experience? I'm concerned of course about running the battery below starting level and how long parking mode can be on before this becomes an issue, without some sort of aux battery.

I'm liking the look of that location in the second pic from the inside. What model is this?

Thanks for posting this @robrmon. I've mostly been concerned about the relief cut to the rear of the vent, but now this photo has me staring at what looks like much larger seams forward of the vent towards the door. I know it's very difficult to capture on images what these things actually look...

Great visits today with both Elite Clear Bra in Huntington Beach and PFS in Santa Ana. Learned a lot, will post a summary tomorrow (see my post in the US delivery thread for some of what I learned) if I get time and also share the info collected in the spreadsheet. Also a great meetup with...

Today I visited two PPF installers in So Cal that I would call "high end" based on the cars I saw there (all significantly more expensive than the Emira). At the first shop they had already done an Emira that had left, but only front end PPF. But we looked at the XPEL templates for the Emira on...

What a coincidence, my ETA is 1:36!

On my way out to Elite now, figuring on 30 min with them, then off to PFS, so prob there around 1 or so

I'm headed out to visit with Elite right now. Was going to swing by PFS on my way back as they are pretty close. What time do you expect to be there?

Ok, thanks. How long before you think you'll have those photos and have them up on the website?

Awesome news @Bancho appreciate the work you're doing. Been eagerly anticipating this. I just ordered black leather/blue stitching yesterday because I was in a hurry before my car arrives in a couple of weeks, but would prefer your upcoming options. Do you have photos of the blue and tan leather...

Whoooo HOOOO! Finally! It's all the positive energy here for sure!! Congrats, very happy for you! Somehow it just wouldn't feel right to receive my car before yours @kitkat (but of course I wouldn't turn it away if it did)! ;)

Just asked and heard back from Zach, Elite Bra has now completed at least one Emira and he of course said they did a great job. FWIW. But at least we know now that Elite has Emira experience.

Ok, so I took a stab at compiling all the valuable information we have so far from our So Cal members on PPF into a spreadsheet, but until I figure out how to share a copy for us all to contribute to, I had to create this table (because it wouldn't let me attach a spreadsheet, and this is UGLY...

Thanks @PsymonR and @Balboa Can you measure the length of that cut out? Hard to determine scale in the close ups we've seen. And are you saying that at "normal magnification", say when you're standing next to the car, you can't see this? Because the close up photos are really concerning me...

Honestly unbelievable that your car has been allowed to sit there that long while other cars arriving much later get loaded ahead of it. Brutal. Feel for you man. I'd be all over my dealer, but that's just me.

Thanks greatly @T6061 for all the detailed information about PFS. I'll be seriously considering them and look forward to hearing your feedback after completion. One question and I apologize if already answered: Are they working with pre-cut film which they will oversize to fully wrap the edges...

Seeing them in person at Monterey changed my mind on Seneca (was solidly on Hethel Yellow before then). Since I didn't go with the "launch" spec, (i.e, full black pack, alcantara, and diamond cut wheels) which I agree there will probably many from what I've seen, I think my Seneca will be fairly...

If I ever get the tracker going, I'll add these, thanks. What issues did you have with the ceramic at Dipendable? And what PPF do they use?
