When was your production date? Since mine and a few others updated, you may still be in Mexico. However, theres still a 50/50 chance you are on it and once it lands you could call your CA and see the status. That same thing happened with a few guys in this thread. 11/4 is not that far away either thankfully.

Thanks man! I flipped to 165 on 10/10 so I can see how it was cutting it a bit short, but I値l check with my CA when they start getting trucked out. Glad you guys all got on it though!

Try clearing your web browser and see if the status changed...My production date started exactly on 10/12 and it's turned 165 next day. I think yours might be on 10/20 shipment with us.

That's an insanely fast time line. Production date 10-3 and already on a boat? Congrats! Allow at least a week from the time the boat docks in Cali to get your HAS installed and to get on a truck then to dealership. Longer if they have to wait for any parts like they did for my HAS install that was more like 2 weeks from dock to dealership.

What do you estimate the timeline being if no port installs from time boat gets to Port H and dealership is 1.5hrs away without traffic?

Depends on truck schedule really but I'd bet no longer than 2-3 days from dock assuming no truck backlog.

Going back and fourth with full body PPF vs just the front/rockers/roof. Full body PPF is $7600 with ceramic! I found out the shop is actually 2k cheaper to do a wrap with no door jams (Inozetek) + ceramic. Now my head is completely spinning as to what I want to do.

Full body PPF + Ceramic?
Wrap w/o door jams + Ceramic and save 2k?
Front/rockers/roof + ceramic and save 3k?

I must admit- now that the wrap conversation is back in play- sort of excited. The shop I am going to is world class and I refuse to go to anyone else after seeing them work on numerous Bugatti's/SF90's/LaFerrari's etc... super professional group of people as well with 24/7 cameras in the shop to see your car.

Front, side rockers, possibly roof is where you are most likely going to take impact damage from rocks, debris etc. Those are the must have areas. You are far less likely too take that kind of damage on the rear etc. My ppf shop usually poses this question. Are you planning on keeping the car 10 years or more? Then full is considered an investment that could be worth it. Anything less than that the ROI may not make sense. Don't get me wrong if budget is not a concern then for sure full. But if looking to be the most efficient then I think you have to weigh that option. I went the efficient route myself, full front, roof, side rockers, ceramic. But would have done full if budget was not a concern.

Yeah, I seem to have timed it just right. Production date 2 weeks prior to a ship appears to be a pretty feasible timeline for West Coast bound cars.

I'm considering the same and my quote was in that neighborhood as well. I'm looking at full PPF (need to ask about the door jams), ceramic on paint + weeks, and tint for around $7,100.

Looks like Aquarius Leader will get into Port H a little bit later than expected. On updated schedule through Port H website, we have Aquarius Leader arriving and unloading on the 27th now.

I wasn't able to catch that but I have been checking pretty much every day. It had to have been Ready for Transport as late as this past Saturday. Is there a way to see historical dates on My Garage?

Am I correct in that it's on the Aquarius Leader? https://www.vesselfinder.com/?imo=9158276

If you are in transit, yes you should be on Aquarius Leader landing 10/27 in Port H.
