As mentioned before I think the rims came out too dark compared to the SB - I want to see it irl first to make up my mind though. Worst case scenario I will have them repainted silver

Since I'm making history I've edited the post to add extra two screenshots from the video.

Regarding the rims, I went with black so they look fine to me. It may be best to wait awhile until you adjust to its appearance.
When the Miata first came out, they were impossible to get but found one in central Pennsylvania. I drove there and was shocked by its color - Mariner Blue. It seemed so bright to my eyes, but bought it because they were so difficult to fond and I wanted the car for summer driving on the back roads of PA. After awhile, I came to love the blue and bought a second one in the same color. The point is that you may come to love it after you “wear” it awhile.

But don't do anything yet.
And btw, nice car.

Thanks to everyone here for sharing their information. If I had to rely on my SA, I'd be in really bad shape. The good news is that my GT4 is on its way and should be delivered this week!
What do you guys do when you pick it up? Do you bring a high powered LED and go over every millimeter of paint before taking delivery? Is there any need to inspect or do you assume that anything you find later at home will be made right?

1.) Checking every option to make sure that the build correct
2.) Look over the paint work
3.) For those who got the PCCB option (like me), check for any damage on the rotors.
4.) Take lots of pics and videos to remember the occasion and for proof of condition.

Here's some things I have been using to get some information:
The Siem Confucius just loaded yesterday and sailed out this morning. I just verified with my SA that my car didn't make it to Emden in time for that (still shows as in-transit).
Oddly enough, the only official VW shipping schedule I can find shows nothing past that one. (See https://www.pwl.de/en/eportal/schedules--vgm and then select VW and your destination area).
There are two other vehicle carriers in port now and one of them is the Siem Cicero. (See https://www.vesselfinder.com/ports/DEEME001) My SA advises that ship is one he recognizes as one that brings cars to the port of Houston so I'm hoping it will make it to Emden on time for that.
Hopefully those links will help you find a shipping schedule - when/if they update it - and then provide a way to watch for your ship to sail.

Maybe I'll call them tomorrow and see if they still have the car on the lot. If so, I might drive by and take a side by side picture to compare. If I do, I'll be sure to post them. I know my color is much lighter but if it helps others to get an idea, then glad to help. Plus, it'll give me another excuse reason to drive the car.

My MY22 CGTS is has been sitting at the Port of Baltimore since coming off the Felicity Ace on 8/12/21. My dealer and I are in PA, which is a CARB state. I pinged my SA today about an updated delivery schedule, and this was his response: "Your car is on port hold due to Tire pressure monitor shortages. I was told that will be resolved in the next week."
