Seven days till lock and I can finally stop obsessing about the tiniest details and live with my choices.

This morning I'm playing with the SB vs. Chalk in the configerator. I think I'm sticking with SB.

if you change now it may delay the build, however better to have it the way you want it… not often you can get a shot at speccing one.

Same situation but I'm playing with Chalk vs GT Silver. Really want the black/red interior and Blue doesn't work well with that IMO. I'll probably stick with Chalk.

Changing your spec can lead to *significant* delays in your build, especially if Lock date is close. Be warned.

Looks like the Siem Cicero made it to Emden. Fingers crossed I get loaded on it soon.

Me too. Watching it like a Hawk. The TYD update tomorrow should show us on the ship. :-)

Time to start buying my list. Intake screens, radar mount, radar unit, cup holders...... And so it goes.

I have silver. That pic looks like Satin Platinum, which I’ve seen in person, to me.

You can source colored key-fob side pieces all over Amazon. I think I paid $11 for mine.
There are so many different vendors selling them, you can order several in BLUE from different sources and one or more will match Shark Blue.

A five week delay due to colored key would be a direct blow to the sensitive private parts; that sucks. Ouch!
