Finally here!
I took delivery of this baby a week ago in LA and drove it up home. So far, I love the car, although I get frustrated driving on the roads as it wants to be driven fast. There were a few spec issues I was concerned about, but everything got put to rest when I saw the car at the dealer.
I did not spec this car myself, and it came with black wheels and painted side skirts. I felt iffy about it and and most likely would not have spec-ed these if I had done it myself. However, when I took delivery of the car there was an identical car parked right next to mine with the gunmetal wheels and the standard side-skirts. I have to admit that I was happy my car had the black wheels and the painted skirts. If I had to spec it again, I would definitely spec it as it is now.
Overall the car performs flawless, except one issue that I hope is normal for this car. When coming to a stop I can hear the PDK clutch engaging and disengaging. Is this normal?
I got 560miles on it, and I am slowly opening her up. Hopefully will visit one of the Bay Area track events soon.

Good stuff! First painted skirts I've seen. They look awesome.
I'd love to see someone do the lower rear bumper and spoiler lip. I would if I had the car!
How do you like the buckets?
Congrats!!

The buckets are awesome. Drove 430 miles in them with a 5 minute pitstop. Surprisingly, no pain anywhere. In fact, most of my current and previous cars that I drove from Socal to Norcal, which included comfy AMGs, I would have to shift a lot due to pressure here and there. These seats hug you well with no pressure points, so I dare say they are comfy, at least for me.
