    Thank you. It's verde menthe, yes ordered new although it's not a "new" order in that I put the deposit and signed the initial order within a day of the reveal in April 2022!

    Atelier added 18 months or more to the order, I was the #2 up for production at my dealer as of late 2023 (they'd keep showing me the list, "Look bro, you're next up"). They said it would start April 2024. Then May. Then July? But weird things delayed it like the factory sent my dealer the exact same warranty waiver for my extra range leather choices THREE TIMES over 6 months, saying that my production could not begin until I signed the waiver. And it still took nearly a year to start after the third time we sent it back...

    It’s in excellent condition and fingers crossed it’s mechanically sorted. Some nicks and what look like car cover or strap rubs in the clearcoat to finish buffing out (not the dealer’s fault, I was pushing to get it quickly and they cut the PDI time down by 3 days). PPF shop has their detailer on it to finish the buff and polish on those spots before clear PPF this week.

    Did anyone tint the small rear window? I am tinting the side windows but that rear one is so tucked in under the roof spoiler/wing that I told them to hold off on that for now. Maybe just the 97% UV one that looks almost clear.

    I tinted the windshield and rear windows in uv protection only. My installer also said that it's so tucked in that if we tinted it, the cabin interior might feel too dark for this car. I tint my car to protect from the sun, generally not a super dark kind of guy, feels a bit anti social.
