Haven't heard back from the dealer yet. They're a larger dealer and cars are received at an off-site holding lot, so there are delays between when it comes off the truck and when the salesman gets his hands on it. Doesn't bother me much at the moment. They're 2 hours away, so I won't be able to pick it up for a few days...
FromZto5, It's Kona with red interior... and your HDR pics have been making me jealous!!!

dmhines, you are making me teary-eyed....
seems like just yesterday mine came off the truck like that, with 6.8 miles on her, all wrapped up. Enjoy that moment.... that's the BEST feeling ever, as far as cars are concerned. Take a pic of that odo 
Now mine has 610 glorious miles.... enjoying every single bit of it.

dmhines congrats!! great color! After you pick it up please can you post what you think of the electronics package, I got it in mine and watched a few videos of how it works and it is a must have but more impressions of it are always better!
Congrats again!

Got a message from my salesman. The car is there and arrived without damage this time. Still not sure when I'll be able to break away from work to go pick it up. **** responsibilities!

Kona GT is home safe and sound ... already performed 3 mods .... Boss Cam Covers, Sound Tube Delete and 401A Charcoal Dash.
The MT82 with factory shifter is really really different than the TR3650 with the Roush Shifter. Clutch also engages much higher with the MT82 than with the TR3650.
While driving home there were multiple times when I released the clutch I was hoping I was in the right gear! The gate is super small. Gonna take getting used to for sure ... right now the 2010 with the Roush was much better to shift.
Another thing I noticed immediately was the Factory speakers suck compared to the Pioneers I had put in my 2010.
But it is a beautiful car for sure! I setup my phone on Sync but that is about all I have played with so far ...

Congrats dmhines. Your car looks great. i have just under a 1000 miles on mine already and it really seems to loosen up, or maybe I am just more accustomed to it. Anyway its a great feeling to be off this thread! lol -Dan

congrats, dmhines.... looking really good. Feels good to be out of that wait, eh?
Hey those cam covers, are those the grabber blue colored covers in your pic? Where do you get them and how easy is it to install?

Some guys just paint their factory gray ones ... These are actually molded in Ford Blue plastic.
Takes less than 5 minutes to install .. they just pop on.
