JLT's 2013 in Gotta Have It Green is here

Got a call Thursday that the car hit my dealership.
Made the deal Friday and just picked it up this morning.

It's a 2013 Premium
Gotta Have it Green - Looks awesome in person, pictures do not show the true color.
Track pac- 3:73, torsen diff, Brembo, BOSS oil cooler and radiator
Comfort group

I striped the Kona car of all parts to put on the '13, like the blower, suspension, exhaust, hydrocarbon interior and more.

First thing was the BBR/JLT billet antenna and hydrocarbon coil covers.

Much more to come, keep an eye here and on our Facebook page to see the progress.

We will be working on getting a good paint match this week to get a matching intake on it ASAP

Thanks
Jay

Looks good! You may have to start with a light colored primer on that intake tube to get a paint match.

Looking forward to seeing how well the '13 cars hold up to boost, without oil squirters. Hopefully no issues.

Thanks guys.

Ford builds dealer stock first and this just happened to have what I wanted.

The color is a must see as pictures don't look anything like it. It's pretty hot!

As for oil squirters, they dropped them a while ago and Roush hasn't stopped putting blowers on their cars.
No worries.

Thanks
Jay

Man, you are fortunate. I have been searching cars.com and the Ford Dealer Inventory site for awhile now, looking for a Base GT with Track Pack and Recaros and can't find any dealer inventory with those two options within 150 miles of me. I'd even be willing to settle for a Premium if no Base were available, but the few Premiums with Track Pack I've found didn't have Recaros and had a bunch of other options I don't want. I guess my tastes vs the publics are very different, lol. I just don't want to order something and then have to wait 3-4+ months for delivery since the nice weather in the Northeast is here now.

seems the only solution for you is a factory order, it takes 6 to 8 weeks but you get exactly what you want...get her done!!!!

Looks sweet! I'll have to take a trip down there to see it. Only thing is, I'll probably spend some money while I'm there!

6-8 wks isn't bad but I'm hearing about lead times twice that and there seems to be some specific holdup with the Track Pack due to limited availability of some component

Those caps are cool where can they be gotten from? I assume you guys sell em? I like that they are black with the 5.0 touch. I'd probably only get the oil cap tho

Not anymore. I got a vin and build date. They are slowly trickling down.
