Painted roof is painted CF. I suspect the problem is production capacity. In the tuner world, production of a dozen pieces, say a CF hood, would be a good monthly output. In the Corvette world, not even a dozen an hour would be adequate.

Will still wait to get what I want. Originally, I wanted all 3 - could only order 2, so went with exposed CF and transparent, then changed to the painted and transparent. In the end probably best to get the painted one when the car is done so it will be the same dye-lot. |

Shane was able to confirm today that mine is in fact one of the cars gone AWOL in Nashville. He did not know (or couldn't tell me) the reason for it being there, nor how long the wait would be.
I can only hope it won't be too much longer - I've been waiting for this car since early February when I put the deposit down! Anyone out there have good news about your pending R8C delivery? I could use a pick-me-up!

It's been a busy past couple of weeks, with a club road trip in progress, but all worth the while: I finally got THE call on Monday! (figures it would be while running Tail of the Dragon and no cell service) I will be taking delivery tomorrow morning! Woohoo! I'm in Bowling Green right now, and will arrive at the Museum at 7:45am. I saw my car today while it was in the detail bay, but it won't be on the floor until morning due to an event there this evening. I can hardlt contain myself! Best of all, many of my friends from my Corvette club are here with me the experience the delivery first-hand (and take lots of photos!). I will post some pix as soon as I have a chance this weekend. Woohoo!

Does anyone know about how long it's taking these days to go from 3800 to museum delivery?

I talked to Shane early last week and there does not seem to be much of a back up on the deliveries. He said then he was scheduling for the week of 10/21.
Mine was built last Thurs 10/10 (got photos from Lori that afternoon of it coming off the line). I'm hoping the QC process goes quickly so I can pick it up late Oct. |

Thanks for the info. Guess I should call Lori or Shane. I just assumed they would be way too busy. I'm expecting 3800 next week. From 1100 on May 17. It's been a very long wait. |

I placed my order at the first of June (#3 at the dealer) - had to go on hold b/c of the CF Dash constraint. Once that was lifted, then restraint on the visible CF Roof - I figured I could always get one later, so I changed to painted CF/Transparent option. Yes, it has been a very long wait. Since I ordered the Photo Book, I knew when the TPW was and VIN due to a tracking site Shane gave me. Then Lori sent 2 photos when she rolled off the line last Thurs. Very Cool!!! |

Thanks. I have always loved the darker jewel-tone reds. I think the chrome pops more than the black. I like the more elegant look of chrome over the aggressive look of the black wheels - they look good too, just not my style.

A special thanks to Lori at NCM! She replied to my email with a TPW, and a projected date off the line of 10/21. Even have a VIN as well!!!
#4583 barring any problems should make it to the museum next week. So with a little luck the first week of November will be Factory tour and pickup time! Would be really awesome if I could pick it up the 28th or 29th, I have to be in Dallas on the 31st anyway and it is halfway home. Fingers crossed it might just work out.
