Well I did order mine 6 days before you. I think it only fair if we see who gets their vehicle quicker by days rather than the actual date.

nitzer51 & jw2013explorer,

I sent you both a Kodiak Grand Prix update! It’s a “thanks” for not going crazy while I was out with the mini-plague.

Finally had a chance to take a few photos (from the phone, sorry about the quality). Plus I had the windows tinted.

I am really loving the color!

Love it! Can't wait to get mine!!! Your phone pics are better than some of these dealerships. They must be using crappy equipment.

What % of tint did you install on the windows? Will definitely have to do that to mine!

I did 18% in the front and 35% over the rest of the vehicle. The installer used a brand called Sun Tec. Normally it's pretty diffcult to see into the rear doors or the rest of the vehicle, compared to the front (just depends on how the sun is shining). No visibility issues at night and the tint should definitely help keep the black leather cooler during the summer!

Ok, saw one of these today and had high hopes for this color based on the threads about it. Not meant to offend anyone, but Kodiak Brown is NOT for me.
