Waiting is over

Looks like they shipped out a test run. Or they did that part at 4:59pm on a Friday. Either way that's basic stuff that shouldn't pass quality control. Not sure how they can easily fix it. It's baked into the factory paint now. Ask for a re-do.

I'd expect a hair dryer and some hi-test fishing line would be good enough to get the stickers off. Clean off the residue, put on the new ones. Should be a pretty easy/quick fix. I wonder if the same robot that puts on the tailgates handles the hood letters too?

Does it by any chance come with a shark fin antenna?

You mentioned a problem with damage to the bumper....what was it exactly? pictures? is it just a buff job or new bumper cover?

 

[zackcrazy]

The lower rear bumper is getting replaced and the upper is being repaired.

Yes, this is a great question. I have a paypal bill for a sharkfin in my inbox. It would be nice if I did not need to purchase it.

Looks to me like the stinger was screwed in yet.

Take a look at the rear roof line. I think that the shark fin is in the middle of the roof line.

Would be really nice if it came with a shark fin. I think Vince may be correct though that the stinger just hasn't been screwed in yet. I haven't ordered the shark fin yet but it is on my to do list.

Is it just me, or are the letters on the hood all shifted to the driver's side?

I noticed that too. The robot must have been hung over that morning...

Does the front plate bracket come from the factory? I made a request to my dealer that if it is a dealer installed acc to leave it off, they said as long as it doesn't come on from the factory they could do that, but it appears that it is on coming off the carrier

Wow, those Sports sure do look nice. Now I know what my next vehicle will be when my current Explorer lease is up. Hopefully Ford will still offer the Sport in a few years.

The front license plate bracket is not dealer installed and the shark fin antenna I am not sure about.
The lettering on the front hood has been removed and new lettering is on order but that will take 5 days.
Good thing I am out of town for 2 weeks....lol
Maybe by then everything will be corrected.

Stopped at a local ( Chgo. suburb ) dealer that the Ford website had a unit shown as " on order ". Plat. White Sport was sitting on the lot along with all the other Ex's. Would have thought this one would have been sold before it was delivered. See pics below

Thanks Vince, I reposted the pics with a different link. I am just a rookie when it comes to this stuff

Beautiful! That's my color-- love the contrast!! Mine is suppose to be at the dealer by the 29th

 

[cnsheets]

looks like they got the hood lettering correct on that one.

Black door handles would look much better.

Agreed, think there will be a mod for the black door handles?

A dealer in my area just received a Black Sport today that is available as well ... would have also thought that it would be sold. They said they have 50 on order ....
