Should be. Once you have a date, the trip to production is pretty much over. Then it's the trip to your dealer after production...

The parts I see are just 4/5 dr and w or w/o subwoofer. From what I've seen, I'm pretty they will fit either mini or full spare.

It will just be phone call or SMS - data is too expensive... You call it's number (from an approved number), and it will decline the call (so it takes no minutes), and starts.

One thing on the molded flaps front - the car has a lower ring of black plastic all the way around the bottom, so that won't get chipped/rust. The lessens the need for the flaps a little. I will still probably get them, but thought I would point that out.

Oh, and checking the speedo against a GPS

My first thing is to install my modification to the remote start. I'm making it so you use a cell phone to start the car, instead of having a second key fob.

That is the date it was entered in the system. It us up top on the left, to the right of your state code - so mine says MI 120110426. I don't know what the first digit is, I've seen 1 or 2 there (maybe shift?), then YearMonthDay

Yay!

I just noticed my window sticker lists 'TAG 000X000 E MERRILL' under optional equipment. Guess that will make it easy to identify

I use http://services.forddirect.fordvehicles.com/inventory/WindowSticker.pdf?vin=

My window sticker just posted (within the last 20 min). Mine shows 4/26 instead of 4/25, but that can be difference in what the dates represent (start of line vs end, or something else)

I can tell you for sure it does not match size or rims. The rims are steel, and thes tires are 215s, while the non spares are 235. Your outside diameter is still the same , which is what makes it full size. Unless the titanium with handling package I looked at was somehow different.

The Titanium Handling Package I looked at had a 215/55R16 93H Continental (didn't catch the line), on a steel rim. So full size, but not a matching set - it looks like the tire is the one they use as the stock tire on regular Titaniums

Etis will show giberish (but not a error) until sometime after the car is built. Windows stickers should appear sometime this week.

The 4/25 date is for Retail orders. They have been building MFT stock orders since day one. So that car was build 3/25, but they were held until early april when the ok to ship was issued for MFT, but there was a ~4k backlog of cars waiting to ship. So they are working through those cars, and may take a few more weeks. Plus it's possible the car is waiting for rework (fixing anything that failed QA)

Aftee looking at a bunch of cars at my dealer, I found this: Normal cars are 'flat' Cars with the 10 speaker audio have about a 1" lift. Cara with a full size spare have about 4" additional left.

I stand corrected! Thanks

I think the manual actually calls is Sport mode, but I don't have it in front of me right now to check. Basically in this mode, the computer waits as long as possible to shift on its own, preventing over rev and stall. Any other shifts you want, you have to do yourself.

You reach in the crack between the back and the cushion and pull the cushion up, it will fold forward. Don't know if it can be removed all together though. Note that cars with a full size spare (the sports package), where is a ~5" height difference between the seat backs and the trunk floor, this is because they have to raise the trunk floor to fix the full size spare.

It likely to be a dealer allotment limitation or a material hold particular to your vehicle combo. I've also seen more than once where a VIN has been issued, but for one reason or another, the dealer doesn't notice... If you have your dealer and order number, you can contact http://www.facebook.com/JamieAtFord and she can tell you the status.

Yeah, I got my order number when they printed of the order confirmation screens. Hopefully your dealer will have a copy.

If you have your dealer and order numbers, http://www.facebook.com/JamieAtFord can let you know info
