Good luck on the retro. MBUSA already said NO RETROFIT because of labor and logistics cost as per my first post. I would re-order and ask for a discount.

MB regrouped (as they should have) and I hear the Retro-Fit is now an option

REALLY? Not that I don't trust you but if I was in that situation I would want to see something in writing from MB before signing anything.

I hear you. I would still be in negotiation mode big time. Fix it or replace it are the ONLY real options. In both scenarios, give me nice car to drive while you make it right. Be it a week to fix or 90 days to rebuild.

But thats just me....

Thanks H. Yes it will. There are 4 that have arrived in the Toronto area in the past week all with complete P30's installed. CF too. The wait is killing me. (and my wallet) Spent about $8k on parts for the new car to keep myself busy during the wait. Still have to buy rubber for the 19" yet too.LOL

Have you driven one yet? Will this be your daily driver? Hope you dont mind the questions. I'm ordering Palladium/Black/Maple Trim with 030 package this week. I'm hoping for a Christmas delivery and doing my research.

I haven't driven one yet but I'm not picky. This will be my daily driver until I can save enough money to buy another Honda. Then I'll probably drive the C63 sparingly.
