Yes, ask your dealer for the name of the ship it will be on and then track it all the way to the destination port.

Bob did you ever price the repainting of the spare tire cover? Im sure i will be getting the chrome painted over after seeing the diamond white ones with the same color spare tire cover. I figured no more than 500.00 bucks at my local foreign car body shop

No, the one place I asked said they needed to see it so I will have to wait until mine arrives, but I am guessing about $300, more for yours since it is a 3 stage paint.

Once you know it's on a ship, this information is in the screenshot your salesman is refusing to send you . Seems to take 6-8 days to get to port from the factory, then it'll change to "At Port, no ship assignment"

I'm working on the basis that US-bound ones are all loaded together, yeah (I'd be surprised if they broke out east coast vs west coast ports). Do you know what ship you're on?

Mine is waiting to be assigned to a boat. It’s ready to be picked up. My guy said 18 days to get to the US and it usually goes to Baltimore first then GA. For some reason the last boat went to NY then headed to GA. I will get my screen shot tomorrow and send.
