Please post pics. I ordered mine and the time to build was not bad but the boat to LA seemed to take forever and the trip from LA to Phoenix took almost a week (that was the toughest). However when I went to pick it up after being prepped, polished, etc. it took my breath away. Made the wait worth it.

Here she is! 
So far so good! Learning my way around the computer system (BMW owner here) but everything is going great. It is driving very well (although a bit more sluggish than my 750i, I have to admit). The interior however is MUCH nicer and the upgraded 3D stereo system is AMAZING. I am really enjoying the adaptive cruise control. Basically the car drives itself! I am very happy with the options I picked. I didn't need the fancy back seat options since my kids are rarely in my car for more than a few minutes. I feel like this config is perfect to pamper a solo driver.
I also adore the interior. The color combo is really fab. I was worried it would be too dark with the white exterior but it's perfect. I like how it's black at your feet so it is less likely to show dirt.

It's always great when you order the car just how you want it and when it finally shows up, you are happy with your decisions. Wishing you many pleasant miles!

Thanks! Very happy with it. I did actually break out the owner's manual though for getting some questions answered. LOL. Haven't done that in about 20 years for anything.
Found the manual download here (easier to search than a book) in case anyone else wants it:

This is a great resource.
Did I mention the 3D stereo is amazing??? Oh and I got the seat heaters and the massage thing activated today on the way back from a long day at work. WOW.
