Can't wait to this saga to end and the enjoyment to begin!

If you are driving it from the dealer and/or to the PPF place, consider getting some Track Armour from Amazon. If you order today, you'll have it in time, and it's very easy to put on. I'm paranoid and have a 30 mile drive, so did almost the entire front, and rear arches, etc., but just doing the front bumper cap will likely prevent 95% of potential pre-ppf chips.

Or, if you can't get that in time, there's always painters tape. Ask me how I know....

Exactly 3 weeks ago today from when it arrived in Port. My SA has scheduled delivery to us on Saturday at 11:00am. Then all set to drop it off early Monday morning for full ppf, ceramic coating, and window tint. And, of course, we are then traveling to Noth Carolina to visit family. Hopefully, I'll get to enjoy driving this car one day soon. Really looking forward to it.

So sorry to hear. I'm sure your pain will subside when you get over the initial shock. As you said there are more important things in life. Can't tell from pic. Did it just tear the ppf or Is it also a scratch in the paint and/or a small dent?

there are 2 small dents it's hard to tell from the picture as there is a reflection, I will know more about the damage when the ppf comes out
