It'll come in due time! I waited a little over a month for mine.

Yep, I was told 6-8 weeks when i ordered on Jan 25th, so tomorrow is only 7 weeks. From what I was told, it arrived in Oregon on March 3rd, processed on March 7th, and on its way to Chattanooga since then. Tuesday he told me that they "expect it late this week", which got my hopes up for some weekend getting-to-know-you time. I can't wait!

That's what I've found.

Figuring what to get first. Will get both eventually but guess I'm doing tints first. More of a necessity than armrest here in Cali. Haha

Mine got here yesterday. Picked it up last night after a pile of paperwork.

Tore the clutch return spring out this morning and the clutch feels fantastic, no more guessing at the bite point. DIY link here

How did the Scion bra turn out?

Opti-coat from Scion guys?

I would do a lot of research before I let them do it. Find out who is doing it for them then check them out real close, get references and ask for pics of their work or if you can see some in person.
This is something permanent and if it isn't done right then you have to live with it.
The paint needs to be polished to perfection or any scratches, swirls, water spots ect. will be trapped there and you will have to look at them everyday. Also if the Opti-coat isn't put on right it can leave ridges on top of the paint.
I'm getting ready to do my own because I don't trust anyone but I'm using cQuartz because it is a lot more forgiving in the application.
I found a guy in Jacksonville that does XPEL PPF and checks out really good, has done a lot of high end cars like Lambos and Ferraris so I'm gonna let him do my bumper and full hood.
Whoever you choose just make sure you check them out good. You might even want to check out Autogeek forum, there are a lot of really good detailers over there and they might be able to recommend someone in your area.

Questioning why they would do this unless this is a physics thing to make it easier to push in the clutch pedal. Don't really want to go wrenching around right away on a new car.

Thanks I'm on it. I will have to see who on here from Vancouver Island and British Columbia area can help out with answers as well.

I don't have any info there, some searching didn't yield any data about it. It doesn't have the protrusions jutting off of the sides, has a higher tail that creates more downforce at the likely cost of greater turbulence, and doesn't have the small bumps that look like they act as vortex generators.

I'd bet that the TRD spoiler increases the coefficient of drag, but don't treat my word as gospel on that.
