Nice shirt btw.

You say that like youve never seen an eg with unneccesarily large rims lol.

I always try to wear my nice shirt when its 30+ outside.

I got it opti coated by Hamza. He's a detailer on these boards. Elevated Car Care.

oh i see..
that's not cool if your purchase date is earlier, and they are getting the same car sooner..
hope the information is wrong and that car is yours..

i'm going in tonight to find out when i can pick it up, and get an appraisal for my trade in..
who knows, i might get it tonight..

That kid can clearly tell what a badass car that is.

Goddamn the Raven looks sharp, so stoked I picked that colour! I love how it blends in with the black plastic grille pieces/trim etc, love it!

For those who ordered early June, expect your car to be here Mid July. I ordered mine June 1st, got an email just now stating my car is on rails and headed to Toronto. I also got my VIN!!, whiteout MT is coming to me!!!

Congrats!

The cars that are coming look great guys, I would have to say. The whiteout looks great IMO. It just looks so damn dark but I like every colour I work on. One thing I noticed while working on these cars is that the paint quality is high, very high for the price. I mean the little details on the car, even the one's I've noticed in paint are amazing. This car is a engineering marvel, I probably would have got it if I could afford it and if it fit my needs. Key word being "fit" LOL

[Hamza7]

Also a warning for people who are getting their vehicle late and have the dealership throwing in free rust proofing. I recently had a client who got this and they actually sprayed the rust proofing everywhere, and I mean everywhere even on the plastic in the engine bay. My client was pissed. There was rustproofing solvent on the rims, on the side view mirror, the wheel wells and even some on the paint. It's like they tried to mess up, or were trying to be very fast like do it under 30 seconds.

congrats dude! Hopefully me ordering June 9th didn't put me too far behind.

Sent Ian Fernandes (DVN Scion Brand Manager) an email today.

I wouldn't even go for the dealership rust proofing. That wax style rust proofing doesn't work as well as yearly oil rust proofing from what I've seen.

Hamza and me were talking about this when he was detailing my car. Why do dealerships resort to providing the lowest quality of service/product while advertising the best?

If Krown is the best, get in touch with Krown, have Krown do their customers cars? Krown gets money, Toyota gets reputation so people won't feel bad about going in for work.

Same for detailing. Why do i, as the consumer, have to go on to the internet to find a dude that will detail my car a billion times better than the dealership will ever care to.

I would have not minded paying the same money to my dealership if they had someone like Hamza on staff taking the same care detailing a car.

They are losing business they could have easily kept.

Open up a dealership and change it up.

I've worked for dealerships detailing before. Big names too. They don't accept my methods and ideas. They want you to do what they've always done and use products that they get for cheap because that's what they've always done. Even if they know it's not the best for the cars.

I just purchased a Mazda 3 two days ago for the parents. The sales guy actually got OFFENDED after I declined the dealership rustproofing. He started attacking me stating that the car is going to rust and it because of my ignorance. I told him I was going to do my own oil changes and he starts to question if I'm an authorized mechanic like the ones at his dealership and the type of oils I use and if I know what I'm doing. He just turns into a full d!ckhead and starts mentioning all these useless facts.

Dealerships will always be stealerships.

The irony is that I use better quality oil and filters than the dealership and I actually torque my bolts down to spec where most dealerships just slam the bolts with the air gun and over torque them.

yar i'm not the entrepreneur type, i just feed ideas. I used to work in sales, worst time of my life. I'd rather work as a male whore than feed consumerism down the throats of unsuspecting souls.

it's a sad state of affairs
