You guys realise there are even accidents and repaints at the factories correct? Being right down the road from FORD's truck plant we get hammered with a lot of corrections when they have problems or things happen after they leave the loading lot. These things are never reported even to the dealer.

JiroZero713 glad to hear you're reaching closure on the problems. Hopefully this is the only issue you will ever have out of a long and satisfying ownership. Best Wishes! |

Update: Was told they are just waiting on the claim to come through. Then I'll get my RS. Hopefully it's this week and not next.

What the dealer did was shady. I wouldn't have rewarded them for their behavior. They should have immediately notified you of what happened and given you options. It's not what happened that is at issue here, it's how they handled it.
Possible future customers would appreciate whatever warning you can provide them so they can avoid this shady outfit. I see a lot of threads like this. Are all dealers scumbags? |

I'd steer clear from swapping bumpers or repaint. The chance of the two brand new bumpers matching is minuscule, prepared to see different shades in different lighting conditions.

Since we are on the subject I would like to add this...
I know of a 10 series manual that is still on the lot that has been jumped backwards, has had fuses blown and a chemical spilt on the paint during post PDI cleanup. It was sent to a body shop and repainted. The first owner will have no idea.. I've wanted to post this for some time. I've also seen this same dealership crack a block during a transmission job and replaced it without the customer knowing anything. |

Something still very fishy here. I bet next you will be back saying they are ordering a new bumper and it will take 8 weeks more. Shit at this rate you will be able to get a 2016 before the RS is done.

Claim went through my car is being built now with my cold air intake. I'll be picking her up in less than a week but is the paint and door ding warranty really worth it? I'd hate to spend 1400 bucks on something that is useless. After everything that has happened the assholes are still trying to sell me shit.

The door ding warranty is awesome. That I definitely suggest (although I always forget to bring it up to my customers ). I got the tire/wheel/windshield/ding package for 5 years on my car. I've already used it to remove three door dings I got from some careless coworker (never found out who dinged my door). |

749 bucks for ding protection sounds to steep.

My package lets me replace my original tires instead of repairing them, fixes light curb rash, replaces windshields, and paintless dent repairs for five years (no deductible from me). Just getting rid of those three dings I got already covered at least half of the package price. I'll most likely claim the windshield within the five years as I've heard the twin's windshield is prone to cracks/chips.
