Yea I saw that thread a couple days ago, I've had my wing for a while now and don't feel like going through the hassle of removing it lol. I will say that 3m tape holds up like a mofo!

Aw man I was planning to do the Carbon Fiber: splitter, hood, roof top, door trim, side skirts, wing and rear diffuser. Is that too much?
Time to cancel my Rexpeed order. ?

Well you have to keep in mind all the carbon fiber trees that are getting wiped out because of you all. I mean whole forests of prime Carbon fiber trees being cut down and clear cut every day!!!

Those jokers are smoking crack; Dealers in the KY area are offering 3.0 Premiums at @$5k off of sticker as a starting point.Ok couldn't wait for tomorrow so took a test drive tonight. My GF loved the car.
However, the salesman (we're in NY) said:
1) Price is $10k - $15k over sticker!
2) A Toyota plant shut down and they cannot order cars and hardly get any Supras.
3) He also said they fly off the lot but the two they had were nearly there a year?
4) Said all dealerships (regardless of make) are the same due to low supply as a result of COVID.
Can anyone offer any input? I don't think these are selling as hot as he made out but who knows.

PURCHASED!!! 
First impressions - it's AWESOME! GF loves it!
The ride quality is excellent (in comparison to my X3MC) and steering a lot more forgiving (M cars are pretty brutal).
We ended up going with Dealer #2 after they called and apologized for the manager's behavior. It was local and the best deal (~9% off MSRP) so we were ok with it. Sales kid was nice throughout.
Prep quality was not what I am used to - still some dirt/grease spots around, wheels were not to my standards (inside of wheels were dirty in spots), windshield had streaks, and they didn't vacuum behind the driver's seat (she has it nearly all the way up). Overall it was passable but I will be detailing this weekend.
We are also going to get pricing on full PPF/Ceramic coating so they will do the paint correction (noticed fine clear coat swirls on the headlights and hood emblem).
But I'm nit-picky and super anal when it comes to cars. I'm sure most people wouldn't notice. Important thing is no damage so I'll take it from here!
BIG THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP

Thanks!
Part of me wanted to but it was so filthy from sitting on the lot (and being white) I wanted to see if there was any damage.
My BMW X3MC was strait from the factory and the dealership actually did a good job for prep (as commented on by the PPF guy).
Not the case here but that's ok. Other than being barely able to fit in it or see out of it I love this car!

Have the exact same car as you. Best upgrade I can recommend is a steering wheel. Really, the only part that is lacking. Totally transforms the interior and the driving feel. The CF hood vents are an improvement over stock as well. You'll want to do some coding, mainly to eliminate the nanny-nags at startup. Congrats! Fantastic automobile.
