I have been tracking as well. Mine also is in Tokyo and appears to be on container 1 ready for international shipping. I am hoping that the container 1 is a air shipment container and not an cargo ship container?

lets hope, but it could be there for a day or a few days...I know NYC can be very slow.

It looks like mine cleared customs at 06:45 this morning and was enroute to the postal facility for further shipment?

My order departed the USPS Regional Facility in Chicago at 18:08 enroute. Looking better and better for a Monday or Tuesday delivery.

i had good news also. I just received a message the parts are an hour away in Orlando...I should have it by Monday.

other than the initial snafu with ordering, I am very impressed with the speed of shipping. Three days is very fast to travel from Tokyo to Orlando.

I agree. If this goes well for me I might put in an order for the parts for the son's SC off your list. I hope you will share some photos of the rear cover that you make using the rear cover you all ready have as a template?

Will yours be installed by Monday? Looking for those cushion hole patterns and the bracket hole pattern. Just saying that the Pebble Beach PGA event could be recorded on the DVR?

I found an 18" spare in "Letgo" app for $20. I test fitted on the car and trunk. I'm rolling on 19's and I'm lowered, I was doubting fitment with a smaller size since I'm lowered, so now im looking at Bgw70 set up.
Just wanted to share that an 18" spare fits.

Does the rear trunk scuff plate just pull straight up? Heading to Tulsa Tuesday so will pick up the rest of my parts.
