Default Anyone expecting their RCF soon?

I ordered my RCF Feb. 9th. Anxiously awaiting the arrival. It left port May 8th and was estimated to hit the shore June 5th but still hasn't arrived. The aftermarket wheels and tires were set to arrive at the dealer tomorrow, but still won't have a car to go on!
Anyone else expecting their RCF soon? Just wondering if perhaps someone else has an RCF on the same boat!
Who knew it took over a month to cross the freaking ocean!

I ordered mine on Feb. 9th as well! Mine reached the states on June 2nd. I've been told it will arrive at the dealer between June 12-17th! I'm hoping to take delivery this weekend
This has been an exercise in patience!

Apparently your boat driver knew a short cut. Actually I was mistaken. When you said you ordered yours the same day I looked and mine was ordered the 19th! Thought that was way too coincidental. So what all did you get, colors, etc.?

Actually, mine was a week late on the boat, then they told me 12-14 days to the dealer. Funny, you can track just about anything these days to get an exact arrival date, but you cannot track a 75g car!

USB 2.0/stratus gray
Hand polished wheels
Leather trim, moonroof
Mark Levinson pkg
Premium pkg.


I opted for the wheel/tire protection pkg thru Lexus 599.00/5 years
And the interior pkg 599.00/7 years

As soon as I receive my beast, it's going straight to the detailer for CQuartz Finest, Xpel on the hood and wheel protection!!! Then off to get the tint guy to get 3M crystalline 40% tint with 90% on windshield and my Escort Passport hardwired with a blend mount. So my journey in learning the art of patience continues! Who knows when I will actually get to drive it!!! Ha ha ha

All the ports here in Long Beach are pretty congested. Most terminals are having chassis shortages as well. Expect delays.

I ordered my brilliant white with performance package (CF roof, wing, TVD) on March 13th. As of last Saturday my dealer told me it's 5 - 6 wks out, but who knows. Since I currently live in the southeast, mine is supposed to come in to Jacksonville, FL if I understand them correctly. Based on what you fellas are saying, I'm guessing I'll probably be looking at late July or even mid - late Aug.

Got word yesterday that mine should be boarding a train Monday and will be at the dealership w/i 7-10 days! I am in the northeast.
Nebula Gray with Red interior. Fully spec'd out except for wheels. The custom Forgestar F14 piano black super concave wheels will be at the dealership on Monday waiting for the car to arrive.

Awesome. Sounds really cool. Pictures of that combo with those wheels would be cool.

No problem man! I'll be happy to oblige with some photos
I plan to do a few other things as well that may delay the photos a bit. I am having the calipers powder coated to match the interior red leather and I'm going to have the chrome around the windows wrapped in black. Gotta tint the windows as well. I'm on a wait list for the Apex'i exhaust and hope to get it by months end... sigh... i've had over 4 months to wait and plan and wait some more. Just ready for the car to get here!

Date range for dealership to receive the car was 12-17th. Went in today to finalize all paperwork (secretly hoping it was there) and was told it is scheduled to arrive Monday. Had a chance to see the hand polished wheels in person and nearly wet myself. Road, I feel sorry for you

haha, you're female right? If so, nice to see a woman get so excited on a performance luxury GT car, and USB to boot!

Awesome. The wheel and tire package may actually be a worthy investment. I have already had to replace a rim and tire due to a pot hole.
