I've seen some posts ***** about the wood on steering wheel not matched with the rest. I don't have an issue with this but if perfect match is your expectation, then you should check. Check the vehicle in sun light where you can really see how they look. I really didn't check mine that much. I just walked around the car to make sure no paint scratch, checked the tint to make sure no bubble. I spent about 15 minutes with the guy showing me the "technologies". I just wanted to get the car. I know where I can get more information when I need to.

PS: From my personal experience, if you can get the car unwrapped, I would. Then find a trusted detailer to do a new car prep and put some coats on for the paint. Either 22PLE or Opti Coat. Congrats by the way. Waiting is exciting.

Check to make sure that the blinker fluid is full.

My car came with an empty blinker fluid and the blinks stopped working after I got on the freeway...
