I have been waiting since the 1st. We ordered a bone stock TC so they had to ship it in. I got a call monday saying the car was in port in houston and I got a phone call Thursday of this week saying it hasnt left yet. Financing has been done since the first so we are just waiting on the car. I got painted silver on the website they look a little bit darker than your plain silver so we shall see when they get here. funny thing is this is the wifes car and she said she wanted all these mods. When I bought my Legacy Gt it had 18 miles on the odom and 4 months later it was finished with a turbo swap, fmic, entire suspension etc etc and was done with the build and alot lighter in my checking account. So we are gonna boost this car once she gets use to how it handles after all the suspension goodies. I told her I am actually getting jealous of her car haha. I just have a vision with the cars I have and I will just build what I want as fast as possible and enjoy it afterwards.

awe, i was hoping for bronze. where'd you order the rims from, tire rack??
as far as the wait, 11 days is cake. i waited 3.5 months for an AP from one stealership, but the sales guy was terrible and kept giving me the run-around and lying about when the car would be here. so i went to another one and waited a month. after waiting on the second stealership, the first one called saying my ordered car was ON THE LOT--no warning like they usually do to let you know it left japan or arrived in port. so i went to check it out knowing full well i didn't want it, b/c of the past 3.5 months and the terrible comms. i waited for a month for my second choice, flint, after ordering it. but that was back in 05 when tCs were a rarity, now it's an oxymoron to say rare tC. LOL

We finally took delivery on the 14th. The color is gorgeous in person. I am waiting on the rims to get here which will be another 60-90 days. I changed the rim choice to the new Advan RZ's in gunmetal. I cant wait. I already installed the hotckis Rear sway, Tein SS-p and edfc, Pioneer AVIC d3 and back up camera and she just got tinted on Friday. I need to install the front sway bar soon and then its just the wait on the wheels. I will post pics as soon as the wheels get here. I just dont feel right posting a pic with the car not at the right stanec and on stock wheels. Great thing about the wheels that the wife dont know about yet is they fit my Legacy Gt perfectly so I will be driving on them for a bit and she will drive with my Wedsport Sa-70's back and forth

Here's my '09, 99% stock. I'm still loving this color every second I look at it, no second thoughts about it at all! I especially like the way it looks from above with the glass roof, black/blue look.
