Went to a local Ford Dealership to test drive a sold ST and the delivery truck just arrived with 6 new Misc vehicles. One was a 2021 ST that wasnt sold. We grabbed it. 6 buyers called on it after it arrived. Lucky Find. Funny they are still producing 2021 vehicles in late October. 85EE5535-C3BA-48A0-B559-3987763384C2.jpeg

Nice! Congrats. Mine is a 10/21 build as well, I declined the dealer's car wash and removed most of the stickers myself.

It was delivered with the frame riveted on. Got the plugs from bumperplugs.com $29 for two plugs but.... you can pick your color. The third hole i just used a flat black plug i had from another project.

Was yours a custom order? I have a 22 nearing production and I as well would like to avoid the dealer doing any car wash. Wondering if that’s something they ask or if I should reach out early and let them know.

NEVER let the dealer wash your car or buff it.

I always custom order. You must let them know upfront and be very serious about it. My dealership knows I won't take it home if they let their lot personnel do their normal thing. Tell them you want it delivered in the plastic. Seats and floors will have their covers and common contact areas on the exterior will also still be covered. Then go home and do a top-notch detail and get your LSP on it.

Now I will make this comment. When mine showed up it had clear molded plastic covers on the red calipers. I had never seen this before and didn't spot it. I started to get a funny smell on the way home and pulled over to check it out. I got this off before it melted but it could have been a mess and I'd have no one but myself to blame.
