Default Finally have my F-Type!

Picked her up on Saturday! 2016 R Coupe - Polaris White, Jet with Ivory stitching interior, vision, extended leather, illuminated treadplates. I'm absolutely in love with this car. The last day has been some of the most fun driving I've ever done.

I also want to thank all of you on this forum who took the time to patiently answer all of my million questions. Huge help in the buying process and in teaching me about the car. In the process of deciding on this car I drove about 10 other types of cars and then waffled between 2 variants of the F-Type (S vs R) and three different colors (Polaris White, IRR, and Storm Grey.). In the end, I'm very happy with my choice (though if I took this long to decide things at work I'd be very unemployed )

Next steps are window tinting (may try to do this today) and aftermarket stereo install (ask me if you want details). Also likely going to do laser jammer install. After that, I'm debating on whether I want to powder coat or replace the wheels (I'm in love with the tornadoes) and whether I want to get the black hood louvers.

That was the other color combo I was considering when I bought mine. Nice!

Nice! How did you find them? I worked with Darren Martins there who was incredible! By far the most responsive car salesman I've ever dealt with.

Drove up there from Atlanta because I liked them so much (and disliked Jaguar of Buckhead so much..)

BTW, see you are in Fort Mill. My parents used to live in one of the senior communities up there. Really nice area.

Maybe some bias showing, Foosh.

Anyway, congrats on your new toy. Between you and drbill, it's nice to have a couple of new cats in this part of the country.

Beautiful, man...

My preference had been white, but got talked into BRG by family. Glad I did. Simply love it... but... if not BRG, white!

The only problem I can see with mine is the car driving in front of me! Each time I get in it, I just turn into a little kid. Hope you have the same experience!

I found them via true car. Drove down to order the car in September. Worked with David Hanna. Nice guy. I live in Indian Land; office in Charlotte.
They saved me about $6500 so worth the drive. They even talked me into the Resistall package. Not sure if it's worthwhile, but what the heck. Your car looks great.

BRG looks beautiful too! If I'd had the opportunity to see it in person I might have also been convinced!
