Default A7 has arrived.

Picked up new A7 last friday, daytona grey, innovation, led lights. Love it. Was reading some posting about clear bra, day after I picked it up I took a big leap and installed it myself. I ordered Avery Nano Fusion from Clear Defender (used the 2012 kit fit perfectly on my 2013). I have never done this before but found it pretty easy, watched a few You Tube videos. All you need is time and patience and a helper (wife did great). Front shot has clear bra installed on hood, bumper and lights just finishing mirrors.

How long was the wait from date of release to manufacture. Mine was released to manufacture on 08/21 and I want to learn of your experience.

I don't have a good answer for the time it took. I placed an order with diplomatic car sales originally back in Mar for a 2012. They changed the production line during my order, so revised to a 13. Getting information from the sales person was a little hard. But it was roughly 2 months production to delivery. Good news took a little longer but wouldn't budge on the 12 price originally quoted.
