Order to delivery time

I'm trying to decide what to do about tinting. I've ordered from Moritz too. Do they normally apply 30% to all the windows and the top windows too? I'm a little concerned that if they do that the back windows will be too dark since they already have a tint and night driving might be a problem. If so, I'm thinking about just asking for 30% tint for the front windows and the top. Dunno.

The level of tint isn't as important as the heat blocking capability. Get the best quality UV/IR blocking tint to keep out the heat. Here in MN they limit the level of tint on the driver and passenger windows, so I'm getting the XPEL XR+ Nano-Ceramic, High Infrared Rejection film.

Naa they didnt do 30% on all windows. the front is much lighter than the back. And I dont think the top was tinted either. There's definitely good lighting even at night. I actually wanted a darker front too but Moritz dfw said they only do based on state recommendations.

Any chance I could get update on the status of VIN 5XYP5DHC8MG119467? Is it showing in transit at this point? Still 10/1 arrival?
Thanks!!

Typo.. he should of put priority 1.. if it was picked up you should have an initial ETA now. Did they provide you one. Also that isn’t officially sent over that is the correct screen but they saved it and didn’t submit on that screen. Might of been just to give you a price quote. If it was submitted then you would have a long serial number saying request ID #.. also would say “yes” on sold order at top and beneath it would be all your personal information (name, address, phone and email)

@StephenCantrelle could you tell me how dealers get VIN #'s? My dealer said he doesn't;t have a VIN # yet, but on Failcat the Wolf Gray that they had allocated is on there, so I am assuming it's the one I put the deposit on. It has an ETA of 21 Oct according to the dealer. Is it possible for Failcat to have the VIN before the dealer sees it?

The dealer did not get an initial September allocation; however, he said that Kia contacted him and offered 2 SXs’ for dealer inventory...since my order was first is line he ordered it with the options I had chosen for my original order. He gave my an eta of 12/17/20. He did send it as I requested a price quote.

Dealers see before failcat does. Post Vin number and your initials and I can see if they have a name attached to it that matches yours

VIN 5XYP5DHC0MG122928

This was an allocated unit not ordered, so I am not sure if it would have my name attached to it? My initials are DM though.

I really trust my salesman, not sure how or why he couldn't have in before failcat.

Winner winner chicken dinner! It’s a match with your name. ETA 10-20
 
Sweet! So how do they attach my name onto the VIN if its not a custom order? Thought that was reserved for custom orders.

Thanks Stephen!
Newish feature they added so we can keep track internally. Great idea really so 2 people don’t reserve same Telluride
