I just put the US Millworks on my 2013, about two months ago. I have no complaints, though it would have been nice if they ground a set of flats on the ball flange so you could pop a c-wrench on it for tightening it easier.

thanks J for the heads up/feedback!
and yea S65, i was told actually by my CA production week of oct 7th, luckily it happend 5 days earlier for me, once your car gets put into production the wait tension gets alleviated almost immediately, for me I was scared of the captain of my ship pulling a George Clooney from the Perfect Storm, and also how heavily the gas situation would impact my trying to fill up upon receiving the car, luckily from what i have heard / seen in tristate, that problem has been solved...at least I will know on wednesday lol (when i pick up)...btw if you want I used two different websites to track my boat, one for when it was immediately in the coast, another for when it was crossing the atlantic i can pm or post here whichever you prefer |

^ used this for when ship was just leaving Bremerhaven, fairly accurate no prob bro, this is the site i used for mid atlantic segment of the voyage: (when ship is out of AIS range) http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/ this site takes time to update as in the ship pings like once every 12-20 hours...but the info is accurate best free resource imo, also its easiest to enter ship callsign which you can get from W&W's main site or from the marinetraffic site hope it helps! |

I used the front license plate holder with double sided tape on the top to secure it. It clips in from the bottom, and then one must layer the double sided tape on the top so that it comes in contact with the bumper.
It looks like it was drilled but I can take it off with no problems. I've had it on for a while now with no issues from the weather. |
