Did something similar in my Seneca Blue, was halfway through black PPF on the roof when I decided I wanted to try keeping the blue A-pillars too. Might finish the job at a later date, kind of like how it looks right now.
Was talking with Paul again when I brought my car in for oil change, it seems they've gone ahead and partnered with a new PPF installer/detailer, they're now using Mina from Le Mans Detailing. They're definitely a reputable shop with lots of customers in the local Porsche and Mclaren groups.
Lux tax would only apply on new car purchases, or the first time it is entering Canada, so it's slightly different from HST/RST which gets applied every time there is a new owner.
I think 'out the door' pricing is ranging between low $150s (if no lux tax) to mid $160s (with lux tax), also...
Just a little update for the members who I was discussing my PPF journey with.
(Background info for those who haven't) - I took my car to MakeItShine Detailing for a full car PPF and black PPF on the roof. We decided to go with STEK Dynashield (they also had Xpel Ultimate). Kaval had laid...
I was #30 with a July 2021 deposit. I know a few other people who picked up their cars were around my deposit # and time frame. From what I recall, Gentry had about 12 allocations at first, of the FE1, and then when FE2 was announced that's when they received more allocations to take actual...
@ Mods, Is there any way we can move this into the regional - Canada subforum? I think it would be more relevant there and would help more local GTA (Greater Toronto Area) members find this thread.
Just an update, spoke with Brian from GL re: the HVAC/AC motor resistor. There is a "Service Bulletin" published by Lotus already, so these will all eventually get replaced on the Emiras. However, there is not available stock on the revised parts yet, so GL is currently replacing any faulty...
Been reading up on the USA/Canada delivery thread, and it's insane how much the freight/pdi fees have gone up in the past month. Any one take delivery recently at Gentry? Are they still around the $5k mark? Seems like Montreal has upped their price to match Vancouver/Calgary and are now at...
It's a common and well-reported problem. I would suggest giving GL a quick call to give them a heads up, so they know how many of their parts are going to be used up and can restock before they run out. As I understand it though, they've already pre-emptively ordered enough for this part to be...
Thanks for creating this thread! I would love to get to know all the other local Emira owners.
Overall, my experience has been really great with Gentry Lane (at least since the cars actually arrived on North American soil). I've driven 800km on the car so far, and had no issues until yesterday...
damn, sorry to hear your troubles. Do you know if yours was an earlier build? Just trying to see if these are problems that may have been fixed subsequently.
I'm at about 700km now and no issues so far, also staying under the 4k rpm break-in threshold.
Hi! I ordered via Gentry and they charged me $4,988, but I've been told they upped their price since. I've also been told that Calgary and Vancouver are charging upwards of $8k-9k and many customers there are understandably upset about it.
Keep in mind that the Emira has a TON of curves where the film will need to be stretched, this will add a lot of time to application if it is to be done properly and done well. As well, the amount of time to apply PPF will vary largely depending on if you wrap edges or not.
Things like: Are...
Guess we're the lucky ones! Ordered with Gentry around same time July '21, #30. FE2, Seneca Blue, V6 Manual. No black pack.
& will be ordering the black exhaust tips, just like you.
AFAIK, of the 13 that arrived at Gentry, 1 is a demo car (Seneca Blue w/ Black pack), 12 customer cars in...
Was speaking with Paul from Gentry Lane last week, Gentry Lane has 12 now + 1 dealer demo car. When he spoke with the truck driver delivering all the Emiras, he heard that 4 cars have been delivered to Oakville.
All 12 have arrived at Gentry Lane now, as posted on their instagram. 13 cars in total, 12 customer orders + 1 demo car. As has been mentioned before, these are a mix of FE1 and FE2 cars, and not in order that they were placed or ordered. Seems to just be luck of the draw.
Went into Gentry...
