oh wow I didn’t even catch that, and this is a 2022 not 2023…that is annoying

Missing the classic mud flaps, raised air intake, and hood decal. I think I dodged a bullet on the decal though, black on black probably wouldn’t have looked good. Obviously I can easily add those later if I want

Complain to your dealer about the blue calipers, LR has a program to replace them if requested by buyer.

I don't think blue calipers are available on any 2023 trim per the ordering guide.

I’d love to switch to black calipers. I really don’t care for the blue.

New calipers are $2100. You could ask a dealer if there is someone that wants to do the opposite. I personally prefer the blue, a bit more quirky than black.

I did not know that. I would be happy to do the swap myself. Does anyone have the part numbers by chance?

I really hope mine has the blue. If not, I will check with the dealer to see if they can swap them as you mentioned earlier. I heard they are lighter with better stopping power and they shave 0.2 sec off the 0-60 time. But that might just be a rumour started by me.....
