About the no VIN comment... One thing I learned is that the VIN link that folks have been sending around does not actually indicate if you have a VIN or not. It shows that I don't have a VIN too, but when I called the dealership I did indeed have a VIN and called SVT to verify. SVT guys are a little cranky about the VIN links people have been using because they aren't accurate...sorry if this is a repeat. My internet connection seems to make this forum site super slow and its hard to read through discussions.

What VIN link? There is no such thing... If you're referring to the Window Sticker then that's a whole other thing.

Not trying to rub salt in the wound here but good chance you're probably looking at a 2012 build date. X-Mas/New Years would probably be to blame.....

Hope I'm wrong for your sake though.

watch my luck Ford will get their *** in gear next year like they do for the Mustangs, where the new model year is in full swing before the old calendar year is even done, and the 2013 Raptors will be rolling out late next summer lol, and probably in sterling gray with the 3.5 EB too haha

VIN Link vs. Windows sticker... my bad, I was confusing in my early reply. The windows sticker tool used to view your truck sticker based on VIN. I was under the opinion that my VIN wasn't legit until I saw data there, however this not related. After some calls to my dealership I was given a VIN. I called SVT @ 18003673788 #1 to confirm it was in the system. With a build date of next week, I still don't see a window sticker in the earlier link sent out. My build priority was 19 if that helps. I believe someone mentioned pri 10 is the best.

Now I'll get back to searching for ways to fill the accessory switches..

Yep, you can probably guess.. I called SVT today and they bumped my build date again.. now 12/21. So consistantly they've bumped the build every week. Perhaps this is the treatment for any priority build less than 10

Same for me.. I was bumped to 12/19 and now it's 12/21.. SVT said it shouldn't be bumped much more and he was fairly certain that date would hold.

Until I get a window sticker it's a jump ball but hey, I'm close so I'm happy, just anxious.

Sterling gray and Dark Pearl Blue. I'm sure they will offer DPB in 13 since I'm ordering a 12. ...and they will announce it the day after I take delivery. Man, the forum is FULL of 1st world problems today.
