jaybertx Congrats on the car,that color is SWEEET. Tinting the windows should keep your shift knob cool enough. No need for a sock:rlaugh:. Now if you lived in a cold weather state you'd need a sock to keep your fingers from getting frost bite! Kind of a non-issue in Florida.

I've had no shift knob issues as of yet but then I park in a garage at work and the garage at home. I have a couple of micro fiber towels in the car in cast it gets too hot! :) I got the tint installed today and will have a detail session in the morning but then will take some newer pictures with the tint. It just looks WICKED with the tint. Love it!!

Thank you everyone for the compliments. I've now had it 8 days and am at close to 400 miles. Every day I walk out to my garage and just shake my head that I finally have the car and the grin doesn't leave my face for the entire drive to work. I have a 10 mile round-trip commute so the rest of the miles are just pleasure miles! :-D

Nice!!! You have a pic of the beast with the tint? What % did ya use for the tint?

On a side note, my monster arrived yesterday!! I'll be picking her up Monday! I'm like a 5yr old a couple days before Christmas. *cough*cough* Gonna take a sick day at work Monday I think :)

I do plan on adding exhaust eventually but at this point I think I'm going with the GT500 exhaust.

I don't have a tint pic yet. I got the tint done yesterday but it's rainy today so I won't be able to get a pic. Maybe tomorrow. I went legal with it here in FL so it's 28% in the front and 15 on the triangles and rear. I think it looks great. Pics ASAP!

Funny you should mention that... my boss asked me when my car was coming in a few weeks ago. I told him that he'd know when I got it because it would be the day before I called in sick. :D Congrats on the car! PICS when you get it!

The factory that made some of the pigment for Lava Red, Kona Blue and Red Candy was damaged in the earthquake/tsunami in March. Because of that Lava Red is unavailable for order for the rest of the model year. Kona Blue they expect to be exhausted by August. For job 2, they are bringing back Sterling Grey to replace Lava Red and Sonic Blue to replace Kona. They have a different formula for Red Candy to replace Red Candy. The tsunami is also responsible for the lack of Mustang (and I suspect other) navigation units. You can not longer order a 2012 Mustang with Nav.

Hey jaybertx

Finally got my beast. Ford took care of the issue with the missing 3.73 option on the order. Love the hell outta the girl. Here's a quick pic I took looking down from my apt deck.

That is a beautiful car.!! Please tell us you have garages in your apartment complex. It's a shame to let something that nice sit in a parking lot.

That's the best picture of the LR I have ever seen! Even your spoiler shows the highlights! :nice:

That color seems to be the "red" version of Kona Blue. Looks black most of the time. ;)

Yeah, first thing I thought was how bad I would hate it if I had to park my stang next to somebody else. At work, I can park on the end of a row and let it hang out in the aisle some. In other parking lots I park way the hell out there by myself. I can't even imagine parking it in an apartment complex.

Congrats on the car. Lava Red is an awesome color. If it had been available on the 2011s, I probably would have gotten it when I ordered (mine is Kona Blue).

It seems like the earthquake wiped out the three best colors, which is really a shame. Sterling Grey isn't exactly a replacement for Lava Red. If I remember right, Sonic Blue isn't nearly as good as Kona Blue either (it tends to look like a flat purple in dim light). Have to wait and see what the reformulated Red Candy actually looks like.
