    add-ons are crazy expensive

    I agree completely, but this fact remains: it's our fault. We don't HAVE to have any of this stuff. Every time you buy an overpriced item, you're encouraging their behavior. They don't care if you like the price, they only care if you paid or not. If they continue to sell a satisfactory number...

    " Crying" why not a 5.4?

    Ha! I bet! My Dad has an early 90's Ford dually with an auto V10... he loves being able to bark the tires in second while pulling a load! Something that size in a Mustang would be s-c-a-r-y! :D ~SM

    Ponybuilder Site = Fun!

    http://www.ponybuilder.com/Mustang.html?chosenCar=GTCoupe I'm sure many of you have already run across this, but I just found it today, and I thought some of the prospective owners (myself included) might find it useful. Certainly not all the available accessories, but a very nice selection...

    Need some pics

    I REALLY want a ducktail, but I hate the way Cervini (and others) makes the plates run all the way down the rear deck. Seems pointless, and adds to the "stick-on" look of it. Cervini has some cool ideas, but I'm not crazy about the way they implement them. Their hoods do the same thing... stick...

    Front End, from stock to NOT

    I'm REALLY diggin' those headlights! They're perfectly suited for the splitters, moreso than the regular lights. I actually think it would look kinda' cool if you kept the stock fogs with them though... 3 sets of lights in a triangular formation. I may give that a try when mine comes in! ~SM

    Fog lights on or off ?

    Oooo, good idea. I'll have to keep that one in mind. ~SM

    Is it impolite to say your fiance is hot? :nice: Oh, BTW, nice car! :D ~SM

    Looking for a hood, need help.

    I saw a hood on a website awhile back that looked very similar to the Cervini vintage hood, but was done in steel, not fiberglass... they had pics of it unpainted. Also, it was available solid or ready for the Shaker intake. Anyone know where I can find that again? Here's a pic of Cervini's...

    advice please...

    I was always under the impression that painted black hoods on not-black cars were poor 'folks pretending they could afford carbon fiber...? :D (not the partially painted ones like above... those obviously have some rhyme and reason to the color scheme). ~SM

    6th gear and shedding weight

    LMFAO! :rlaugh: Best line ever! ~SM

    6th gear and shedding weight

    I agree. A lot of people have a hard time wrapping their head around this idea, and automatically consider the larger, simpler engines as "crude". Take my bike for example. I have an '06 Buell XB12Ss, which (as the name implies) has a 1200cc engine. There are import bikes out there with half...

    The Truth About Taped-On Spoilers?

    Wow, I had no idea! Guess they've come a long way. Thanks for the info! :flag: ~SM

    The Truth About Taped-On Spoilers?

    Okay, so my GT is due in the next couple of weeks, and of course I can't help but to start daydream shopping online for all the available goodies. I plan on going as retro as possible (when I have the $$$, of course), so my 1st thought was a duck tail spoiler. I made sure to get the spoiler...

    Gremilin can wax a '05 Mustang GT?

    I LOVE Pacers. Gremlins are cool too. I have an unhealthy fascination with ugly cars. Actually owned a '72 Honda Z600 for awhile. :D ~SM (Not mine, BTW, mine was yellow)

    S197 in Fast and Furious 4

    I liked the first F&F. Decent flick, all things considered. The second one sucked. I swear, the writer should have been hung... the blond guy said "bro" literally every other line, if not more. And the drawbridge race jump was utterly ridiculous... no way in hell a unibody could withstand a...

    What can I do with my Customer #?

    I ordered a Mustang GT last Friday, but just got my customer order number today. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with it. Can I use it to look up the progress of my car somewhere, like a tracking number? Or is it for something else? The dealership didn't mention anything about it...

    MPG-Again!

    Hey, I wonder if the other gauges go red also? Think the temp goes red if it gets too hot, or the batt goes red if the voltage drops too low? ~SM

    Prospective owner asks: V6 or V8?

    Well, today is the day! After work my wife and I are heading over to place an order for an '08 GT Deluxe, Vista Blue w/ Light Graphite interior, Interior Upgrade, Spoiler Delete option, everything else stock. Hurray! :D ~SM

    MPG-Again!

    Seems like more and more cool features keep showing up with the interior upgrade gauges. They should really talk about them more on the Ford website. ~SM
