    Do a search. You will find quite a bit. I like it. The Shelby GT has some of the parts.

    In my opinion, it is not worth the money. Even my salesperson thinks the same.

    I wouldn't do it on your own, would cost too much. you are better off buying it out right or buying a used one.

    However, next year the Camaro and Challenger comes out, so who knows what Ford will do to keep the Stang relevant.

    I bought it & love it, the interior is worth it, I changed wheels & the hood but only to have a functional hood, the rest is perfect.

    Nope, it is the same ride height as a normal GT. The only difference is the front valance is 1" lower to the ground because of the actual size of the front bumper cover. The ride height is the same.

    I am very happy with my CS purchase because: 1. The interior is a two tone gray and black combo that is not available on regular Mustangs. 2. It comes with the 18" polished wheels which I would have ordered on a GT anyway. 3. It has the front and rear facias of the Shelby so it stands out slightly from regular GTs. 4. I like the GT/CS side stripes which deletes the GT chrome badge (IMO that badge is a bit cheesy). 5. It has the polished exhaust tips. In short - I love the Mustang GT body style but wanted to have a car that was not like every GT on the road and I didn't want to go aftermaket to do that. I could have modified any GT as well, but then if I were to do that I would have bought a used GT since it would cost more to modify a new one; especially with painting the body pieces and redoing the seats.

    I like the car too. No dealers in my area seem to order any. I'd love to see one up close and personal. I like the idea of two-tone interiors and am thinking about putting in custom leather to get that.

    I have the GT/CS and i love the different styling. My Father is a dealer and he said that the only way you can get the polished 18 inch wheels with a 5 speed is by getting the CS package (thats how i ended up with it). the wheels are on short supply and are not shipping any reguar GT with them. Also the 2 toned interior and the different front end look much better than the stock model.

    See, you can't trust a dealer not even if he's your own father. ;)

    Got 18" polished wheels?

    My black 07' 5-speed GT came with the polished 18" wheels also. They are in my garage if anyone wants them.
