Disappointed with new California Special

[SVTdriver]

My boyfriend was trying to get aftermarket parts for the interior and that when we found out that the a/c / heat knobs will not come off. Anyone know anything on these yet????

There are companies working on this right now. none have aproduct out yet. But they should be soon.

I've noticed quite a few GTs in each of the Ford dealerships (the $150k GT). There was a retro schemed GT and a red one at a local dealership.

FWIW, I rather like the 2 tone colors, but not that charcoal/camel combo. I prefer the light graphite interior with the black seats and black carpet, but I was not about to pay $300 for a color combo change that costs $0 at the factory.

I saw the GT/CS package in person and while it wasn't too shabby, i wasn't going to pay that much money for some body cladding. While the rear diffuser is the same as the GT500, I wasn't impressed by the other parts enough to go with the GT/CS.

Thanks for the feedback. I will keep looking around to see who will make the replacement part first. I know that someone will since I was just at a show here back in November and every new mustang that I looked at had all of the knobs changed out and it made the interior's look so much nicer.

Where did you get the GT CS for the rear brake light?

CS/GT is a nice looking car, if you don't like.....just don't buy it!!! Easy enuff?

68 and the 2007 are both dress up package s i think you get the bang for the buck its a gt premium first lots of people all want the 18 wheels the 2 tones seats are cool lots of people order the side scoups aftermarket its a differnt facisa and they are limited looks like less than the gt500 i wish they had added a little more power . the gt350 h is just a cal special with a shelby hood and ford cold air

My thoughts when I ordered my GT/CS. I sat and starting checking off all the goodies that I would add to the GT. By the time I got done, I had most of the extras that come on the CS. So, for the extra $1900 or so (probably similar in price to what I was adding anyway), not only did I get all the extras I wanted anyway, but I got a lower front fascia, some CS labeled items, the side scoops, a unique color combo for the interior, and the rims I wanted. I'd say it was worth it. It also stands apart a little from the standard GT.

Lots of folks on this board are going to mod their cars anyway. So, the CS probably seems like a waste. But, plenty of folks simply buy a GT, leave it stock, and drive the wee out of it. For those folks, the CS will probably stand out a bit more. Also, I have been buying my Fords from a fleet manager friend for years and my out the door price will be about the same as a GT anyway. Could Ford have separated it a bit more? I suppose so. But, look at all the rumors of other custom models destined for the future. It's just like stringing out a dope fiend. You don't give them the whole stash all at once, you just keep them coming back for more a little at a time...........

Where did you get the GT CS for the rear brake light?

Did you get an answer for this? Is that stock? I haven't had a chance to have someone check mine yet.

I like mine same car almost as the Shelby GT & 10,000 less.

I never cared for the hood scoop. First, it looks like a tin can and second, it looks llike an afterthought. Third, if it is not functional does it create some level of drag or is it negligable? There, I plunked in my 2 cents.
