2008 Ford Mustang GT JUST ORDERED!!

I went in today after the order guide was published and placed an order!!!

I'd first like to thank all the members with the information published on this web page. Over the few months while waiting for the order banks to open. I've been reading through the various posts and such.


Dealer made the process really easy and sweet. Requested that holes aren't drilled and no stickers and he said that it'd be no problem.

Package: GT Premium
Exterior Color: Black
Interior Color: Dark Charcoal

On top of the Standard Equipment, I got the following:

- Active Anti-Theft System (Required for HID)
- HID Headlamps
- Ambient Lighting
- Interior Upgrade Package
- Satin Aluminum Instrument Panel
- Power Code Remote Start System
- All Weather Floor Mats
- Chrome Exhaust Tips

Something that the dealer mentioned about the ambient lighting that I thought was interesting, is that it works along side with MYCOLOR!!!


Now, I can't wait to get it!!!

That's pretty cool. If it changes all the backlighting for everything like the centre stack that would be even cooler.

Congrats on the order!

No official price list yet. I would bet around $700 retail as an option.

Ok - don't want to sound ignorant - but could someone please explain the ambient lighting? I'm not familiar with that option.

Congratulations! You're going to love your new Mustang. You made great choices on your options. I'm anxious to see pictures of your new 2008 Mustang.

Did you actually see them enter the info into the computer? My dealer couldn't get it to go past page 1 when he was entering the order.

The holes of pain, ie front license plate holder, and of course the stickers that dealers like to put on your car telling the world where you got the best deal(and take several minutes to remove off of the rear of your ride)!

Ahhh, gotcha! I think I'd have a coronary if they did the front license mount since we don't have front plates here in PA. Stickers don't bother me too much since they're pretty easy to remove, but if you can avoid it all the better. I'm in the process of trying to convince my dealer to leave my car in plastic and only do the mechanical predelivery inspections. They claim they'll "try" to make it happen...

Looks like you will be the first to get factory HIDs!

Looking forward to your report to see if they are in fact like the Saleen HID kit, or if Ford came up with something new.

Congrats!

That's the way I took my car home! Believe me, given that you're on this site, you'll know more about where your order is and when it's going to arrive than the dealer. All you need to do is keep reminding them once you find out that it's been shipped.
