I'm happy for you!!! Congrats!!!

Bob & I felt the same way this time last year. The wait seemed forever and we only had to wait until June for our cars.

I remember snapping pics the first day of the auto dim mirror, heated seat switches, black cloth top and Sirius antenna location for everone else that was waiting for their '07's. I feel honored that my pics are still out on the 2007 timeline page. Now I hope that someone can return the favor and snap pics of the '08 HID's as soon as they come out.

The order was placed infront of me, otherwise I would not have left the dealership . I did however didn't get a exact price for the car. They said that the cost will mostly be 5% more or less than what they estimated from a 07. I ordered on X-Plan, not sure if that makes a difference.

The sales manager said that I should have a VIN in the next few months, I expect the car in either July or August, cause remember Job #1 is scheduled for June 25th I believe.

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!!!


I HEARD FROM ONE OF OUR ENGINEER'S AT MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT FPAGAPG, ONE OF FORD'S PROVING GROUND'S, THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART'S FOR HID'S ARE VERY PRICEY, BUT THE SYSTEM'S ARE VERY RELIABLE, & BY THE WAY CONGRAT'S ON YOUR NEW STANG.

WOW! They better be a whole lot better than the HIDs on the Merc Montego for that kind of scratch.

So on the HID's. I understand that the bulbs last a long time. Are they a standard bulb that can be bought at a parts store when it comes time to replace them? How much?

It might be a hard sale if the bulbs are like 100 bucks or something.

Are the fogs going to be HID also or anything different?

The HID capsules are supposed to last the equivalent of 10 years. That being said, I would add "your mileage may vary" depending upon your usage.

They are expensive to replace - figure roughly around $100 for the capsule and $150 - $300 for a replacement ballast should it fail.
