NICE ! Question: are you going to go with the front plate ?
Well.... I was hoping to put it off till my ordered plate arrives but Mass is soooo slow, last time I ordered it was 8 months! I got GT300 on the way.

Since I askled that question I was out and noticed that all the cars with the older green and white plates have rear only and newer red and white plates are front and rear. MA laws say that if they issue 2 plates, both must be used (too bad). I did see quite few cars though with red and white with only a rear plate. Note sure we'd get away with it on a Mustang. I'll watch for you and give you the thumbs up

Hey Robyn, congratulations on "Paddy's" safe arrival. I'm sure he's found a good home! (Excellent name, by the way) The color is sharp and classy at the same time. It's also a great choice because you can apply virtually any color stripe you like!

I like the environmental control ***** you installed. Very cool. That panel needed something; too much black! And the rubber floor mats are racey and sensible. All around, a great looking car. Good luck and enjoy!
:rock:

Glad you went :drive: too! You'll get used to it in no time...

Tom, Your right, the green plate is rear only but red ones have to be both. I have red sox plates on now till my others come in. I drove my jeep around for years with one plate and got stopped a few times. They just gave me warnings.

Let's arrange a mustang meet at Kimballs sometime this spring.

The ***** I got from www.crossroadzdirect.com. The floor mats are just cheap ones I bought at Autozone. The weather has been so muddy that I didn't want to ruin the nice red ones that came with it. Turns out the cheap ones don't look bad at all and fit very well

Congrats, Robyn. And good choice on the MMR Intake. MMR has some good stuff. Keep an eye out for their intake upgrade that should be coming out any day now. By the way, don't buy anything from crossroadzdirect... they are way over priced on everything. I have them added to my favorites just to check the site and see new things that are out for the '05. Then, I shop around and find everything for 5-10% cheaper on other sites.

Thanks for the tip, I will shop around from now on. I installed the MMR Intake yesterday WOW I didn't expect to really feel a diference in power but there definately is!! Sounds better too. The check engine light did come on as they said it might but should go off after 200 miles. I blew a fog lamp already! The dealer is going to give me another one. The car is getting new tires right now. I'll post pics of the MMR and tires in exterior mods later.

Robyn, I don't wanna scare you, but my check engine light went on after I installed the intake, and it never went off. I actually did the trick of unplugging the battery for 5 minutes, then hooking it up, starting the car and letting it idle for a few minutes. Others have had the light go off (and I hope yours does) but mine didn't. Luckily, I was getting the SCT XCalibrator anyway and once I reflashed, it was gone. Are you going to reflash?

My light didn't come on last night but did this morning. :angry: Hopefully it will go off but I appreciate your letting me know about yours. I was thinking of the SCT also but need to learn more about it as I haven't done anything like that before. I just got the car back with new BFG G Force 255/50/R17's they look awesome. Guys at the tire place love it. Actually had one of the the town cops stop at my house last night, he saw it in the driveway and I let him take it for a ride. He has a 67 Shelby. He was grinning ear to ear... loved it. Far as I know, I'm the first in town with a GT. Seen 3 or 4 V6's.

Robyn, way to stink up and avoid those tickets!! I love it!! At the rate you're modding, you will probably need that extra added insulation from the law!!

Car looks great BTW.
