Had two TMS members pic up their new rides today. We arranged for both of them to be here at the same time so we could photo op all the cars; theirs, mine, plus another GT vert that I had come in for another customer. Everything went as smooth as silk!

Here's the red one

Probably because it's HIS car, not yours.
Back off. He didn't ask for opinions.

I am sure they both will make an appearance on their own asking for nanners. I asked if I could post pics but respect their privacy as to bringing up their names.

Ed----- what is the difference in color between the mineral grey (sorry Canadian spelling) and the tungsten? Looks like maybe from pictures that the mineral might be a little darker. What's your take? Thanks!

Mineral Grey = Grey with bronze tint.
Tungsten Grey = Grey with purple/pink tint.

No, the customer asked me to order them thru parts which I did and had them installed in lieu of the stock caps. They really looked good.

IUP gauges aren't offered for a 2002 Mustang.

That, and I really like the look of reverse-glo gauges. I don't care if they are ricey or not, its better than that monotone green only on the numbers.

Not meaning to jack this thread, but if anyone has any information why my needles are sticking SOME of the times, please PM me. Sometimes they work perfectly, other times they won't move unless I beat on the dash to "unstick" them.

Nick I remember seeing something about it on the Stangnet forums, but it was a while ago. May want to try there. Seems like there's more 99-04 info over there and on the Corral. At least there was when i had my 03.

I'm one of the lucky owners!

Ed was right, it was smooth as silk. Everything worked out the way he said it would. :worship: Ed is the greatest!! The deal was great (invoice, then Xplan), Ed's the only guy you deal with (no 'talk to my manager, talk to my finance manager, etc.) and absolutely no hype or spin, he lets you know all the important dates (when your order is pulled, when the VIN was assigned, the build date, etc.). If you're considering buying a new Mustang, no need to go anywhere else, period. Go to him and you will not be disappointed. He's a really nice guy. I'm in the Chicago area and it was well worth the ride out to East Moline! Nobody in the Chicago area could match his honesty, deal and attention!

Oh, by the way, the car is fantastic (more on that later)!

Lastly, can I have some major nanners??
