Hey, great color. That's the color I'm leaning towards. I'll probably go spoiler delete with the red interior. Just waiting though until end of March to see if Cobra will be worth waiting for. Thanks for the pics.

One more question. Did dealer make you put on front plates, or did you put those on after purchase? Just curious.

Let me say one thing about Mineral Grey. No photo does it justice. If you haven't seen one up close than you haven't seen how truly awesome this color is. I thought long and hard about the red interior too but decided to get the dark charcoal leather instead, which I love. I think the red leather is a no brainer with black and maybe even silver, but I just wasn't sure about the MG/red combo. I don't blame you for waiting on the Cobra either. I'm sure it will be worth it, but I could barely wait for this one to come out.

Those dealer plates were on there when I picked her up. I asked them not to put a dealer sticker or emblem on it (which they didn't) but I didn't know til recently that the dealer is drilling holes to put those front plates on. Is that correct? Does the Mustang come without holes in the front bumper? Even so, couldn't you get pulled over if you don't have front plates?

As far as I know, they are drilling into the bumper. Now for the getting pulled over part. My wife's front plate on her LHS, and my front plate on my f150 fell off within the same month two years ago. We both have driven by several police (and there's lots in Farmington) and never have they pulled us over. However, I'm sure if I'm driving around in a Mustang, I'll get pulled over right away because of no front plate. I just can't see drilling into the bumper. Maybe there's some bracket out there I can buy. We'll see. Oh well, need the Mustang first though.

If I would have known that before I got the Mustang I probably would have advised them not to. But, what's done is done and you're probably right about be more likely to get pulled over in a Mustang, too. So I guess it's just as well.
