In the owner's manual case, it came with, of course, the owner's manual, a quick reference guide to use all the controls (everythings way different), and .....
An interactive CD-ROM that introduces you to the car! Pretty cool.

Congrats. Man, every interior color looks good with black. And I'm trying so hard not to buy another black car...

Medium parchment is really sweet with the black interior. There were so many posts about how people thought the interior was cheap and flimsy...I can't see how they would think that! I feel like I am sitting in a luxury car. The seat is really comfortable too.

Here's a tip on the seatbelt reach issue. Ford replaced the plastic seatbelt loop on top of the seat to improve rear seat access and also to correct the dreaded lazy seatbelt retraction. In lieu of the loop, the 05 Mustang features a strap with magnetic button on the lower outboard side of the seats. You can route the belt through that strap and use your outboard hand to reach for the belt. It's a bit different approach but is better for getting in and out of rear seats and your seatbelts shouldn't hang up during retraction.

For your seatbelt that you have to reach for:
Isn't there a plastic retainer on your left shoulder that looks like an oval with a thin opening where you can slide in the belt? If so, just slide the belt into that and it wont go further back.

Does the rear windshied have the dot matrix like the 99-2004 have?

I hate it too :angry: [/b][/quote]
If you get someone that knows what they are doing dot-matrix is no issue when tinting. I posted this in a previous topic.

So that's what the little strap hanging down is on the bottom of the seat!
You're so lucky! If I was the dealer, I would have wanted to show it off, but hey, they'll see you driving it more than if it was sitting in the showroom.(especially with 100 miles a day!)

Congrats man! Now they just need to make their way up to Denver.
Haha I did call my dealer and ask him when he thought he'd get them in. After the normal non-committal answer I said, "Well, I go on a pretty huge Mustang forum, and a guy in the Springs just drove home with a black GT yesterday."
Did that ever throw them for a loop!
