Ambient Lighting (95M)

Satin Aluminum Instrument Panel Applique (67L)
Premier Trim with Color Accent Package (68B)

Were did you find the Candy apple red sample? I've been looking and looking. So far only thing I've seen is off ford fleet and who knows how accurate that color is with computer render.

Here's a sample from an actual paint touch up kit! It even has the correct color code on the tube.

Thanks guys! I'm sure I will! I'm just a little concerned about how long it will take to get here since the other orders from the all the others Dealers around the country have to come first before mine will get built.
Oh well, that's fine since I'm not in that much of a hurry......

Yes, I'm trading in the V6 for couple of reasons: 1. I like the new Candy Apple Red along with the Black/Chamois interior that Ford is coming out with for 08. 2. I would like a little better perfroance then what I'm getting now. The V6 has been all right, but with the AC on, there has been times when I wish I had more power.
3. I also like the short throw shifter that comes with the GT better then the stick in the V6.

No, I don't think I'm going to have to put too much money down since I've had my V6 pony for over two years now. I'll just have to agree to take on more debt with the GT since it's more expensive!

i like the #3 reason the best. in fact i was thinking of trying to put the stock GT shifter in my car cause i liked it so much. i never use my A/C, so i'm not aware of reason #2. did you have much negative equity on the V6? will you have to put a lot of extra $ down to get the GT? i might trade in my V6 if and when the GT gets a bigger engine in a few years.
