OK, the additional info. Tires and MSRP

Tires:

g-force T/A 235/50 Z 18's '97W M+S'

MSRP:

26,320 Premium (Leather and 5 Spd)
50 Wheel locks
450 IUP
825 Fanblades
27,645 Subtotal
695 Destination
28,340 Grand Total MSRP

I took two additional photos but will have to upload after work. Morning Sun (8am) and not a great angle (they moved the car!)

Oh, and apologies to anyone who congratulated me... It's not mine :bang:

However, it is the car I will be ordering (less leather, maybe spoiler, not sure on wheels, but Fanblades are growing on me)

$825 for fanblades? :shock: the 17" upgrade wheels were only $195. Still a good price tho, i thought it wouldeve gone to 29-30k

Seeing this color really makes me wish I would've waited for an 06... I'm liking it mucho! Altho I do love my Screaming Yellow baby. Get us some more pix in the sunlight at different angles.

The color and the wheels look good. I'm still not sold on the 18" wheels over the 17" though.

There is one thing for sure .... the Fanblades & the new Bullitts. Will be more work to keep clean, then the 17" painted bullitts.

Though I can't speak for the bullitts, the new fanblades are MUCH easier to keep clean than my upgrade rims. Because of their design (smooth transition into the rim) and large holes between spokes, they are quite easy to keep clean

Thats kinda the way I figured, that the blades would be easier to clean, as with the slightly different styled Bullits without the lip.(assuming previous pics are accurate)

Thats part of the reason i didn't get the "upgraded" wheels because they look like they would be a pain to keep clean. With the painted ones, you don't see the break dust as well, plus i have always liked the style. But like everything else when ordering one of these things, it was a toss up.

Hey its my car...or at least, exactly what my car will look like on the outside.

Is it just me, or does that Stang not slope downwards towards the front as others? I also noticed that the new Stangs stand pretty high in the back and then slope downwards towards the hood. That car didn't look it did that that much.

Cool pix, thanks a bunch, man. Also, thanks for the pics of the TG next to MG, Stoenr.
That might be because they have done some suspension upgrades for the 18" wheels.

Eh...That's what I originally thought. But when you see them in person you realize that's A LOT of rim to have polished........ It would sure be blingy. They are still extremely shiney (which doesn't always come out in pics). They did a good job.

The 17" upgrade wheels use the same tires as the 17" bullits, which keeps the price down.

IMO $825 is a very good price for 18" wheels, tires, and suspension tweaks (whatever they may be).

I agree. I'll go the other way on this one - I don't think I'd like the blades as much if they were all polished.

They really do look sweet in person - especially when the sun hits the silver metallic paint on them
