OK, Gang... here are two shots I took at 8AM this morning... as promised when I gave you the Tire and MSRP info...


Wow, I can't wait to get mine. Only a few weeks left (Aug 29 build week). I've seen the Tungsten on Pony Package in person. Can only imagine right now how great it looks on the GT with an ICAP.

It'll look just like the showcar once someone paints Satin Silver stripes on it

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)
Thanks, pup. I assume those are the all-season KDWS's and not just the KDW's.

When I first saw it, I thought... silver stripes would not be needed. This car is beautiful just as she sits. But then I went back and looked at all the show car photos, and realized it will only make it better. :worship:

I think the new Fanblades will look incredible on Windveil Blue. I originally thought that no rim could look better on the new Mustang than the bullits, but I am loving the fanblades more and more, even though the bullits are more retro.

I've got a Windveil Blue with fanblades on order. To help with my decision I made some quick photoshops, they are here if you want to see WB with both:

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.
Whew,boy am i glad you said that.I feel much better now.don't want to look ricey either.

[Yes, they'd be the KDWS's]

KDW


KDWS

Actually Jason, they are neither. The Traction T/A's are a different lineup of tire (a very good one I might add), but are not the super high performance KDW's or KDWS's. The T/A's are a great all season tire, even better than the KDWS's (I've had both).
Dan, according to BF Goodrich's website, there are no Traction T/A's offered in 18" wheels...the only tire I saw that offered 235/50/ZR18's were the G-Force T/A KDWS.

Ahhhh........ But you forgot to mention that it also says KDWS more than likely

I just assumed that you meant the Traction T/A, but those aren't "g-Force".

LOL, Dan... they did not say 'Traction' anywhere on the tire. They DID say 'g-force'...
They also did not say KDWS (95% sure on this)...

Hope this helps!
