It's Official: Glass Roof in 2009!
I think it ruins the look of the coupe.
Nice that they have options though, for those that like it!
Me, I like high speed top down Mustangs.

REALLY COOL! Had it been available when I ordered my car in 2006, I would have gone with it. Its more than half the price increase for the convertible. As for stripes, if anyone is a member of MCA, last months issue of Mustang Times (the club magazine), Stangnet's GT500 was featured. It has the glass roof AND it has stripes on it. CDC put perforated vinyl on the glass roof in white with the blue for the stripes. At 1st glance, it looks like a regular GT500, but upon further inspection, you see its a glassback with stripes, and it looks great. You can see right through the vinyl. See the pics below.
For those willing to wait until this option becomes available, there's nothing wrong with more choices. But $2K is alot for a roof that doesn't open. Personally, I'd be more interested in a true openning moonroof or sunroof. I am surprised that no one is marketing a quality open roof yet...not withstanding that peel-and-stick one.
God, I want that. With a 3/36 warranty against leaking/etc from Ford.
Well I guess the 50's are back with bubble tops and the like.
One thing though, actually two.
1. In places like where I live in AZ, that big piece of roof glass is going to be like a huge magnifying glass in the summer making 110 feel like 150. I hope they add one of those pullover covers like you get with moon roofs these days. It's also going to make 30 some degree mornings like today that much more miserable since glass isn't a great insulator.
2. I can't imagine any vehicle over 400 horse and accompanying torque numbers having this option. It would probably either work itself loose or crack the first time the unibody flexed from the power. Last I checked the factory wasn't including sub-frame connectors.
It's a neat option, just not very practical in some places.

I heard on the local Detroit news about this glassback roof option. It will be a $2000 option though. I figure once you load up a 2009 GT with all the trimmings, it will be about $35k MSRP.
