ok...the V6 topic has been beaten to death...let's tear into the GT...

1. Dump the big fog lights
2. Don't put on Shelby stripes.
3. Lose the body colored rocker panels
4. Integrate fogs into bumper
5. Change the GT logo...I like the older style 60s logo better
6. GT only color options
7. GT badging in the interior


there's a start...what say you????

1. Disagree completely...very much like the fogs how they are.
2. This is not a factory thing. Hard to claim it should be improved over aftermarket stuff people do to their cars.
3. Disagree...I think they look much better than black rockers.
4. See #1. Having the fogs in the bumper has been worn out. Look at every GT and Cobra for 11 years.
5. Agree
6. Agree
7. Agree wholeheartedly

I agree with the GT badging in the interior but I love the big driving lights. I also like the new GT logo.

well with this you can put on shelby stripes on a V6 as well so that doesnt really go just for the GT as for the body colored rocker panels i think i like color matched vs black

Here's an option to add for both the V6 and the GT. Optional body color side mirrors!

I disagree with all of those except the GT badging on the interior. I absolutely love the big fogs, so much that I would want to marry them if I wasn't already married. I love this GT badge more so than any other GT badge I've ever seen. And I'm also a huge fan of the body colored rockers.

I would like to see the silver GT with the option of a chrome rocker cover. At least see how it looks photo shopped.

there's a start...what say you????
1. I like em, keep em, maybe make it with a delete option like the spoiler, but most I think like them, makes it look meaner
2. ? - that's an aftermarket move or dealer installed, so not sure why you need to mention that one
3. No way, keep them body colored, I think the black ones look bad
4. I think the fogs/driving lights are fine.
5. Not really sure what that looked like, so no comment
6. not a bad idea, I like that
7. Agreed

mine

8. GT only spoiler, keep the current one for the V6 and give the GT its own, I prefer ducktail!!!!!!!!!!!
9. 18" wheels (already beat to death, should be here for '06)
10. engine cover (alreday beat to dealth, heard it might be an '06 option)

You forgot boosting the horsepower to 375 and lowering the price to $20,000.

I agree with all other than the fogs because I like them. I also like the GT badge.

1. Add the leather in rear panels.
2. Loose the spoiler. I have it on mine but dont like it. A different design would be nice.
3. Loose the plastic cover infront of the headlights.
4. Entire seats should be 100% leather. Front and rear. The rear seats are pleather and so is part of the front. Whats up with that!?! Did we get a pento or Mustang? I still love my car though and would not trade for nothing.
5. Lights where the radio, AC, etc should be connected to MyColor option.
6. Rear mats would be nice as well.

1. Dump the big fog lights - completely disagree
2. Don't put on Shelby stripes. - again, completely disagree. I love the way my car looks now
3. Lose the body colored rocker panels - disagree, there is nothing wrong with them
4. Integrate fogs into bumper - no thanks
5. Change the GT logo...I like the older style 60s logo better - I like it the way it is
6. GT only color options - not a bad idea
7. GT badging in the interior - another good idea

I disagree with all of the original points. I'd perfer no badges interior or exterior. Why do I need to be told what I have? Or proclaim it to anyone? I think badges are tacky.

Definitely the AC and radio etc. lights should be tied into the mycolor option so the entire dash would light up in the same color. To me it is real stupid read STUPID :notnice: to not be able to make the entire dash light up the same color. Come on Ford change that tune.

What???? Blasphemy!!! The GT is already perfect in every way

But seriously:

1. Chin spoiler
2. 18" Wheel option ( I know...coming in '06)
3. Fatter tires
4. 2-tone leather seat option
5. I like the colored side mirror suggestion
6. Engine cover - "Powered by Ford" or running pony, or "GT"
7. Tower strut braces
8. Better looking e-brake handle
9. Better quality carpets...c'mon Ford!
10. Last but no mean's least more HP!
