I'll post one picture, they are very fat and unoptomized 1024x768. The rest are available online.



I apologize for not framing the pictures properly, I was new to the camera and using the eyepiece and not the LCD.

The rest of the pix can be found here: New 2005 Mineral Grey

Thanks.

With this monitor, and possibly the White Balance of the pictures, the gold really doesn't show up very well. It's a very warm color in daylight.

This angle was really showing the gold features of the paint, but didn't show up that good (at least not with this monitor):

I took this one to show how aero the covered headlamps really are in comparison to what they appear to be:



Then again, it's not an aero car (appearance-wise), and I didn't buy it for the headlamp covers!

Looks great. Those are the best pics of the Mineral Grey that I've seen, so far. Still waiting on my Mineral Grey(with spoiler) GT premium with black leather.

You know, I could take 100 pictures and never capture the light reflecting off the gills like I did there, and I didn't even notice it until you pointed it out. It does look really cool with the reflection that way....

You know man. My Uncle is full of crap. He says that this color doesn't look good on this body style. He says it looked better on the 99-04 body style in 01 & 02. But man, I LOVE the color on this car. I think I would LOVE this color on a 1989 station wagon. Moneral Grey just rocks. Sweet car you lucky dog. Congrats.

Comment: The view from the interior is great. People who have complained about blindspots, I'm not sure where they are coming from.

The C-pillar windows ("shelby quarter windows") offer a great view out the right side of the car.

Due to the thickness of the B-pillar intrusion into the cockpit, view over your left shoulder still has a bit of a blind spot, although you can see daylight through the quarter-window and still tell if there is anyone there.

So between that sliver of daylight, your left rearview mirror, and your right foot on the accelerator, there really is no blind spot issue at all.

You have a classy new car to drive that M1 Garand to the range with.
(I'm assuming that's the M1 rifle, right?)

Your photos might have convinced me to delete the spoiler.

I think I'll still drop the rifle(s) into the Explorer. But I'm going to put my "M1Rifle" plates onto the Mustang... so if you are in CA, you'll know who I am.

I love the Mineral Gray/Parchment! It looks classy ;-)
My old (then new) 90 LX 5.0 convertible was Gray/Gray/Gray (dyed the white top).

Wow, good pics Bill! Agree on the parchment interior, it really does look classy. The charcoal is cool, but the parchment says "premium" in a whole other way and looks better with the mineral grey than I thought it would. Dang, may have to change my prefs... Still undecided wether I like the spoiler or not, but it does look good without too.

Congrats to your car, I am sooooo envious! :worship:
