No problem. The book is kind of big for my scanner but later I think I'll scan in that Ford racing GT burnout picture and make a wallpaper.
Boy, the EPA readjustment really hurt the MPG rating on this car. Seems like most people are getting better than what the new standards show.

Randy I can't thank you enough! 
Those pics look great!
I'd been considering going for a 07 Redfire if I can get enough end of year discounts on it. But after your pics and what you said about the Candy Apple now I'n defintly going to wait!

They had it up on a stand. It was an auto and didn't have any of the new options. It was rated at 22mpg hwy I believe.
This was just with a razr cameraphone. If I knew they had an 08 I'd have taken my cannon S2. The candy actually has a pretty deep gloss. It isquite a bit better looking than redfire, imo. I've seen redfire that almost looks purple. It was a very sunny day.

I might run by the dealer this week to submit the order. If I can remember, I'll take a good camera and grab some better pictures.

Vista Blue
2-Door Coupe - Premium (140A) 3.55 Ratio Axle - Available on GT Manual Transmission Only 18 inch Polished Aluminum Wheels w/ P235/50ZR18 Tires Ambient Lighting Active Anti-Theft System HID Headlamps (Requires 14A) GT Appearance Package (Opt GT) Interior Upgrade Package (add 67L or 67D) Premier Trim w/ Color Accent Package (See Order Guide) Comfort Group (Requires Leather Seats) GT Spoiler Delete
I'm not sure on Satin silver or charcoal dash though. The charcoal looks 100 times better in person (than in photos) while the silver looks better in photos.
After driving the Grabber orange at the dealer, I'm not sure the 3.55s are needed. It had 3.31 and the car had so much low end that I could easily break laws just lugging along in 3rd. Which brings me to my only complaint so far. They need to make 55 a little more pronounced on the dial.

It sounds close to what I ordered.
I went through the same decisions as you're going through. I went for the Satin silver dash to get some contrast with the black of the rest of the interior.
I also went for the 3.55 axle, and added the HID's and dropped the 18 inch Fan Blade wheels (64E) after I found out that Ford started painting them grey/black for 08. They wouldn't look as good as the silver fan blades IMHO, plus I can add silver fan blade wheels after market if I want later on.
Good luck, and Thanks for the pics again!

Redfire and Vista blue are my favorite colors on the Mustang. Not alot of other cars can match the same brilliance these colors have.
Be sure to keep us updated!

Sometimes that stuff can take a long time to update, I might have the car before I get the 08 brochure in the mail........
I'll probably just go down and get one when my Dealer gets them! I already called him today, they're not in yet......

I was able to pic one up today. They didnt even have them on display yet, I had to ask for it and he pulled one out of a box behind his desk.
"So when are you looking to buy?" he asks me. I replied "Ummmm...as soon as mine is delivered" This was a different dealer then where I ordered.
