Why? For "illuminated cup holders"?

The Focus seems like a great candidate for the gimmicky mood lighting, but with the 07 Premier trim package, the interior is about as complete as it needs to be. I can't even think of anything I want to add or change. I was so planning on changing the shifter ****, but I like it, and the tweaked shifter now feels like an aftermarket one.

I just wish they would do something really original for the Bullitt, but I would bet there is going to be a lot of parts swapping from other cars. Too bad Ford raped the original Bullitt's wheels to no end and stuck them on everything, they could of brought it back for the 'new' one. I remember when the Bullitt was new and those wheels were groundbreaking and made that car special-for a few months at least.... The grabber blue looks stupid, Ford needs to bring back TRUE BLUE. Competition Orange would rock to replace grabber. They also should change the Dove ICAP to be like the red and Chamois (like the fordvehicles website examples that mislead customers). I'm not big on chrome wheels, but I think the Marauder ones would look nice.

Thought the 08 order guide was due out today, anybody able to find anything out? Talked with my dealer, they saw a few other car guides out today but no mustang. Will chat with them in the morning to see if anything else came about.

You know last year Kevinb120 posted the order guide on 11 Mar 06 (a Saturday morning)
http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showth...ht=order+guide

The order banks opened 13 March 06 (the following Monday).

So I'm thinking the order guide won't be out until 14 April (Saturday morning)
Because the order bank opens 16 April (the following Monday)

dats rite! I was the first to post it online, about 15 minutes after it was released I don't think it will come out for a little while longer though, there are very few order guides out now, and none from a model that is not all-new or commercial. This is all that is out right now(dead links)

Hey Kevinb120,

What's in that "2008 Ford Division Current Complete order guide" link above?

Nevermind, you said they were dead links.

Although...

That feature probably would be useful when cruising down the 101 at 100 MPH at 3:00 AM in the morning while swiggin' a beer.

Hollywood North GT,

As you will feel compelled to respond, and then Lou will respond back... Can you both just use the pm feature and not take my thread off topic?

If you feel compelled to go back and forth in public, then please take it here

Thanks in advance.

You spoke too soon. Never even saw DynamicmustangGT's post; don't really care. If he chooses to react negatively to a clearly identified joke, that's his responsibility, not mine.

Now...
