what would you change about your car now that you have it?

I've delt with thousands of mustangs and I custom ordered mine, so I'm pretty much good to go. 
Only thing I was on the bubble about was the comfort group but passed on the extra weight of the power passenger seat. The thread is about available factory options, not wish list stuff.

Are the racing stripes from the factory painted on? They are a $395 option if you build a Mustang on Fords website, so I'm assuming they are not painted on.

I believe you are right. What I meant to say was I may regret having the dealer install the vinyl stripes vs. going to a paint shop and having them sprayed and clearcoated. It would have been a lot more money but I plan to keep this car a long time.

+1 And dapmustang's "Payment Delete".
The '05 could have used forged wheels and wider tires from the Factory, a stronger Shifter (these items have already been upgradded) and along with those eight cylinders, the engine was indeed missing the Upper Plenum Delete Kit.

i think i would have gotten one with two fewer wheels, six fewer cylinders (or 4 fewer depending on the model) made in japan, and includes a bigger smile on my face. but no biggie, i still love the running horse.

besides - getting back to the topic would not have included saying youd rather have a bike than the mustang.

and thats part of the reason i havent done it 
i am liking the clean looks of the car. it seems like some of the roush scoops dont have the problems of the fords (at least the ones i saw at the local dealership)
makes you wonder if their fix includes a heat gun and a lot of trial/error
