Getting ready to order a new GT Premium
As the subject suggests, I'm going through the comparisons in preparation for ordering a new GT Premium. My wife is buying me a new mustang for my 50th birthday, and I've narrowed down all the technical features for a GT Premium once we decided it wasn't the right time to buy a Shelby. The only technical mod that I know I'll make once I get the mustang is to replace the mufflers with GT500 mufflers.
The one area that I'm challenged with is the external appearance. I'm posting my thoughts and pictures of a couple "feature examples" even though the colors aren't right. My hope is there is someone on this forum with a car that is a close match, and I'd love to see your pictures.
I've always loved white Shelby's with the Guardsman Blue stripe. I'm leaning heavily towards getting one in performance white with a single stripe like this yellow stang has.
I'll have the glass roof, and the stripe will be painted. I think I also want a side stripe, and I like the faded stripe on Twin Turbo's:
I'd probably inset "GT" in white where his has GT/CS.
I'll have the spoiler and side scoops like seen on Twin Turbo's, but I'm undecided on whether to paint the hood vents. I'm concerned they'd look tacky and not enhance the look I'm going after. Others who have painted theirs black seem to work well, but with my blue stripes, I think the only color that might look good would be the same blue.
This site is loaded with very helpful info, and so far I've found it to be my most heavily visited mustang site. Thanks everyone.
