Well, my mustang has a VIN so I thought it was only appropriate to drop by and say Hi.
I'm Randi. I have ordered a 2014 GHIG mustang GT convertible. Would love to meet some locals, as well as learn all I can about this beast of a car! I'm originally from Chicago and spent a lot of years in Dallas/Fort Worth TX. Came here so I could actually enjoy the outdoors....and my convertible (I currently have a Mini cooper convertible).

 

Welcome to TMS.

 

Welcome!
I'm waiting for my new mustang too!
It's a tough wait!

 

Welcome.

 

welcome to TMS...congrats.. post pics whn u get ur ride... GHIG is special color.

 

Thanks everyone for the welcome! I'll keep you posted.
Elk Grove Guy, when is yours expected in.
BTW, anyone have any solutions for an alternative front plate bracket. I found one,, but I am trying to see what options I have.
Thanks

 

This was my solution after checking with the Washington State Patrol. The trooper I spoke to said that since the entire state name and plate number were visible I would have no problems and a year later I have had none. And there have been NO cooling problems in 18K miles.

 

Welcome. I am just north of ya in Vancouver BC. We'll have to meet up and some coastal mustang meets. DIB convertible GT here.

 

Hey Congrats, The wait is killer but, getting closer...

As to the plate holder options, just did the same recently... There are a couple of nice options.

Craigs Custom Brackets

I found these would not work with the Roush lower grill installed, so they would not fit my car. Saw one of these at the dealer. Looked nice and kept the plate off the paint. This a more of a permanent option. Not meant to be pulled on and off.

The one I decided to go with was Big Mike's option. I liked that it can be quickly removed without a trace. Also nice when covering the car for storage. Makes it easier to put the car cover with out a concern the plate will cut the cover. It was easy to install and did not require the car to be lifted to do so. Here is a pic of mine, but there are other pic's on the site. I would definitely recommend going this route.

Thanks for sharing some license plate bracket ideas! Got word the car will be I next week! It's on the train in Illinois

 

i remember those same words…'your car's in illinois on the train' lol

 

Congratulations on your new ride to arrive! What is driving me crazy is waiting on some dry, sunny weather so I can drive my stang. Just got it in January but with the weather here in Oregon (cannot compare with the MidWest-East Coast owners!) I have hardly driven it.

On the front plate issue, here in Oregon, the front plate is required. Just talked to some cops about it yesterday and they will ticket you if not installed. Bummer dude!

 

IT'S HERE!!!! And SO beautiful! Now I can start ordering parts for it!!! Yeah!!

 

Hey congrats! Enjoy the new ride. I can relate to the feelings you have today. You will not be disappointed. You'll love this car!
