Its been a year

Well, its been exactly 1 year to the day that I traded my base 11 V6 for my loaded 12 GTCS.

Mods to date: Roush AB, Tint, GT 500 Steering wheel, painted coil covers, numerous billet interior accents, OEM hood scoop, shorty antenna, custom GTCS floormats, custom leather armrest cover from amustangrocks.

Time flies when you're having fun!

Thanks for all the kind wishes all.

I can honestly say that this is the best of the four Mustangs I have owned.

Speaking of 4....Here's to 4 more years of financing! Lol

Yep. Sadly, the under hood was repainted a couple of months ago. (Bubbling paint covered by warranty)

Yours is definitely the worst pic I've seen posted.

It's just so curious of problem.

My 11 V6 was 3 years old and showed no trace of bubbling paint. The GT bubbling paint popped up literally one weekend when the temperature fluctuated rapidly.

The repair they did was excellent but the dealership/resolving the issue was the worst warranty experience I've ever had.

I now pop the hood after every drive. This is to fool myself into thinking that "heat soak" could have had something to do with it.
