Why not get the GT/CS, it comes with the polished wheels, front and rear fascia you want. Just take off the stripe, and if you want a hood without the scoop, I'm sure you can find someone with a torch red stock hood who will trade you. Might come up cheaper this way.

GT/CS comes in Black, White, Vista Blue, Candy Apple Red, and Grabber Orange. It might be something to think about if they were made in Torch Red, would really be something to think about, too bad they dont come in all colors like a Standard GT. Wasnt Planning the GT/CS Front end, not yet at least. And too bad they dont come with the Charcoal/Crimson Red Interior too.

you will like the GT500 rear shield (mudflaps) very sweet looking. Nice trim selections and future mods will really bring the TORCH RED together nicely.

Thanks...
Yeah, I look forward to it, and to see how it will all turn out.
I have been watching this car since 2004, and watching all the Mods via this forum. 4 years later, my turn.

The wait is going well. A week into it now, not getting too antsy yet.
It was a good weekend to get out the "Sister Ship" and get her polished up. Here is a quick shot out by the Reservoir.

Thumbs up VIN in Hand

The order is moving along. I received the VIN Yesterday. I can now track it on Blue Oval Forums to find out where it is at.

The GT500 Spoiler and GT/CS Rear Fascia are on order. Should be here in a couple of weeks. Also picked up the GT500 Rear Shield (Mudflaps) yesterday too, cant wait to install them.

More updates as I get them.

Waiting is getting to me!

OK, it has been a week since I have heard anything new

Now the wait is getting to me. Saw a Beautiful GT/CS on the way to work, he pulled up right next to me, that only added to the pain today.
