GT convertible

Need some more pics of windveil blues.

Here's mine.

Exterior wise, I did little. Just the Shelby spoiler ($99 including paint), the vinyl blackout on the back, chrome tail pipes, covers on the mirrors and the 18 inch polished Bullitts.

I really like the look of the polished rims. When I bought the car, it was a base GT, but had the optional 17 inch rims. I got the 17 inch argent painted rims soon after from Newtakeoff.com. I finally went to these last month and like how it compliments the blue.

I have no mechanical mods (except a strut tower bar). The mods are mostly in the interior, and pretty hard to notice, as most is retrofitted. I have:

-Honda S2000 start button
-chromed Ford Fusion door grommets
-interior chrome door handles from Ford Taurus
-chromed bezel around auto shifter (I really tried to find an auto when I bought the car, but couldn't find one)
-Ford Racing illuminated door sill Mustang script - not installed
-retrofitted Ford DVD headrests (I have sooo much more peace and quiet in the car now!!)
-retrofitted nav unit
-Bullitt steering wheel
-retrofitted ambient lighting
-one touch turn signals
-one touch rear windows
-blue gauge faces
-my own e-brake boot
-shelby e-brake handle
-retrofitted power passenger seat
-retrofitted heated seats
-interior being changed from dove grey to charcoal black

I have everything to change the colour of the interior, but haven't done the carpet or seats yet. As I have 2 young children in car seats, I will leave the seats for a while until they are old enough not to destroy the seats. The rear panels are painted, while the replacements are in storage for the same reasons.

I will say that the biggest pain was changing the entire dash, as the whole thing had to be pulled out.

I made a 1:18 replica of my car (with completed black interior, of course) from an Autoart windviel blue car. I had to cut the roof off and took parts off other models to get it to look like mine.

Cheers

Sir, I LOVE your car!!

I got a perf white 2011 'vert (intending to add blue stripes later) because in my opinion neither the Kona nor Grabber blues were the 'right' blue. I thought I wanted Vista Blue, but hadn't heard of Windveil blue until looking thru 2005-2009 colors section with my daughters. All of us agree your car looks sophisticated. They LOVE the matching scale model!

Are there any Canada-only aspects to your car not listed? We especially like your blue gauge faces!

BRAVO! GREAT car!

Chrome for our colour is the way to go.

Mine are polished, actually.

Just getting my 07 GT Vert/Camel interior in a day or two. I've had lots of grey/black interiors in other cars and wanted tan this time. Lots of time to keep it clean and make mods. I want the Sequential tail lights and the One touch Signals (I looked at WebElectric and those 'barstewards' won't sell to Canadians- I guess no recession for them).
I love the colour and can't wait till spring. It's at the stealership addressing a diff problem. Fortunately bought it at a dealer and they're covering that cost. I heard the diffs are a problem with the V8. Glad it's getting fixed up. Where did others get their One Touch signal kit? (how do you attach a .jpg?)
