I love the idea of a vert, but hate the way they look. That's why I went with my coupe. Plus, if its a nice day, rolling the windows down is plenty for me.

Top fades, peels, and cracks,
Lacks proper insulation
Someone grabs a knife and cuts your roof open and take what ever is inside

This may be my opinion, but half of the above statements are facts.

Im glad you guys like your convertibles, ill stick with my coupe though.

And Danielle, you have a nice convertible, you are a girl too...
Some pics for the thread





What ever you guys like, its all good,

Anyways... here is a pic of my new grille

Nice mustang

Paying more money - Yes, but IMO, it's worth it... YMMV
Added weight - Yes, but not a huge deal IMO, especially since again, I am not racing it...
Less structural integrity - A little on the top (obviously), but underneath is actually pretty beefy... But it's still structurally sound (unless I flip it somehow)
Missing rear quarter panel bulges that make the car look muscular - Huh? They still have them...
Missing rear quarter windows that give the car its unique personality - Um, okay...
Top fades, peels, and cracks, - If you don't take care of it properly, true, but that's the case with any car (paint oxidation, rust, etc)
Lacks proper insulation - Proper? My 'Vert is pretty insulated and is quiet as any coupe out there...
Someone grabs a knife and cuts your roof open and take what ever is inside - Not quite that easy, but vandalism is a concern... But on your coupe (and 'Verts too), someone could just smash a window and do the same thing.

Im glad you guys like your convertibles, ill stick with my coupe though. - That's great, I am not trying to persuade you, just explaining why I like my 'Vert...

Anyways... here is a pic of my new grille - I have the same one (minus the Pony)...
Convertibles aren't for everyone, but we that own them love 'em!

Hey jdub2k5 - BEAUTIFUL CAR! This looks exactly like my 2014 I have on order. I also live in MO, any problems with not having a front license plate? How did you get the prescription for the dark tint?

a buddy who is a pro photog shot them, but we were literally just driving along and he texted: "Rolling shots?" and I responded with "K".

Rest is as you see posted. I wish we had gone to more interesting locale or somewhere with a bit more light, but totally happy with the result garnered.

Last Sunday. It looks like she's staying in the garage for 2 more weeks.

Today's early mother nature's early April Fool's joke of a weather.

Very nice!! Is that your Focus?? I also have a 13 hatchback for a DD, I think they're great!! I've had spring fever for weeks and dying to take the Stang out for a spin... I get my little 20 minute runs here and there to scratch the itch a bit

Nice Stang and Focus. The Focus is my "winter beater" as my son would call her.

Arrrrrrrrgh you guys. Stop dangling that carrot

I am hoping to activate her fully this Friday. My borlas come in at that time, so I need my shop to install that and rotate tires.

Spring is coming soon. Just wait a little bit more.
