^ nice Alex... looking good.

I do the same thing for my cars and my customers. I use Optimum Opticoat or DP Policoat. These are permanent sealants and don't wear away or fade, unless buffed off. Also known as secondary "clear coat". It's perfect for on the go customers who want the permanent protection of sealants but don't have the skill or knowledge or time to maintain their vehicles.

Nice!!! Remember that you shouldn't have to have that done every year. That's a once and forever thing, unless you completely have it buffed off.

Buy a better fitting hat!

I wear a hat about 99% of the time with the top down and have never lost one!

Thanks man!! I dont know how to apply it well enough myself. I think its a good investment. The car is already covered in dust. The black paint is a love hate thing, it looks unreal when its clean. However its never really clean I havnt even really drove the car yet and there are particles all over it
Black is literally impossible to keep clean. I sort of wish i went kona blue like you did, or sterling grey maybe

The amount of compliments you get from the red interior is crazy. Everyone loves it so much.

I SO wanted to get grey, but they didn't offer the red interior till 2014 (wish I would have known that, I would have waited)... Black does looks awesome for that 5 minutes it's clean though!

Yep! It's rare and only available in a few colors (and it of course stands out), so a lot of people notice it! And it just looks so good!

What colors can you get it in do you know? Silver and sterling grey?

I know for 2013, it was white, black, silver, and one of the blues (sonic maybe)... Maybe one of the reds too, I think... It's been a while since I checked! And the 2014 model year, they added the grey.

Race Red was available with the red gut in '13 & '14...along with DIB. I think in 2012 whichever red that was replaced by Ruby Red the next year was also available with a red interior. I think Kona blue was available in that combo also in '12.

I was so disappointed that I couldn't snag a 401A Brick Red that I actually considered having my 401A Cashmere stripes re-done in red shortly after I got mine last May just so I'd get a little color on the seats. Glad I didn't, and I've since grown to love the black on black with the off-white seat stripes.

401A was only available with three choices...the aforementioned Brick Red/Cashmere stripes, Black/Cashmere stripes, or Black/Grabber Blue stripes. The 401A also added a few other interior changes, including the stainless steel shift ****. I think the door trim panels are different too. I forgot the other stuff.

The all black standard leather on the GT Premium looks fine in all colors except black IMO, especially in a convertible. The mildly two-toned 401A combo gives a black Mustang some pop.

^^ Much better info...

Yeah, the door panels are different, and with the red, we get a red steering wheel as well!

And I HATE that shifter ****... After the first hot day, I went and ordered me a Speed Dawg shifter! LOL!

I got you beat there Jay. When I retired on 4/30/14 and knew I was going to get a Mustang GT...didn't know where, when, or what color...just knew that it'd have a stick.

I bought a retro cue-ball style shift **** from Am Muscle before I even started looking for the car, and installed it the day I took delivery on 5/20. It's my first and favorite mod!!!

Nice! I liked the aluminum shifter when I first got the car... I liked how it looked, and was fine when it was cold (I got mine in November), but man, that thing gets hot and I was like, nope, not worth it! LOL!

I love my shifter too! Black and red, just like the car...

I like it. I'll bet that looks great surrounded by all the red leather.

My original shift **** is now a paper weight on my desk.

Musta been Mopar Madness Day....never saw so many at an open show....new and vintage Challengers, Rams, Chargers, Jeeps, vintage 'Cudas, even a 40's Power Ram and a 1919 Dodge. I finally got to see a Hell Kitty...one parked next to me...and a Charger Hellcat was several cars down. Hemis ruled the day.
Lots of other stuff too, not much in the way of Mustangs which is unusual, but there were several shows going on today within a 25 mile radius.
Thanks for sharing Tom. Some really cool cars there.
