2010 'vert intro, comments, questions , upgrades
Well first off I have been lurking here for a few years and wanted to introduce myself. I have always had a love affair with the mustang and have owned several over the last 15 years. My first car was, of course, a mustang.
Some background to my current 2010 kona blue V6 convertible pony- I bought it on the x plan and as a brand new model was limited to what was available. Yes I would have preferred the new 5.0 or new V6 but got "stuck" with the 4.0.
I bought the car almost exactly two years ago (7/8/09) and currently have 40k on it. I drove alot and use it for work and travel.
Concerns/ Problems- very little to none except a low freon charge from the factory and the radio cutting out and just saying "mustang". Disconnect the battery and wait 10 minutes and it resets itself.
2010 specific- Would love to have the new updated seats and side mirrors. Please let me know if you have gotten around this.
TPMS are they 2010 specific? I have read yeas and no so let me know if they are or aren't. I have learned to live with **** backwords speedo/tach.
Upgrades- I have done none except add the fog lights in the bumper, in my opinion a must do for any V6 that didn't come with this option. Other than that I did apply the Ipad screen saver over the radio- very irritated about this Ford should have corrected this, but so far has not.
Here is my list of future upgrades- (in order of importance)
Front brake upgrade 12.4" rotors

And new take off 18" wheels and tires. Either the 64x or track pack wheels. 19" and 20" tires are just to dam expensive.

Yeah I'm leaning that direction too. I've been searching, but cannot find them -well not that often. I did look on newtakeoff, craigslist etc.
I just ordered the brakes and hood prop kit from American muscle. I may just order order the chrome saleen wheels with out the Nitto 555 tires. I don't want just summer tires. There only 18" but that good enough for my no fluff v6 pony.

Wow another twin of my car. Ok you got me sold on the 64M (premium wheels). I don't know why but I do not like the side stripe and fender badge. Regardless I still really like your car.
