Do the guide markings on the factory review camera curve with the wheels or do they stay straight?

If its the same system that is in my father 2012 SHO, they stay straight. My brother's BMW they curve, so I think I know what you are asking.

The majority of buyers don't care about the ride height and if they lower it, how much? Everyone has different taste. I don't like how low a lot of guys go in here so, if they go lower THAN I like, I have to raise it. If they don't go low enough for a lot of you guys, you still have to lower it. So, it's probably a good idea to start high with a comfy ride for the majority and let the mod guys choose what they like. Plus it makes a little extra money for the aftermarket.

It's not an option on the GT500 anyway, but I did add the lockpick with rear camera on my V6 and I ended up taking the camera off. The ones that curve are sweet. You don't really need to look at cars on either side of you when backing into a spot.

It's a muscle car, not a Porsche 911 Turbo.

I feel ya. I completely agree, I think some guys go way too low on here as well. I just think factory is absurdly high tho. Im talking Buick ride height here. If stock was even a 1/2 inch lower it would make a huge difference in appearance. My econo box scion tc had less wheel gap then these mustangs. But hey itll be the first thing i fix so i guess i can deal with it for a week or 2.

This x 3. It's just a little too high. When its the first comment my wife makes (when I showed her pics of a 2013), its wayyyy too high. She's not car oriented.

Not just a price guide...but an updated order guide too!

In the current order guide silver stripes are not an option for the GT/CS in white...but the car they introduce at BJ is a white GT/CS with silver stripes?! Hopefully there are other changes throughout such color changes and availability of options ommited in the first printing.

Stripes weren't silver, they were a black fading stripe. They may also be reflective.
