I really hope all of you guys get your cars soon! i have a friend who ordered a GT premium a week after I ordered my car (4/20 for me) and I got mine 2 weeks ago and his hasn't been built yet 
and with the factory closed this week, he's pretty sad. I only have a V6 premium but I'm sure to give him plenty of rides to keep him pumped for his.
Also, I have no way to make a visualization for you all, but I'm curious as to the consensus of the crowd. I have the sterling gray, and i got equip option 201A which came with the black side stripe. I've been thinking about over the top stripes and I definitely want the dual (prob 10") over the top stripes, but can't decide on color. black makes sense to match the side stripe but I also think a deeper red would be cool and unique. but that requires replacing the black side stripe...pain in the ***! I had a friend from work suggest black over the top stripes and a thin stripe on the outsides of those in red and to accent the side stripe in the deep red as well...thoughts? Here's the car as is...unfortunately with iPhone hope to take legit pics soon
And here's someone on this forum's SG with the stripe pattern i want but the thin ones would be a deeper ruby red

Looking at the picture idk if I like the black stripes now. The matte color seems to take away from the glossy color of the car but if you got them painted it might flow together better.

ETA!
So I got with Deysha (thank Deysha for the primo info!) and looks like my approximate delivery date is 15 July which is cool.
The color Shelby I ordered is Ingot Silver with Red stripes. I have only seen (2) 2013/2014 of this color combination online, and 1 was a convert. (mine is coupe). I'm wanting to change the wheels, but not sure what design would look best. Any suggestions? I'm kinda tired of the black/mesh look.

A local friend has a 2011 GT 500 that color combo. It is sharp.
Deysha just helped me out also with some information indicating my spouse's GT500 is being processed. I remain dubious that it will actually get built until after Flat Rock comes back from its July shutdown.
If anyone has any updated information on the length of the July Flat Rock shutdown, I would appreciate it. I have seen several articles in which Ford indicates that it is going to reduce the shutdown period for some plants due to increased vehicle demand. It appears that Flat Rock will get another shift for maybe a Fusion line.
Does anyone know the statistics on how many Shelbys are produced per day at Flat Rock and the number of shifts devoted to Shelbys?

Thanks Scott. My concern is over the posts that say the purpose of the July shutdown is to train personnel to build Ford Fusions, presumably at Flat Rock. I have also heard that 2014 will be a short model year given the intended introduction of the redesigned 2015 platform. Then, I saw a link from Deysha suggesting unexpected vehicle demand may temper the lenght of the forthcoming July shutdown.
Operating a common paint shop for both models is why 2014 went to Oxford White and Ruby Red - just like Fusion.

Hey everyone. New to the forum. Like many of you I'm anxiously awaiting my 2014 Mustang GT as well.
It's good to hear some people got theirs fairly quick. Dealer says 6-8 weeks, and looks like a lot of people get their vehicle in that time frame.
I ordered mine on 4/26/13, and 6 weeks later I still don't have a VIN or a production date. Starting to get a little worried. I want to track the car this summer, and a I'm afraid I'll miss out one some track events if there are delays with the order.
I ordered a Sterling Gray 2014 GT Base manual with Track Package and Recaro Package.

Find out your order number, priority number and dealer number. Then send it to Deysha at Ford Customer Service through a PM on this Board. She will give you the information you need.

Hey Marcin. I placed my order on 4/3. Seems Shelby's have been taking 10-12 weeks order to delivery. I've seen many GT's and V6's delivered within 6 weeks after order, someone just received one in just less than a month. Deysha usually responds within 48 hours. Once you get a response from her, I would follow up with my dealer if I was you. You want to make sure you have a Priority number of 10. 6 weeks with no VIN seems like a long time for a GT. Hopefully when Deysha responds she has good news for you that your dealer failed to pass along.

Thank you for the heads up Scott. I double checked my DORA, and the Priority number is indeed 10. I hope to hear some good news soon.
Just a few more days till you get your sweet new ride. Hang in there!

Hey man, car looks SIIIICK. I love that color, that's what I ordered mine in.
As for the stripes, it's hard to find a good look for the Sterling gray. Black I think is the best, but if you add the red accent stripe the car would look even better. Specially if you can find black or charcoal wheel with red rim outline later on.
