Have you ever wanted to tell Ford your idea!
Thought this was a great idea and with all the creativity here might get some attention! I suggest to keep it real IRS is a dead horse in my opinion so leave it dead, get more creative than that. Can't wait to see some of your ideas posted.

Ya Ford, quit cheaping out and invest in some paint, so as to paint over the black plastic lower panels and the rear end diaper and match the rest of the vehicle's paint job...

I submitted these two things
1) Wide rear wheels and better tires for the GT500
2) HID offered on every model and trim. It's stupid you can only get HID on the Taurus SHO but not the SE.

I'd like to know how they justify pricing the (base) CAD GT $15500 (67%!) more than the (base) CAD V-6.
Yes, the CAD GT includes US-Premium, IUP, heated leather, SAT shaker and SYNC but even if you option up a sixer, the difference is still $8000. The tranny is the same; the good gears, wheels, tires, security and HID's are $$$ options on both models. I'll give you $3000 for the motor option and the 5.0 badge (even though the difference in manufacturing costs is likely less than $1000)
The Mustang GT is overpriced by $5000 in Canada.

From the site's terms of service:
I had a summer job working for a small company that designed and implemented modifications to private aircraft. EVERY WEEK we would get faxes about someone's confidential idea to build some doo-hickey that violated the laws of physics.

How about a SPARE TIRE OPTION for V6 buyers.
Been standard in ALL base Mustangs from 1964-2010 and now for 2011, you get a mobility kit and no spare option unless you get a non-Brembo GT then a spare comes std.
In another thread it is stated that Fleet buyers can get an opt. V6 spare for $100 ... why not make this available to everyone ??

Mine was adding the Eco route as an update for the vehicles with Electronics package. I'd opt for it if it was <$100 if it can save me gas. Sure, it can be considered common sense to some, but it might make you rethink your commute or travel.
