Well I'm guessing it was rare in 2011 as well that's why they quit producing it.

11.72% of all Mustangs in 2011, 5th most popular out of 9, after black (25.36%), kona (13.2%), race red (12.23%), white (11.78%), just before red candy (11.13%), followed by silver (9.2%), grabber blue (4.52%) & yellow blaze (.86%).

I'm surprised there were so many with a front license plate bracket already on. I thought that was left up to the dealer?

I think SG is going to be the best color on the 2013 works best with the blackout panel in the rear and offsets the darkplastic inserts in the front bumper just right. I would have got one myself if not for them canning the red interior option with SG.

Don't those camera's in those phones automatically orient themselves when you turn them on their side and take widescreen shots? Would have been tons better on the wide screen shot.

And boy doesn't that license plate opening in the rear bumper look HUGE on those light colored cars?

NOICE! Great post nickt916! I needed some fresh red meat to get me going today!

And I agree with you xlover - I think SGM will work the best with the new front/rear ends. SGM and a window tint will = MAGIC!

Wow good catch. That makes me very nervous now. I told my dealer if they drill holes in my front bumper i will not accept the car.

Edit: upon closer inspection i believe that the black block on the front of these cars is a foam bumper for protection during handling.

Everybody is stressing on this. A square foot of clear vinyl solves any potential issue.

That isn't a front bracket you see. Its a piece of white shipping wrap and a foam square on top of it to protect the front point of the bumper when they ship it.

The brackets are still thrown in the trunk when they are built and then put on at the dealer.

Believe me, the people who do the marketing on this car, know that of all the cars Ford makes, this is the ONE car that you DO NOT put a front bracket on at the factory like the F150s, Edges, Explorers, etc. They know their customers hate these brackets and don't want them on.

The phones won't go automatically to lanscape if the person taking the video holds the phone vertically!!! Seriously, if your going to take a video, any video with a cell phone, turn the phone sideways. I watched that and felt like I was in a tunnel.

That was my point, why don't people who do these videos turn the phone on it's side when they shoot?

And it always looks to me like they are shooting video through a hole cut in a box with the camera inside.

I'm sure the kid was unaware of these things when taking the video. He sounds like a teenager and we all know how reliable they can be when it comes to doing things right. Heheh
