Trading my Black 2011 5.0 Premium (MT) in on a 2013 Grabber Blue Premium (AT) tomorrow afternoon. I signed up for the private offer (brochure), but haven't received it. Can someone remind me the name of dealer system they can check for that offer to see if I can get it?

My current Stang was a weekend / fun car and only has 2200 miles on it, so I'm getting an excellent trade-in price. Wife can't drive a manual and I really don't want to teach her on a 5.0. This will allow her to drive it when needed and make my commute for a new job much easier. Even though I love my manual trannies, I've never been a big fan of the 6-speed anyway. I've never had it in for service for the stiffness/notchiness, but I always run into the skip-shift and hate the location of the reverse gear.

 

Don't forget to take plenty of pics then post them!

 

Definitely post pics

 

Have the dealer check your name in the VINCENT system.

I signed up for the brochure but never got it. My name was in the system and I got the rebate on my '13 GT purchase.

Good Luck!

 

I got three brochures and no rebate

 

Ahh VINCENT! Thanks a bunch. No way I would have remembered that. I will take lots of pics. First mod is gonna be the plasti-dip of the engine heat extractors in black. Love the car, but it needs some contrasting colors.

 

Good idea. I don't know much about plasti dip but guessing once its done it can't be removed?

 

It can be removed. Which is why it's so popular.

 

Definitely removable, more easily so with 4-5 light coats.

 

How did you go about painting the heat extractors?

 

Now that looks sharp. It does really bring the front and back end together. Assuming just spray cans instead of really "dipping' them. i saw there's an enhancner also to use afterwards if you want it shiny like back end. Kinda like the matte finish though.

 

There' was just a thread a few days ago on how to remove them. I'm looking for it now myself

 

Grats, GB looks better to me every time I see it. I do like the black accents with it.

 

Sounds pretty easy

Remove two push pins closest to windshield on each side to allow better access.

One 9mm nut on each extractor, then you squeeze each of 3 sets of retaining clips as you pull the extractor out.... Should've taken pics!

The passenger side bolt/nut has a plastic holder for the windshield washer hose that just slides off the bolt.

 

 

Sweeeettt. Very nice.

 

Looks great!!!! Congrats!

 

Any tips on minimizing wheel spin with the auto? I'm getting pretty terrible 0 - 60 times ATM. I did the 1/8 in 9.2 @ 84.9 mph though, which seemed okay. What kind of 1/8 mile times should I be able to get.

 

press lesss hard?
