Some much needed TLC....

After feeling bad for looking at possibly trading her in, I decided I hadn't given her the tlc she deserved and needed. So I gave her a nice exterior wash and just to change her look a bit, removed some exterior mods. (Blackout decklid, taillights, and foglight covers) It was nice to see the brightness of the taillights and how good she looked with her fog lights on. I ll probably give her a good interior cleaning and wipe down tomorrow after work. Also since I have been needing new tires desperately (but in the middle of purchasing a home, so all things at a halt) I decided to put her back to stock and remove the cai (since its tune required).

BTW she is a 2012 performance white base GT auto.

PS...I am super anxious and impatient to see what the new 2015 mustang is going to look like!!!

Sounds to me like you have "prepared" it for trade in!

I just checked out their blog, and I agree! I'm SO glad I got a 2014

Maybe it will grow on me over time, but my first impression was "unfinished". And what's up with those tail lights/diffuser?

Well there s still some other mods I would have to remove before I could even consider trading it in, but yea if I do decide to; I m a step closer.

I am waiting to see what the new mustang is going to look like to make a decision of even considering the new generation and if not possibly getting into a 2013/14 premium.

I did see a post on this "leak" which very soon will determine if it is truly the new 2015. If this is it, then I m very unsure of it. I like the side angle, looks like a mustang, but the front looks so-so; and the back to me looks horrid. I really hope I love it from the first sight because if not its going to be like when I saw the 05' for the first time, lost interest.

2015s may loss being an american muscle.. definitely think it'll win as global car. which is what ford is aiming for... they are focused on sales not on fans emotions/love.

2013-2014 are the best Mustangs since 1970, in my opinion. Glad I got a new 2014. I do not like the new one.

Me myself I being 26 yrs old, I fell in love with mustangs at the age of 13 when I saw the 1999 mustang commercial. At 16 I got my first car and mustang, a 2004 red mustang v6 with pony package. I ll never forget that feeling . After indulging on the history of the mustang, I loved the 68-71 fastbacks, boss, mach 1, and of course shelby, as well as, the fox bodies. Anyways so after the new 2005-2009, I lost interest and almost bought a camaro back in 2010. Thankfully they released the 2011-2014 with the 5.0 and I was hooked again.

Lol, thanks man. Honestly I had alot more plans for her, but i think its the fact that my mod budget got cut. As soon as this new year kicks in, I ll be able to get back on track with the plans I had.

Yes it is a gloss black vynl wrap.
