I think those wheels look best on Sterling and Black.

Ahhh, that's my baby! (Minus the Brembos. Hope I don't wind up regretting that...) Sterling is sexy.

I was convinced I was going to own a Kona GT. Then I saw the Kona and Sterling in person. The purple in the Kona bothered me. Also, the Grabber I drove at Jeff's was MUCH better in person. Thought about getting that one too. Pictures do not do that color justice.

Apparently the guy with the black 5.0 didn't bring a camera

And that is exactly what I plan on getting, except I will likely do HIDs and possibly the camera. Thanks!

Why is it that almost all of the pictures I've seen of the 2011 (GT/CS Excluded) don't have a rear spoiler, yet I still haven't even seen a 2010 without a spoiler anywhere? Not even a Base V-6. I just don't get it. The designers went to the trouble, and attention to detail, to sculpt the top of the rear deck with a nice integrated lip spoiler and Ford hides it by slapping a piece of plastic over it. Even from this shot, you can see the sculpting the way it flips up at the trailing edge of the deck lid.

I agree, it looks 412x better w/o the spoiler but you are wrong, here is a 2010 w/o a spoiler: GT Premium - 2 weeks old.

Very nice, god that reminds me of my 87 T-Bird Turbo Coupe. I had the same color combination. It was BEAUTIFUL when it was clean, but that never lasted more than 30 min. This is how I always felt after detailing it..... LOL

I agree that it looks SOOOOO much better without a spoiler, but what I was commenting on was the fact that every single 2010 I've seen here in Tampa has a spoiler on it. I have yet to walk on a lot and see one without one, as I said, even all of the base model V-6's have them.

Thanks Topnotch, that's what I've been waiting for! This is the combo I've ordered too, spoiler delete and all, but with Saddle.

Unfortunately, your pictures only appear as red X's for me but at least I can see the one TampaBear put up!
