I personally love the way this car looks. Not a huge fan of the Track pack badge...it's color kinda pulls my eyes from the rest of the car. If it was chrome like the 5.0 i wouldn't mind it at all. As for the Boss LT graphic.....it doesn't bother me like i thought it would, or like it does everyone else. Love the plastidipped wheels, they really look good. As a whole it is one of the nicer GT's on the site. Well done. It's your car bro, keep it like you want it. As for the public opinion.....it is what it is. When you post pictures on a public forum, you will get their opinion....good and bad. Just all part of it.

Why is it so important for people to know you have the track pack? I've never seen someone make a comfort package badge, or a tech badge. It's only you track pack guys.
As for the boss LT, I'm not a fan of misbadging. There is a guy where I live with a Chrysler 300 with 24 inch bling asanti rims and he badged his car with Bentley emblems.

That dealer may find themselves sued out of business if they continue to do that. "Boss" is a registered trademark of Ford (corporate not dealers) and "Super Snake" is a registered trademark of Shelby America used under license by Ford (again, corporate not dealers). Trademark holders won't usually go after individuals who misuse their trademarks for personal use but they get really aggressive protecting trademarks from commercial misuse. That dealer would be liable for treble damages under trademark law.

Realistically, most people won't know the difference between a Boss, Shelby, GT, Super Snake, GT350, Boss LT, Colt 305, Le Car, etc. If I had time, woulda bought a GT instead and made it a sleeper. That being said, I'm not a big fan of the labels, but like I said, no one will know the better ... except maybe here ...

I tell you what though. I bet you any amount of money that most if not all of the "purists" on this forum who also have v8's would look down on me and probably mock me behind my back for my "6" whereas general car enthusiasts are just more interested in enjoying a car for what it is without being **** about what should or shouldn't go on MY Mustang.

Do you by any chance live in San Antonio? Did you happen to see the red v6 in the showroom with the boss stripes on it?

Yes. I bought mine at Jordan. They had the green V6 out on the patio. Didn't notice a red one... but I saw a V6 with the BOSS stripes there long while back... and maybe even before the BOSS hit the streets.

Badass looking car, badges are the only negative.
Id love the stripe without the lettering...track pack badge is too show-offy and ricey, IMO. The wheels already indicate that its a track pack car.
To each his own. theyre definitely not terrible looking, imo.

fyi if you post pics in a public forum what do you think you are asking for??
fo·rum/ˈfôrəm/
Noun:
1.A meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged.
2.An Internet message board.
if he didnt want people to say something he would post on a public forum over and over again. If he didnt want people to look at his car he wouldnt post pics. If he didnt want people to see his car stand out he would stop sticking things to his car. I still do not thinnk anyone has been tasteless with comments and most of this has been very light hearted. Go to a STI, evo bmw, vett or honda forum or even a svt and or a shelby forum and you will see truly mean evil comments and attacks. Whats wrong with this world today when you are in the wrong for simply not liking what someone else has done.
who would of thought a place filled with mustang enthusiasts that worry about proper bolts and grease marks would have an opinion on something car related.

but those vehicles you mentioned are all Oem badged... He was referring to additional badging placed by the owner or dealership not officially from the factory.

Actually, many of the Shelby owners say they don't mind misbadged cars as long as it's executed well, and the owner doesn't claim it's a real Shelby when asked. Shelby's (and BOSSes) have been copied since they were originally introduced, so i think there's a certain amount of numbness over it, with the possible exception of the newer (younger) late-model owners.

Just sayin...
BTW, what Shelby did you used to have? I used to have a 65 GT-350 R-Model clone - dual quad 302 (with OEM intake, carbs, and dual-point distributer), toploader, narrowed 9-inch with 31-spline axles, disc brakes, welded-in roll cage, fiberglass racing seats 5-point Simpson harness, and anything not directly related to speed or safety ripped from the car. It was my daily driver. I'd never had it up against a real R-Model, but it was fast enough to turn 13's in the 1/4 mile at OCIR on pump gas and street tires, and I used to race it at Riverside before they closed that track down.

I'm not an ex-Shelby owner, and I've been to the factory in Vegas as well (1997). People are generally pretty polite to me when I remind them that Texas is a concealed-carry state. I'm not sure how "telling me off" in a parking lot - or anywhere else for that matter - would be beneficial to the person being an asshat.

No, I have never been tempted to put "BREMBO" stickers all pver my car. anyone who cares what the car is, already recognizes it.
