Traded My 2011 Brembo for a 2013 Vert

Well, after over 2 years of driving and customizing my 2011 5.0 Coupe with Brembo package, I decided to get a new GT. I got lazy and got a pretty well equiped Vert with the new automatic. Only have 300 miles so far, but it feels nice and solid. Not quite as fast as my manual with 3.73 gears, but fast enough.

Anyways, here are some photos

nice man, you're going to love it.

I have a 2011 brembo vert and I love every minute with the top down, wouldn't have it any other way.

First mod should be cdc light bar, really changes the look in a great way

Nice to have an automatic now. The Brembo car was awesome, but this is just so much smoother and easier to drive. Especially in traffic.

My dealer wants $300 labor to install the CDC bar...is that too much? Sounds kind of high to me.

Possibly the CDC lightbar and the Cervini Side scoops. Eventually maybe a center fog Light grille. But for now, just going to leave it alone.....have to replenish my savings!! LOL

IMO, that is way too high as it took me all of 2 hours to install mine. Simple process that includes removing the rear side panels and drilling a couple holes.

Nice! Did you keep any of your old mods? Should've kept the taillights as spares haha!

I Kept the Chrome Trim from under the hood, and my 1970 Tri-bars, which are on the door panels. So, I am now with an empty slate again! I plan on keeping this one much simpler than my previous Mustangs.

Let the Modding Begin!

OK, I just installed the CDC Lightbar. The Cervini side scoops will be next.

I got lucky! A dealer friend of mine sold to me for 10% over cost and only $130 for the install. Total was $540 with tax. I always thought the light bar looked cool, so this is my first one!

Very nice. Is the light bar for looks, or is it for roll overs also?

Looks, as it is not welded in. But it does add a bit of structural intergity...and a cool 4th brake light!
