Thought I'd Paint The Uprights Just for Arguments Sake. I think this will be the Biggest, Cheapest Mod on the 2010 GT's, Other than the Rear Bumper, but that ain't gonna be cheap.

Now thats an improvement. Between that black grille frame and the tail, what were the designers thinking. Can't believe after the rush I got from the '05-'09, I can be so disappointed. So many styling blunders. I fear what will happen with the 1st major redo in 2015. The tiny hips are not worth all the design mistakes. The 2010 will never achieve the following that the 05-09 enjoys. That was a gotta have it, the 2010 will be a gotta settle.

Yeah, now we're talkin! Makes all the difference in the world Tampa Bear... Now what to do about the rear end? Maybe just fire up the ole moto-tool and knife off the lower portion of the diaper?

i know i'm in the minority but i like the rear (though i admit i could do with a little less of the black plastic) and the 2010 is a "gotta have it" for me...and i cant wait to get mine...

umm, no. my bike is painted flat black and it is cleared with flat clear, do not know the particulars. it does however mark up easy but it does clean evenly and is not textured.

Yeah, okay. That's because you have a flat clearcoat on it. Most of the matte black finishes and almost all of the old flat black finishes (for example, found on the hoods of older Mustangs) were not clearcoated. That's why flat black paint tends to trap dust...it's not smooth because there's no clearcoat.

My sentiments exactly, and I'm starting to like it so much that I almost don't wanna wait for the 5.0

That white one looks great for a base model.

And I've changed my mind. I say screw 'em both. I'll take the '67.

I actually prefer the blacked-out grille "posts." It makes it look way more aggressive, IMO.

You Can't Get Much More Patriotic Than This!



Thanks, TopNotch! Awesome Pic's! This is the First Pic of Cloth Interior I've Seen. I can't tell from this pic, what does the Cloth Look Like? Is it like the 05-09's with all the Horses Woven Into It? It looks different.

Nice job Shawn, that looks great. While I still don't think the GT nose looks as good as the V6 nose, painting in the uprights makes a huge difference.

Sounds like those Lambo guys are trying to impress their girlfriends by naming paint colors after them.

im also starting to feel the same way, if i decide to get a GT the 315 hp will be enough for me, since i will use it as a daily driver.

Did anyone else notice the divots in the front bumper of the Grabber Blue car, for the license plate bracket?

If my dealer drills the holes and mounts the bracket on mine... I won't accept the car...
