No CS had a dash plaque I've ever seen, There was a guy making them for owners, but they are not stock.

I also believe you could get a CS with out the 1up I remember I had to order it as an option (I ordered mine from the factory) It looks like you have the two tone interior which only came with the CS.

Yup just looked at my Window sticker, the 1up was an extra option, so you could get it without it.

 

The vin checks out and if you look back in the beginning of the forumsfrom 2006 there were cars without any interior upgrades. It is a true gtcs, i will send more pics

 

2 more pics included

 

man that thing is good lookin!

 

you can see the discoloration in the rear bumper on the right side under the taillight

checked the vin again, its definitly at gtcs an early one at that

 

the car also came with bassani axle backs and a catted x pipe, clear front bra and tinted windows, it was almost a 40 thousand sticker price back in 07

 

The GT/CS plaques are defenately after martket. No such option on them.

 

So with the current mods i would guess the car should have a tune or programmer put in it. I also assume i should run super gas not regular with these mode and it also had a cold air kit on it

 

As for the IUP, that is an option for 2007 so you can either have Satin Dash, Charcoal Dash or just an regular dash with no IUP. The Dash Plaque was created by Dave (jacostang) as an after market item this was not a standard factory item. If you have the VIN I can check the the window sticker or you can go to my link at http://gtcsregistry.com/windowsticker.htm

the vin is good, i used the site and it confirms it is a true gtcs with lots of options, like i said almost 39 grand

 

The only year the IUP was standard was 2009 where the Satin dash was standard and the Charcoal dash was optional.

Perhaps you could email me your VIN so I can add you to the GT/CS registry site if you like. Here is my email addy. GTCSfourms@comcast.net

Ron message sent to your emial

What do you thinki should say to the dealership about the bumpers???

How much to get two new ones put on, do you know??

 

As for the dealer I would go back to them to see what they say about it but I can just hear it...You bought the car as is but if they were looking to keep your business then they should fix it but again it is a used car... I don't know what the price would be for new bumpers but I know it would not be cheap for replacements and paint work. I have not received the email from your yet.

Thanks,

Ron

 

Sorry there was a typo on the email addy the correct one is GTCSforums@comcast.net

How much to paint both bumpers

Front is 399 unpainted
and rear is 355 unpainted

How much labor

I am trying to decide my approach for my call to the sales or general manger

 

My best guess would be about 300.00 per bumper but this would be a Calif. price you may do better somewhere else. I got your email and your car is now in the database and website.

P427: IMO. By the pictures shown this is a nice looking GT/CS vert. A very popular color and has some great aftermarket additions already installed! The steering wheel looks as if it could have been swapped? We took ours out and replaced same with a Bullitt unit, because could not stand all of that reflection going on there. Easy change out if you don't like it! The rest of That "CS" interior looks pretty great!

The scrapes on the bottom of the front area are quite common on these and the Shelby GTs too. Because they sit so low. We really baby our CalStang's body and have gotten a few of those down there also! Looked at your rear end picture and really don't see the blue mark you discussed below the tail light? (See the P.S. below now).

The bottom line is how much you paid for this GT/CS! If you got it for a deal, then be happy you have a GT/CS vert and do some detail and polishing fixs! On the other had, if you paid too much for it and now want it fixed? You may be in for a big agreement fight? To get things done by the dealer that sold it to you? And if it is not from a Ford dealership, you may just be out of luck, to get them to agree to help you with some of these concerns?

Lastly. Just remember that is not a brand new car that you have purchased! These Cals are very wonderful machines! And an absolute joy to own and drive! Don't let this detailing stuff completely ruin your possibilities of having a very good, happy time with your GT/CS ride. "Good Luck" CalStang

P.S. Now I see the paint problem there on the far right side of the rear bumper cover! Agree. Needs a color re-shoot and clear coat, then good as new again! CalStang

 

You don't need a rear bumper, you just need it re-shot.

I didn't think you could get a non-IUP or at least non-ICAP dash in the things. Interesting. Glad to know that it's a real one though.

 

Good luck at the dealer. Your best bet would have been to NOT drive it off their lot with the damage that you're describing but that's too late now. Again, best of luck.
