New GTCS Owner

Greetings,
I recently purchased my first GTCS and wanted to introduce myself as I have been enjoying the comments and information here. Honestly after owning two previous GT's (05-06) I did not know what a CS was. Saw one last month and my wife and I loved it. Got 2008 with 12k miles, 5 speed one owner, unmolested and can't find anything wrong with it. I added Corsa exhaust and will probably remain on the sidelines awhile as far as more mods go.....for now. Kind of a funky photo I know but it's all I have and too much snow to take it out now. Good to be back as a Mustang owner.

Looks like a very nice low mile stang. Nice find. Let's see how long you can hold off on the mods. It's hard to resist. :-)

Nice find!! It's never easy to find low mileage, non-abused, manual transmission cars. Looks like you did just that. Enjoy!
P.S. Pretty good color too.

Looks very good! Only thing I can see doing right away is tinting the turn signals to match the white/black theme. Congrats!

Welcome!

+1 to new turn signals, and a black set of wheels would like really nice too IMO

Nice find!

Liar, liar

Looks like I am already eating my words on sitting back in mods... I agree the tinted turn signals would be good and look better. Again hate to admit it but did not even know these were available. I looked at AM as they have various types but all have some negative comments on fit and finish. Have any of you tinted yours and if so can you suggest the best route??
Thanks again and please no more "suggestions" on mods....

Haha well, I recommend getting either clear corners or ones with a black housing. You can put tint over that and get rid of the orange all together.

Or you can just put film over your current ones or spray them with VHT nightshades
