nice job

Is this a photoshop? If so, good job..

It was my understanding the GT/CS could not be ordered with the glassroof option...I wonder why?

Not a 'shop -- A reader with a Ford-employee neighbor sent it in to us as a tip. Here's the guy's photobucket album...3 more angles of the GT/CS and a few shots of an MKS the same neighbor also brought home.

I like the strip and the glass roof is nice but I still would like to see some exterior upgrades to the tail lights and grill to really make it a CS.

Don't think the white stripes are going to work on all colors. Not liking it on Candy Apple Red.

That glass top steering while almost looks or it could be wishful thinking that it has the SYNC system ?

Yeah I hate to say it but I don't know if the white will look good and many colors, maybe vista blue and black but that's it.

I think it will stick out to much. On mine the black stripe while having lots of contrast also has other black to go with like the tires all the window trim, grill, etc. so it doesn't look out of place but I think the white will, though maybe it'll be cool on a white car like the current black but stealth white!

IMO, Silver would be a better and more universal additional color for the GT/CS stripe.

Well the original GT/CS had red stripes on white cars also.

Yes it's not the white though it's the fade as the fade has to rely on the color behind it to make it and sometimes that can make unwanted effects.

I beleive this is why Ford only went with black initially. I recall reading it someplace.

The difference is (in my mind anyway) is that this car does not have a lot of black accents, they are all chrome. The new mustangs have black around the windows, black mirrors, and black on the bumpers and the white fading stripe just does not go.

I agree on both counts. I think the face makes it look wierd on the 09. Somehow it seems more fitting on the original without the fade. Perhaps it is the switch from chrome to black trim. I do think it will look getter on other colors like Black and Vista Blue, perhaps even Tourch Red.
