AFBLUE cancels his 08 mustang order for an 08 SGT Cpe

Well 4 years and 4 months after first showing up on TMS, and 3.5 years after the first TMS member got the first S197, I finally ordered mine.

Here's what I ordered (see attachment). I had initially planned to get the polished 18" bullitt wheels and Nav system, but cancelled that today. That decision frees up ~$3K for aftermarket mods. Besides, I'm planning to get aftermarket wheels anyway.

No real surprises for those who know me on here. A Silver Metallic GT coupe with the obligatory 13D spoiler delete option.

I did decide to splurge on a few things that I originally wasn't going to get:
Premium Trim Package, HID Headlamps, and ambient lighting. I figured after waiting this long, I deserved a few "nice to have" goodies.

So far my experience with Kimnach Ford in Norfolk has been a pleasant experience. Orsen Vangay (my saleman), Tim, and Robert (sales managers) have been great to work with.

I ordered the Premium Trim package with the black/dove color accents They had an example on the lot with the woven charcoal applique and that sold me on this combo.

So what grille are you going with???? Can't wait to hear your decision. I had a great experience at the dealership only to have it completely ruined by the incompetent service dept...
