Yep, you have to order the car with a confirmation as a GT CS In Race Red. Then Ford Racing sends the kit to the dealer and they retro fit the car. In 1979 it was close to the same thing, all the pace cars had all the decals and emblems in the hatch along with the satin jacket and some dealers installed the kits and some did not, most did I'm guessing but the built thousands of those...Only 50 of these kits are being done.

Also, its been buggin me, I cant stand my wheels.... I know some like the 19's and they have the GT engraved and all but once I saw these I had to have them and for 140.00 each including the center... I pulled the trigger, IMO the sexiest wheel Ford has produced!

19" SVTPP wheels are the way to go, IMO, if you've got the cash

Those 2011 SVT wheels are expeeeensive! At that point, I think i'd be looking at another company if I were to spend that much money.

You can't beat those 2010 GT500 wheels though. I love them.

They're expensive, but a true bargain in actual forged wheels.

Added the Boss 302 Grill just like the original pace car and the splitter.. Only thing left to do is lowering springs and the wheels/tires and I'll have what I have been looking for...

The 18" are not made the same as the 19" which is why the 18" are cheap by comparison!!!

why does your pace car not have a glass roof?

I ordered it without it.. I liked it but all our vehicles have a sunroof or is a convertible and I really just wanted the solid roof...
