Oh well. I thought the Nav screen would be dated in a few years and I was pushing the limits of all reason with the price of the car as it was. Chose the roof over the EP.
I need more daytime driving in it There are subtle things that I've noticed so far. Like the disappearing cup holders similar to my 2010 Taurus. And the window buttons on the door are in a lower position because the door arm slopes downward at the front. The positioning and height of the center console seems perfect for me. Much less noticeable as it should be. The 07 feels clumsier. I reached out and touched the dash and it was soft which was cool. really the only hard plastic I've noticed is the doors. Haven't looked at the a-pillars yet to see if they are fabric covered like the SHO was.
I need some daytime seat time.

The EP is nice. I know it will seem outdated in a few years, but it gives the interior a great feel and look, and the functionality is great (right now). I'm glad I got it. I love the touch screen and the hard drive, I'm old school and I put a lot of CDs into it.

I know it is, when I was in the market I would've gotten both. But the lack of support for updates makes me question wanting it in the long run...

The glass roof is so freakin awesome. Best decision I made. The Shaker sound system is crap. I freaking hate it. I also regret not getting electronics package if only to have dual zone climate control and some sort of auto function. I am so used to using the auto temp function in the Raptor and the Navigator I hate not having it in the Shelby.
But for me the rear taillights and the glass roof make this car for me. Also am very glad with the Recaros. And while I second guessed the color forever I am happy with that now too.
The black and white contrast is something that really makes the car for me. It's a combo I first noticed on the 07-09 GT/CS cars and knew it'd look good on these too.
The screen? It's open. Not sure I'll ever close it. I've got a full head of hair. No sunburn on my cranium here.

So now we want the dash to be soft but the seats (recaro's) to be hard.

Interesting... the narrow red stripes look great on Lee's black. But the wider black stripes look better on Gary's white. Are the 2013 wider stripes due to a model year change or because of special order?
