Wow!
Very nice!
Do you have a green and white license plate?
Even if not, I wouldn't let them drill the front bumper for a plate bracket 'cause it looks so good as-is.
If any problems, just tell them you listened to my advice and blame me.

How are you liking the seats with the special inserts? They felt a little bit different to me when i drove the CS and then a regular 5.0 with the stripe down the seat. Although that was only by being in the car for like 15 minutes so i didnt want to jump to any conclusions.

These seats seem to hold my body more comfortably, but then my last seats were 5 years old, so could have just been wear lol. I certainly like the feel of this cockpit better than my 06. With all the sun here, it's nice not to have all the reflective metal I did on the 06 dash front.
I've only cleaned the interior once and the inserts seemed to wipe down fine (I used an all in one disposable cloth for plastic/vinyl/leather - made by Turtle Wax I think). I'm not sure if you are supposed to use anything specific for the carbon fiber inserts...haven't seen any documentation alluding to such.

I moved from an 06 Mustang GT with stone leather interior to this, so it's taking a little getting used to the all black interior (HOT - and averaging 95+ here in Texas atm). As for comfort, I haven't noticed a great difference...I don't stick to them or anything. However, I've not been in this one for more than 20 - 30 minutes or so at a time.

So we'll have to see how that goes over. I won't be driving it full time. My father is using it for his DD but i get to have it whenever hes not at work. So every weekend and weekdays after 6 or somedays he will just take my car so i can enjoy it (yes hes an awesome father) we both pooled our money to buy it together and i get it for myself once i get out of college in 2 years.

That looks great! I agree that black looks great on the GT/CS. Mine's white, but my two previous vehicles ('06 300C and '10 F-150) were both black, but I *must* have a clean car and I live in an area with "hard" water. My wife's Suburban, my daughter's Scion Tc. and my son's Ram 2500 are all white and they clean up better (and easier) - no gray-ish random residue spots are visible. Enjoy - the 5.0 is a true joy to drive.

If you plan on going to the track and whatnot, i would say get the brembo pack. I just like the looks of the CS (interior and exterior). Would i have gotten the brembo with the CS if i could have? Hell yes! but since i dont plan on doing anything special the CS was the better choice for me.
