Kona Blue with CS Fascia

So if Ford wouldn't make a cali special in Kona Blue I'll do it for them. I haven't gotten fogs yet. I ordered the CS grill because I really didn't like the grill fogs, but now that they're gone I kinda miss them.... I had the grill surround painted to match and will probably get the lower fascia painted as well.

2011 GT Premium with Brembos so I don't hit something endangered, HIDS so I can see it if I want to hit it, Security to keep the goonies off my gear, Glass roof so I can work on my tan in traffic, FRPP handling pack 1" drop so I can drive under tractor trailers.

Cool

Very nice! I'm planning on getting the CS Fascia on mine later on as well.

Kinda partial to the color, too!

I think it looks great as is. I would add the fogs in the CS fascia and leave the rest as is.

Looks really good! This was my original plan as well. Brembo package with CS front end.

In the end, I decided on the Saleen grill with the CS valance and fogs.

Here's a couple pics for comparison.

Yeah if you are taller the glass roof is awesome, leave it open and no more static hair cling on a fuzzy roof. And its funny because I got the Stang to replace a WRX I flipped onto its side and skid 100 yards down the road, so I'm a guy that should probably be looking at the durability of a steel roof....

I didn't drive the car very long before I got the pack. Stock it had too much roll and dive for my taste. The FRPP pack rides much flatter. It is stiffer, and verging on uncomfortable on rough roads, but less bouncy. Overall a good buy for what you get.

Look into the Koni SRT from sam strano for $499. They really took the bite out of the FRPP handling pack. A lot less jarring and actually made the car stay even flatter in braking, accelerating and cornering.

It made a big difference for me. I also had the handling pack installed a week after I got the car. I drove it for about 5 months and really couldnt take the jarring anymore. I have had the Koni's now about 2 months and my daily commute is much more enjoyable. Best of both worlds.

Those dampers will have to be moved up on the mod list.

Anytime Lou. I believe you were my inspiration for getting Kona anyways, so glad to return the favor!
