New '11 Kona owner

While I'm not 'new' to Mustangs....I've had two classics in the past. 1966 (first car) & 1965 coupes. I recently sold the '65 and used that money towards the '11. The '66 is sitting in a barn waiting for me to get to it someday!

'11 Kona Blue GT Premium with saddle interior & 19" machined wheels.
Mods I've done so far:
White shift ****.
Windows tinted 30% front and 15% rear.

To do: GT500 or Roush axlebacks and lower the car 1".

I've just put over a thousand miles since I bought it on June 25th. I'm lovin it despite the fact I've had to take it in to the dealer twice for warranty work.

1. Had the front-end squeak problem going over speed bumps - dealer replaced the lower control arms and all is good now.
2. Fuel pump replacement - Tank would get just below half and I'd get a warning '4 miles to empty'. I ended up getting stranded on the side of the freeway and had to call Roadside Assist for gas even though there was 5 gals of gas still in the tank! DOH. Dealer changed the fuel pump and so far so good.

I've enjoyed checking out all the other Kona's on here so thought I'd join ya and brag!

Thank you. The saddle interior with the Kona Blue is what sold me. I love the combination!

I'm taking it slow on the mods.....but not to slow!

Wow, that color combo is killer! Did you go with the Roush shifter? The metal one that came in mine is killing me, I had to sit with the AC on for 10 min today before I could touch it.

Thanks!

I just replaced the shift **** with a white one from AmericanMuscle.com

I love the look of the metal shifter but I thought it would be hot to touch in the AZ summer.
