I asked them to NOT clean up the car in any way so I could do my own stuff on it. No shine, no wash, no removing plastic, no front license plate mounting, nada! They obliged and I was happy...

Is the paint code the same for the two colors?
CX = dark shadow grey
UJ = sterling grey

I think DSG is a touch darker, at least as seen by my eyes.

It was not, as I have it as part of the collection. It is the 2001 Bullitt that was built up by Scott Hoag of MRT (formerly of Ford and Team Mustang) into a supercharged, street legal but track drivable car. It is the "Bullitt Reload" Mustang that was profiled in 'Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords' a few years ago.

Looks GREAT Tony, love the color. I agree on the GT500 wheels, they look awesome with your color.

Congrats on the new Mustang, Tony! Let the modding begin!
Actually instead of for 1 new 2 wheel drive 3 link suspended 4 wheel disc 5 lug 6 cylinder Mustang, he traded his 07 in for an 8 cylinder Mustang in 09, which was a 10 on the 11th day of the 12th month.

You bought 4 GT500 wheels for your 5 speed Mustang, after owning 6 previous cars making the Mustang the 7th car you owned, so you picked an 8 cylinder in '09, which was a '10 on the 11th day of the 12th month?!

I love the views of the hood line and the "hips" looking out the windshield and side mirrors, respectively.
