You're right they are the V6 Performance Package wheels which are black.
The GT/CS wheels are argent colored (dark met. grey).

Here are some more shots of the rear deck blackout panel on my car.

Got the hood stripe on...the shape is a little different than the stock one but it's close enough.

Love the Boss hood decal. I want to do the same to my car.
I appologize if you mentioned this before, I did a quick scan
of this thread and didn't see anything, where did you get the
hood decal from?

Tony - how are those all-season Pirelli's working out for you?
Mike - I see a GT500 rear wing, nice! Details? Where/price/install? Mine is on order, 3dCarbon, pre-painted from CJPony. Can't wait to get put it on when it gets here!

I ordered from ProMotorStripes...the hood stripe prices out around $45.00. A little side note for you. The one that is on the hood now was done by a local company that did the installation because the installer had difficulty with the ProMotorStripes material and application process. In fact, the first attempt at installing was not successful. They made a stripe from a different material (supposed to hold up to the sun when applied facing it) which was easier for them to put on the hood. However, the design does not precisely match the stock Boss shape like the ProMotorStripes one did.

The more I looked at it this evening, the less I liked it. And after the $95 I spent for their version, along with a $75 installation charge, I've written them back to see if they can redo this.

I've seen a few threads out there for the one from Ford that costs over $300. I like the ProMotorStripes version, and I did like dealing with the company. They actually sent me another decal at no charge, even though technically it was not their responsibility for the failed attempt.

Hopefully this helps.

Thanks

I've been watching the Promotorsports one on ebay just haven't pulled
the trigger. I did some searching and finally found the p/n for the
factory hood stripe CR3Z 6320000-AC (the last two letters probably
change depending on color). http://www.tousleyfordparts.com
has it for 259.66 still pretty expensive but it is the factory part.
Tousley Ford is not too far from where I live so I could go pick it up
and save the shipping.

If I did it again, I would consider it. In theory, it should have the durability and no issues with the design. The ProMotorStripes decal material was selected for its durability. The application process seemed to rely very heavily on getting the alignment over the ridge down the middle of the hood. That's what's caused the installation problem, along with the wet application process.

I'm kind of leaning toward the factory one for the same reasons you state.
Maybe if I get a tax refund I'll spring for the factory one.

As is yours! Thanks for letting me hear the quad-exhaust. I hope one makes it to market for the '05-'10s.

dwtc has one on his 2011...with the GT500 mufflers, it really sounds great! I am crossing my fingers for an adaptation for the '05-'10s. The '11+ pipes won't fit on a '10 because of the engine configuration difference.

Ford Racing released a version for the '10s but it comes with X-pipes instead of the H-pipes. My sound preference is the H-pipe configuration.

On a separate note, I will be getting a black Boss 302 lip spoiler and the rear decklid blackout put on the car soon. I waited awhile to see if I wanted to make the changes because I thought I might want to let the car go for a '13 Boss 302. Still having fun in the 2010 though!

Lastly, here are the measurements for the stripe. ProMotorSports did a great job on ensuring the C-part actually lined up with the stock GT emblem.
