The clear bra was applied by Speed Shield of Addison Texas. They use a product called Venture Shield.

Awesome color combo! It's very sexy.

Where did you get that mount for the Valentine? That's sweet and did you install it yourself?

The Valentine mount is actually originally made for a 350Z. You just have to measure the diameter of the rear view mirror and go here: http://www.countryjoycrafts.com/350Z/valentinemount.htm
For the power cord go here: http://www.invisicord.com/docs/quickconnect.pdf
Yes, I installed it myself.
There you go................now you know all my secrets.
Thanks for the compliment on the color....................I agree.

Not sure. The Kikker system ultimately would not fit in my car because it just simply isn't designed for the convertible nor will it work with the Electronics Package w/Nav.
I gave up and am now just considering a JL Stealthbox Sub.
Thanks

Christie, I had one of those mounts for a DashHawk in my 6. MGT makes one called the Blendmount that does the same thing. Also, you can wire it in via the rear view mirror power, or run the hard wire kit that companies like Escort have with the remote silence button down and mount those elsewhere. Very nice and I plan on one for the GT as well.

Awesome looking car, love the color combo.

Randy you will be SO much happier with the Stealthbox. SQ and fit/quality will be much better. I'd suggest adding Bit One from Audison in to the mix. Once you upgrade the bass, you'll probably want to do the rest of the system (unless you already added the Kicker components for the interior?).

No, I didn't upgrade the fronts yet at all. Would the bitone help me any at all seeing as there isn't a sub out on the NAV Sync units?

P.S. I had a stealthbox with a W3 in a 2003 Harley F-150 and it Rocked.
The stealthbox for the Stang is a W6 ~

Yep. Check out the audio thread on the main page where I mention the Roush that my old work did. I used to work at a high end audio shop. The bitone will give you 8 channels of outputs: high, midrange, mid-bass, and sub-bass. And it also adds a 31 band EQ to every input/output channel . I didn't get to hear the system they did on the Roush but my old boss said it rocked. They used the Stealthbox (yep, 13W6!), JL ZR800 8" mids and Focal 5.25" K2P components in the doors, 6.5" K2 coaxials in the rear (I'd skip rear speakers, but in a vert you might want the extra sound), and powered it all with an Audison LRx5.1k. The rear speakers were ran off the factory amp. The car did not have the EP, but that wouldn't be an issue. If you know audio, you know you're looking at around $7k in components and installation here, so I don't know how crazy you want to go. That was all top of the line stuff installed at a top of the line shop...

How did you get those red striped seats as the order guide doesn't show that you can get them with Sterling gray and the PP?

Striped Seats

On any GT500 when you get the stripes on the outside of the car, it comes with the corresponding stripes in the seats. Go to Ford.com, build a Mustang GT500 and do the stripes and it will illustrate that.
Thanks
Randy
