Looks good, almost as good as the Gotta Have it Green. I have a co-worker that has a grabber blue GT and we have a great time every time we leave work.

We liked Gotta Have It Green as well, but in the end, we saw one of the Grabber Blue ones at a parking lot and and just felt like it was more for us.

I grew up in the Sixties where friends of mine had 396 Chevelle Super Sports and Vettes, and they were often blue, so it was probably the ghosts of my past tugging at me

Congrats, I have a stock strut tower brace I can sell you. Do you ever get over to the West palm area?

And for exhaust the GT500's are the most inexpensive mufflers around but sound the best..
Haha that sounds familiar...

In stock form, the gt is already a pretty impressive car. I did the gt500 axel backs just for the sound. I waited about 6 months of driving and evaluated what I felt could be better. I changed the shift **** and suspension. I recommend driving it stock for a while. Things that jump out at you and you annoy you, change those things first. Mod to address your issues with your car. It's easy to get caught up with what everyone suggests.

Hey thx. How much should have a shop put those axel backs on run? Is it a 500-600 job with parts? I know they sound great...

Even someone not mechanical can do them.... Don't waste the money unless you simply do not want to do them or don't have simple tools...

I bought my 2014 GT back in August. First mod I did was add a Roush AB. Then a UPR oil catch can. I also did the OEM takeoff strut tower brace from Roush on ebay. I added the rubber all weather Ford floor mats as well as the Ford rubber trunk liner, cargo net and Ford locking fuel plug. The last thing I added was the Ford aluminum finned diff cover.

I plan on adding a hood strut kit and maybe the Performance Automatic deep aluminum tranny pan. I'm thinking of adding the Boss oil cooler also. That is probably it for mods for me.

I like that Grabber Blue. Local dealer had a v6 model car in that color. I wanted the GHIG color but there were none around here so I settled for Sterling Gray metallic which I also like.
