Overhauled by Roush

I bought my 2011 GT automatic with the plan being to eventually adding the Roush TVS, rims /tires and suspension set up giving me the mechanicalls of a Roush stage 3. I have the Premium GT pkg with *accessory 5 pkg. I added 3:73 gears courtesy of TERREBONNE Ford. I spoke with Joe Mitts at Roush and discussed my plan. Joe gave me a written quote including Freight to / from the Roush facility in Livonia, MI. The wheels were put in motion.... *Joe had a car transporter pick up my ride on Saturday March 10th ; it arrived on *the 13th and the overhaul started. Roush was doing a photo shoot for 5.0 Mustang magazine and my ride may be in the background. Joe sent me pictures every step of the way. The Roush suspension and 20" hyper wheels were first to go on. The Roush suspension will lower my ride by 1" and make it handle like a "slot" car. The TVS was next; his pictures showing the tear down and *TVS install. Then I got carried away ;added the Roush seats and grill.
I figured while it was there ... why not...wifey even agreed.
*I will get documentation that the work was done by Roush @ Roush along with keeping the balance of my 3 / 36,000 warranty in tach. Roush had a professional photographer take pictures ; sending me copies and posting them on the Roush Facebook page ( photos of customers cars- Kona blue). My ride is coming home this week; Christmas in March???
Joe Mitts and the Roush crew were very understanding, helpful and professional.
My ride will be coming home next week; with my "take off " parts being shipped back motor freight. I'm selling my take offs to help with the cost of my " overhaul". Joining the Roush Road Crew will get me a 10% rebate on the parts . To join the Road Crew cost $35.00, well worth it,as well as getting a few other perks.
Call Joe Mitts at Roush and he'll take good care of you & your ride.
I'll post pictures as soon as I figure out how.*

Sounds like a real neat deal. Did they do a custom tune on the car?? Any numbers?

How did ur gear install go at Terrebonne ford? I live in Houma. The guy that does it there is lance. He did my buddy's car and charged him $600 for labor and had to do it 3 times to get it right. Just curious.

Congrats, I never dealt with Roush direct. But I have met and talked to Jack Roush at events. He seem to be a down to earth guy with a straight forward business since. And genuinely cares about his customers.
I'm sure everything will be done right.

Edited: different car, wrong pics.

Original message:
Hope you don't mind, went and tracked down those pictures and posted them up here for you and the rest. I'm guess this one is yours. Looks amazing!

edit: (wrong pictures, left them up though because it still looks great)
