The Tech Package is on the Base GT and V6, it adds Sync, you want the Nav you need to look for the Electronics Package.
So you won't find a CS with the Tech package, it is a Premium.

The Tech Package is like Sync, Pandora and other smart apps
The Electronics is the Tech Package but with the Navi and Touchscreen right?

Did you buy it through the dealership or online? Care to hit me up with a link? Thanks!
UPDATE:
I found the grilles!
http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...ille&year=2013
Now I need to find the hood and splitter and spoiler.
Check my profile for threads I've started. It's called Grilles for 2013s
I've assembled and listed all the best places to get the stuff at the best price. I started this when the upper and lower grilles along with the fog light conversion cost me $1200. Over the summer all of that was not yet available as accesories, so it was $$$$

I think I need the following:
2013 GT C/S Lower Grille
2013 GT C/S Upper Grille
2013 Mustang Fog Light Kit, California Special
2013 Mustang California Special Rear Spoiler (Performance White)
The hoods are not available, at least not the 2013 hoods... I don't know how to get the rear of the car though, the GT500 bumper (black plastic?) Hmm....
2013 GT C/S Lower Grille
2013 GT C/S Upper Grille
2013 Mustang Fog Light Kit, California Special

I had a 2008 GT/CS...the orange one in my avatar...and when I sold in January, I got a PREMIUM price for it because it was a GT/CS over a regular GT. If you plan on dumping all of this money into a non-CS car, do not expect to get any of it back when you sell the car. But if you buy it from Ford, the secondary market lists the 402 pkg in the options and you will be able to get more for you car when you decide to get the next newest and greatest model. Just something to consider.
Another way to look at it is you are getting all of the add-on's at once, and can be financed as part of the deal. Talk to you insurance guy...how much more is insurance?
I have had no buyers remorse about my purchase...best Mustang I have ever had.

The front splitter and rear diffuser are the same that are on the BOSS. Not cheap....

Everything you need is in this thread

except....
Rear Spoiler - 293.83

All you need then is the front splitter, which you can do better aftermarket.

Yeah, but other than the grilles and diffuser, it kinda sucks anyway.
That's why I got a loaded GT premium, then added the grilles, fogs and diffuser, it came close to the $1300 or whatever that the California Special costs, and I still have (in my eyes) the better interior anyway.
If they made a Grabber Blue GT/CS I would have gotten it. Unfortunately they didn't so I had to make my own GT/CS

Why is this still a question? The OP wants a V6, but the CS look. Hello? Ford offers the MCA package just for these people! As evidenced by the pics already posted. PP + MCA packages, add your scoops and rear pedestal spoiler if you want, then get the Roush front splitter. Done deal, OEM, order from the factory. /thread.

You don't get it. The MCA is a Ford offered package. It will command the same retail premium over a standard V6 as a CS will over a standard GT. But then again you're 17, and shouldn't be in neither a 300+ hp car nor a 400+ hp one. The insurance on the V6 is going to rape you, on the GT you will double your car payment.

If you want the CS graphics, get the CS graphics. Who gives a rat's *** what the idiots (including me) on this (or any) forum think of your car? The key is that it's your car, and you can make it into anything you want. None of us are making the payments for you, so we don't get a vote.
Pretty much anything that can be done 20 a 2013 has probably been done, so if you want to see what a car looks like with your chosen mods, google "2013 mustang xxxx" where "xxxx" is the part you want to see pictures of, and then click Images in the google menu. You don't really need our opinions. You can also google other years as well, because with all the parts are interchangeable. If you want, you can even convert to a 2012 front end (MANY more options currently available for the earlier sheet metal).

It's not what you bought, it's how much you financed and for how long. Danielle financed $40k for 48 months - you financed around $16-17K. I financed $18.5 in March/2012, and my payments are $330 over 75 months (and I'm currently 36 months ahead on payments).

I just configged a V6 Premium. Came out to around $33,380. My local dealer has a California Special listed for $36k. I figure I can probably get it for $34. So unless this V6 premium comes to under $30, I might as well go with a GT C/S.
