Same here, I hate it but what're you gonna do?

I also can see that insulation stuff under the dash, visible thru the little VIN # window in the front windshield. Very irritating.

I believe these are all reasons 420 horsepower can be bought for 30 Grand.

Other than the engine most of this car falls short of my 2005 GTO. Most days it doesn't bother me but others i feel i went backwards.

I think you guys need to spend more time driving your cars than picking out the imperfections, haha!

No kidding.....

I had my car lifted on one side, under artificial lights, and when I stood on one leg with the other behind my head, with my good eye closed.....I noticed the paint reflected the light from the mechanics light differently from the front fender to the roof.....is there an issue???

To much fun driving.....cannot spend much time finding little things.

Agreed!

Hell with it, put down a nice floor mat and no one will notice, not even you. LOL

Exactly, we have fast pieces of s**t. I've always said it. I love my pos though. Wind noise, rattles, insulation showing etc, it's all part of going fast cheap aka the Almighty Mustang! These aren't 500 series Mercedes or a top of the line Lexus. If you expect that, then you'll be disappointed . Just look at those guys in your rearview and be happy.

Funny thing is, I only have 305 horsepower none of these things bother me that much. No even the cheap plastic interior pieces which are obviously more noticeable.

I'm very sorry that this thread sparked some negativity. It's not a big deal to me, I just wanted to check with other people. For the record, I LOVE MY CAR. And it's not even about the power/speed for me. Unlike most people, I chose the Mustang simply because it's sexy as hell. Cheers!
