Finally pull the trigger on a 16 GT CS

I live in MA and we haven't had any snow in my area and it's been in the 45-55 degrees. I decided to buy now since I could get it home without any sand/salt/snow on the road. I take delivery on it Friday and I think wife and son are more excited than I am... Anyway here is a photo from when I was at the dealer. I'll post some more once I get it home...
For those in the market for one, this is what I ended up paying MSRP $42,275 and I was able to get it for $38,200.

So I went to install some rubber spacers between license and rear bumper so it won't scratch paint. I removed the plate and found the dealer drilled our the wrong holes. I didn't notice it on delivery date because they moved the plate up to the correct ones, so the others were hidden. I specifically told them do not drill any holes and for the front I even ordered a show and go plate bracket. They actually double sided tape the front bracket on just so I could get the inspection sticker until the bracket comes in. I ended up agreeing to settle with them for A Ford Mustang Car cover multi layer just over $400 and 3 years of satellite radio. Still a little mad about it, but I felt that was the best option. They would have replaced bumper, but I was thinking they'll never get the fitment correct.

Nice ride! That Sync 3 though... why would anyone want a bright blue beacon in their car? Baffles me. Old UI was excellent, just needed to be sped up and debugged. Ohwell.

So does the CS come with the PP, too, or? Just wondering.

Considering getting a 2016 myself but moving soon so would be kind of stupid financially. Starting my research, which is why I'm here being annoying.

Oh, and regarding the license plate holes... first of all, what brain-dead lab rats do they have working at this dealership? I mean... wow. Luckily it's behind the plate. My Chevy dealer for my '14 Silverado shorted me 2Q of oil on one oil change, a Ford dealer "rebuilt" my old Fiesta's transmission so improperly Ford had to get me a whole new one, and my '14 Mercedes CLA 45 AMG was such a lemon it would stop producing power on the highway and all area MB dealerships basically told me to go fly a kite. Ended up getting a buy back on that POS. Point being, I'd rather have a few holes in my bumper drilled out by some lunatic numskull... haha.

Mine did not come with the PP and based on what I saw from other dealers in my area I didn't see PP available in their inventory either.

The CS is not available with the PP, same as it's always been. It's always been more of a luxury appearance package.

I was just looking at your cars twin! Still thinking as I really like my EB. As for the holes, you can buy custom plugs which match the paint perfectly, from Bumperplugs.com.

I have them in the front where the @#$%% drilled holes to attach the plate bracket.

This is a really nice Mustang, I know you are proud of it. I always liked the CS package.

Thanks for the compliments.. I can't wait until summer so I can drive it, It's killing me just looking at sit in the garage. My show n go plate bracket came in the other day. Sucks needing 2 plates in Massachusetts.

Yes, it does suck.
I have a Craig's Custom Bracket for my front. I only put it on when going for the yearly inspection. After that, it's gone till next year.

This is basically what I do. With a Craig's bracket, I keep it with the plate on in the trunk and if I get pulled over can just say I forgot to put it on after the car show I went to "yesterday". And then grab it and put it on in front of the officer.

I actually used to have one like what you bought for my old Cobalt SS/SC. It was so low that it would occasionally scrape... after a few scrapes and weathering it stopped functioning correctly. I also had the remote controlled one too.
