It's the same as the one on the regular GT. Good choice on the new ride. Make it home safe. After I leave and come back I'm hoping to make some "improvements" on my GT/TP. Semper Fi from an old Army Infantry NCO.

I got it for 31, 500, Is that a decent deal? I had to do alot of talking

Its the GT premium CS, with the comfort package, and everything that is included in the premium package. My first thing I want to do is Tint, exhaust (if necessary), external hard drive on the Sync (saw this in the forums) CAI (if necessary)

-Sorry about spelling, Im a killer not a scholar

The stock exhaust is weak on these cars. The best set up I have heard on the 5.0L is the 11-12 GT500 Shelby mufflers and if you want to kick it up a notch do the cat deletes and if you really want it louder remove the resonators too. I DD my 13GT/CS so I left the resonators on and its just right.

Congrats on the car and come home safe!

I listened to that video for the borla, and i instantly fell in love, but for a service memeber who get paid like crap, is there a cheaper place to purchase it? I understand you get what you pay for but, dang, 800bux??

An axel-back should not have an effect. It plays no altering roles besides sound afaik.

Everybody,

I need as much advice as i can possibly gather here so i can come up with a proper conclusion. Would my GT/CS look good with racing stripes, 1, 2, which color? Also I plan on doing this (as long as yall think its a good idea) with Plasti Dip, now before yall yell at me, Ive done quite a bit of looking arround and im seeing quite a bit of good things about this product, what is yall's honest oponion? I cant find to many GT/CS black with racing stripes, so either its a terrible idea, or Im the first one to come up with it, and apply it looking forward to your replies!

-Adam

Just did some work with plasti dip on some wheels and found that you can not make fine lines with it, such as stripes, without it lifting when you pull the masking tape. It needs a natural break or seam to accomplish this, and thats why people do entire parts and not just bits and pieces.


Are you saying you want to add more stripes to your CS? On a black car it may be different than a white but theres already enough going on with stripes on mine and it would look cluttered to add more. If you removed the factory striping and were looking to add another set of different stripes then it would look good. Super snake stripes? Grabber blue and matte black look good on gloss black.

Check out bigwormgraphix.com for some stripe kits, they are local and have sone some amazing work here in DFW. Stripe kits peel right off if you don't like them...

You watched the videos on youtube, where you have to do it as the Dip is still wet, or did you let it dry and then pull the tape?
Honestlly I just like the way the racing stripes look on the mustang and attempting to do them when the hood stripes are already on the car. Not a good idea?

Ill check it out when i get off work, deployment computers block almost every webpage, except this forum....-merica...

Also, Dad told me he test drove the car yesterday, and left blackies for 2 car legnths , aahhhhhh cant wait to pick this car up, Im going to be starting a log on fuel economy and what not because i will be driving this vehicle from SD all the way down to SoCal where I am stationed, about 1600 miles. Ill let you know how the 2014 does!

I prefer the clean look of a Black or White GT/CS. I personally do not like stripes but each to his own.

That being said, stay away from Plastidip! I don't have a Mustang currently, instead I have a 2011 BMW 328 which I am trading in soon for a fully loaded 2013 GT C/S. I had plastidipped part of my Bimmer and it did not turn out that great. It got extremely dirty and started coming off less than a month. However, my friend with a WRX STi dipped his white STi in black and it came out great and it stuck on for almost a year, so YMMV....
