Waiting

Like the title says, Waiting. It's been almost one month since I ordered my 2018. (August 21st.) Since then I have been collecting various parts to install on my new ride. These include: Steeda Tri-Ax Shifter
BMR Jacking Rails
Barton White Shift Ball
Red Line Hood Struts (From 2015 GT)
JLT Catch Can "
Air Raid CAI "
Weather tech Floor Liners "

Hope you're not waiting as long as I did, 3-4 months. But as they say, good things come to those who wait.

Sarge, you are correct. No matter what comes the WAIT is always painful.

I waited 47 days for my 2011 to be delivered.
Waited 112 days for my 2014 to be delivered.
Waited 79 days for my 2017 F150 to show up.......The wait is always worth it to get just what you want !!!

I ordered mine October 26 so it looks like I'm waiting 2 months for a Vin#. I'm in PA and i don't drive my Mustang in the Winter so if I get it in March that will be OK. Let me know how the Steeda Tri-Ax works for you. I put a MGW in my 2014. It looks like the new ones are going to be tougher to install using jack stands without dropping the exhaust and driveshaft. Either way its going to be $400 to 500. If I have to drop the driveshaft, I might just pick up a one piece driveshaft and swap that out too but I'm getting too old for this under the car stuff anymore. It looks like we have the same shopping lists because I'm going to do hood struts too. I pulled the JLT catch can off my 2014 so maybe it will fit on the new one.

I got the Steeda Triax and I like it a lot. The short throws are more comfortable for me, don't make me feel like I'm stretching to reach 5th or twisting my wrist for 6th. It was a little rougher than the OE shifter at first, but now that it's broken in it feels smooth.

I took the Strut Tower brace, JLT Catch can, and Hood Struts off My 2015 Ruby Red GT also. These parts will fit on the new 2018. I'll let you know about the shifter Steeda was not sure at the time I called as they did not have their 2018 yet to check fitment.
