it is the cf hood, but color matched now. The vents are unpainted though. The raw CF didn't look as good as i'd hoped after clear coat so i had them paint it DIB. I am glad i did.

So I rented a 2013 Corvette convertible from Hertz last weekend. Made me want to trade in my Bullitt and get a new(er) GT convertible. Too bad I can't afford a newer Mustang. I had never driven a convertible for an extended period of time. It was so much fun, especially here in San Diego where I could use it all year round.

Or is it because it was a convertible and you fell in love with a vert now?

I've considered it Patrick. But I'm waffling on the idea. Sometimes I really like the way it looks, other times I don't. Most of all though I'm not crazy about having to cut holes in the rear interior trim panels.
But thanks for looking out for me!!!!

I hear ya! I'd be scared to do that too. I'm heading out to the car now actually, to install my GT500 steering wheel finally!

p.s. it looks like it has a couple of humps for better grip as well. Hmmm… not a bad upgrade Patrick

I was lucky, I scored my wheel off a member here who had sold his car and never installed it - got it for $150! I couldn't pass that up. It's been waiting for my car a week after I ordered the car lmao!

Just because it was a convertible. I did enjoy the Corvette a lot, but they're insanely overpriced compared to a Mustang. Yeah it handles better and it looks more exotic/European, but it didn't sound very good and the build quality was awful inside. More plastic than the '05-09 Mustangs that cost 1/4 of the price. I was also surprised that it didn't feel that much faster than my Bullitt.
