csm198 Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 If you ordered your car from Ford what if anything would you change in the order? Examples would be paint color, interior, Radio etc... Personally I wish I had ordered the parchment interior. When I ordered the car I was only thinking how hard the light interior would be to keep clean. I now regret not getting the parchment after I saw a car like mine with that interior. Not to mention how rare it turned out to be. Even if you didn't order your car , what would you change if you could? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clark17357 Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 The white cars should have had Guardian Blue stripes, the blue cars should have had white stripes and the black cars . . . well, I don't have any history to draw on for their stripe colors (see as how the Hertz cars have gold locked up).

Carnut12 Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Only option mine was missing was the Auto Dimming Rear Mirror, I will add it at some point. I do not really drive at night so I do not notice. Other than that I love the White with Silver stripes and Charcoal interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

springer Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Painted stripes for sure. Also, mine had the Ford, dealer installed, day/nite homelink mirror added which is a big plus for these cars. Can't believe that mirror wasn't a stock item. And, I agree with the stripe colors too- white on the blue cars, and blue stripes on the white cars. Also, a Shelby set of wheels, instead of the stock wheels, would have been a big plus in setting these cars apart from the other Mustang GT's.

I agree whole heartedly with these statements! Maybe add Shelby headrests, and I would get rid of the Sirius radio! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karashemshek Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Auto dimming mirror with compass and temperature -- added Shelby Hood Pins -- added Hood struts -- added Painted on stripes or QUALITY stripes -- will eventually have painted on or restriped Functional Hood Scoop The first three are nice touches. Should have been part of the planning while still on the drawing board The stripe problem - just poor quality control Hood scoop - looks nice but really think it should be functional and not just added to the hood.

cobrakalas427 Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Since I didn't order my car from the dealer, I wish it would've been optioned with: 1.) Front brake duct/driving lights setup; 2.) Aluminum lower grille and 3.) Paxton supercharger. I also wish they would've had the following items as standard/optional equipment: 1.) Functional Hood Scoop; 2.) Functional Side Scoops; 3.) Painted Stripes (owner color choice depending on body color); 4.) Larger Front/Rear Brakes; 5.) Larger Front/Rear Wheels; 6.) Large Front/Rear Tires; 7.) Upgraded cooling system and 8.) Upgraded Rear end gearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydub Mach1 Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 +1 to the functional hood scoop. I didn't order mine either (i bought it off the showroom floor). I really wanted NAV, home link mirror and heated seats, so I had the dealer add the last 2. They installed a hi/lo heated seats, which I preferred over the on/off factory ones, since my car is a DD. I also installed a Pinoeer NAV which also displays my iPod settings and controls. Again, I preferr that over the factory one. I do wish they came with a ducktail type spoiler, brake duct/fogs and C pillar faux brake cooling scoops. AND BLUE STRIPES!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyPilot Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 I would have ordered the heated seats. Not so much for me but it would have made the passenger seat power and height adjustable. My wife and most passengers dislike the seat height on the passenger side. especially with the CS hood. I tried to order the comfort package but it wasn't available. However, I missed that you could order the heated/power seats. It is a $600 part that I will add eventually. I hope.

I have heated seats and the pass. side isn't power, just heated. I would have wanted a 550 Whipple on a dream order plus exclusive wheels and interior items.

ilmor Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Isn't this really just another mods thread? I guess I'm not really sure of its intent.... If you're asking what available options would I have purchased when I bought the car, the answer is none, I really got what I wanted and could afford at the time. The Shelby GT is really an awesome car as is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmn444 Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 I think a forged bottom end is the ONLY thing that would have been worth paying for from the factory.... pretty much everything else I consider personal changes that I enjoy making.

speedyburd33 Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 A lot of good ideas here! Painted Stripes Functional Scoops Larger Wheels/Tires NA Engine with 400HP Racing seats or more unique stitching/embroidery on the seats I also wish that the grille housing on the 07's was the same as the 08's is stock...instead of having to replace the stock GT grille with hacked out fog lights.

Hertz hood, Ford OEM GT-500 rear spoiler, painted stripes, Ford Racing chrome valve covers, Shelby dash gauges, 1969 Shelby grill emblem, Shelby faux gas cap, CS red wheel centers on the stock chrome wheels. The Hertz hood changes the entire profile of the car giving it a more smooth look compared to stock. (opinion only) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedyburd33 Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 you hit the nail right on the head there I'm surprised nobody else mentioned that. I really like the power my car has but in terms of HP, a stock SGT is barely a step up from the GT. I think it should have been the midway point between the GT and the GT500. Just makes sense to me. Now with the new 5.0, a stock SGT is at almost a 100 HP disadvantage to a stock Mustang GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1965coupe Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 AUTOMATIC headlights!!! Why Ford? Such a simple option to add at the time. Automatic climate control (just set the temp and it does the rest); yes, I know that it's an option on new Mustangs. A holster for the gas cap (I made my own) Sequentials - std equip. A dome light - not the one near the rear view mirror, but in the headliner. A trunk release button. Ok.. I'm being picky now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
