I’m creating this thread for the build of my 2015 Guard GT. I think “build” may be too strong a word, as I have no intention of doing anything more than make it how I want it to be. However, if any of this information can prove helpful to someone else then it’s not a wasted effort.
On February 3rd, 2015 I ordered the car. The wait was a beautiful torture, logging into COTUS on the hour to see if it progressed. Tracking its shipment on the train and its ultimate delivery at the dealer. I took delivery on April 28th and already had a small box of add-ons.
Checking it over at dealer delivery
Mine!
First, was a ‘Sto-N-Sho’ front license plate mount. Connecticut is a two plate state, but the factory front plate mount looks horrid to me and I didn’t want to ruin the face of the car. Install was extremely straight forward and quite simple.
Next was a cue ball shifter that I picked up and installed easily with the included Loctite (important later).
Last in my pre-delivery box of goodies was an LED reverse bulb. My last car had a highly tinted rear window from the factory and visibility when reversing was poor until I upgraded the bulbs. I failed to fully realize that the Mustang had a backup camera and extra light would probably not be necessary. While I ended up not needing it for visibility, the incandescent light did look odd with all the LED in the rear, so I’m glad I swapped it out.
