Been a great season! Time to shelve the trophies and park her inside.

Love the 'vert but relationship was getting stale, same ol' same ol'... decided to do a few mods to rekindle the romance.

Mod 1 is complete, gorgeous Mustang GT PP wheels from a 2020 GT from local Mustang6g member.

These were an option way back in 2015 but for some reason didn't go for 'em back then.

Next on list is probably a Borla S type axle backs to replace my Ford Touring axle backs.

Then toying with debadging or going with the black badging

6 1/2 years has flown by, I still love this thing just as much as the day I got her.

For some reason convertibles aren't very popular in Australia - no idea why.

I see you have a convertible neighbor in the pic, though not a Mustang. I'm not sure what the climate is in your region of Australia, but in the US, the higher percentages of convertibles are in the milder winter areas. That includes coastal states where the nearby oceans moderate the winters a bit more. The top 5 market shares by US state are: 3.6% in Florida, 2.8% in Arizona, 2.7% in California, 2.3% in Nevada, and in Georgia, 2.2%. With Australia being so large, I'm guessing you have a wide range of temperate and not-so-temperate regions, and convertible percentages probably are affected accordingly.

The 1 series is owned by a friend of mine, it was a great afternoon so we went out for a run.

Where I live has a similar climate to southern Florida, but just a bit hotter during winter. Never see snow at all. Convertibles are a little more popular the further south you travel in Australia, but nothing like the States or Europe.

Breeze's refresh is almost done. All the cosmetics are finished. Last month or so:

1. black GT factory rims, used
2. black Gorilla lug nuts
3. black 5.0 emblems
4. black pony grill emblem
5. Ford Performance deck lid

Note I already the black exhaust tips. So the car is dechromed.

Looks great!

Next on list will be swapping out the Borla touring exhaust axle backs with Borla S type axle backs

It's looking nice. Let me know what kind of luck you have with the black Gorilla lugs. I had some and they looked terrible after taking the wheel off one time.

Convertible weather is getting closer. I'm putting my summer tires/wheels on within the next 10 days.
Hmmm...Convertible weather for me in FL is when the temp is above 68. But I've got that Florida blood. I'm guessing about 50 and sunny in the "snow belt" is about the threshold for convertible tops to go down. (Kind of like motorcycle riding, as the summer riding season is short in snow belts, such enjoyment is valued greater). One must take advantage of the rarer adventure opportunities.

As far as my convertible rides in cooler weather, I could ride in lower temps, but I'm not one to drive around with my top down and windows up.

Hot, humid weather is its limitations as well. Top-down during midday is not for me, Florida blood or not. When hot, humid summer top down rides occur, they'll occur in the late evening or in the morning. But I've witnessed that in the snow belt, the love for riding top-down, or motorcycling is so strong that folks mentally block out associated discomforts and put the top down anyway. I can appreciate that.
