I really don't think you want to do that. The cost of the PP is really low compared to what you get. Not to mention the labor it would cost to upgrade to it. WAY easier to just get new wheels and sell the stock ones.
i'm coming around on the Black wheels that the PP has; believe it or not. I'll take em...even the Blue looks pretty decent with them.

I like the PP, except for the staggered wheels. It's not practical for my needs. Then again, you could say that the PP is not practical for what I want out of the car - though it wouldn't stop me from wanting it nonetheless.

If you don't plan to do any serious corner carving with it, you could probably get away with just swapping the springs and shocks to get a firmer ride.

But I agree with the previous poster; the value of the PP is pretty hard to beat.

Also, have you seen the PP dash in person? Perhaps your impression of it would change if you did...
Yah I've seen them in person. Definitely do not like the pattern at all. And the all black wheels are meh. I wish they would have offered gunmetal that was on all the testers.

I'll agree with this. I'd have much preferred a square setup (275's all around) so that a spare is a reality, as is rotating.

At least they are no longer listed as "high gloss" black.

If someone offered an aftermarket dash that was the brushed aluminum not like the PP one is that would fit in the PP console, I'd get that.

This is the review I have been waiting for. I know how the old car drives, and I didn't buy one because it was a floaty, cumbersome beast, even if it had a world-class engine. Now I am quite confident I'll be happy with my choice. And again, if my non-PP has a little float under my own driving conditions (which I doubt), shock/struts and sway bars will be available and easily installed. Loved this!

Great review and after driving my 2015 GT ( same car in the review RR with 19" ) I totally agree with this review. What he said about the 2010 Shelby GT was spot on. I know cause I traded mine in on the 2015 and don't miss it a bit.

Great review spot on about the 2010 Shelby GT 500

The 2010 I traded for the 2015. GT premium . Look how high the rear sits. I know I could lower it but why not Ford. The car handled like an exotic dancer with so many moves. The 2015 is so much more fun to drive fast on a country road. Getting on the on ramp didn't feel any faster then my 2015. The engine sounds @ wot sound way better than the Shelby.
The Shelby looks like it's going to fall over on it's face. Hard breaking the tail is even higher.

This car sits perfect. 20 years and Ford finally got it.

I agree with you re the 2010-2012 Mustangs. The back end was my least-favorite part of the car but I liked the rest of it so well that it was a net-plus for me. The appearance of the 2013-2014's back end looked even higher. I'm glad Ford has reversed this trend of tall back-ends with the 2015.

The 2015's back end is beautiful in my opinion.

Looks like a Sprint Cup car-of-tomorrow with its elevated rear. The 2015 is so nicely proportioned.
