Hello! My name is Justin. This is my first post here. I recently bought #1523. It's a Wimbledon White manual. I got it on March 11.
I searched here for "1523" and found one result, a comment in a thread about mileages. It was made by someone who said he bought it new with six miles from a dealership in VA. It was the only post he ever made, and hasn't logged on in over four years. Nevertheless, I sent him a private message, hoping he has the same email and it gets to him somehow.
When I bought it, it had some mods already on it. Most obvious was an MMD V-series spoiler. It also has a Roush CAI, an MBRP Race-series catback, and an RTR shift knob that's an off-white that goes pretty well with the cream-colored leather. What I didn't know until another Mustang owner pointed it out is that it has a short-throw shifter. I don't know what brand or model.
I've done a few things myself. I replaced the rear quarter markers with clear LED units; I think clear looks good with white paint (even thought it's not exactly white). I replaced the backup bulb with an LED one that also works as a fourth brake light. Finally, I replaced the front turn signals with progressive ones from Opt7...however, I might replace those with another brand. The Opt7 ones light up white unless they're actually indicating a turn. I don't like that; I want them to be amber. I've found two brands that are only amber, never white.
I don't plan on doing any significant changes to the appearance. The appearance is part of what makes this car special, in my opinion. That being said, anything I do will be undoable in case I ever want to return it to a stock look. But for performance, I'm more open to modding. I'll add future plans in a comment below.
Anyway I've been reading here and I've already learned some good stuff about this car, and I look forward to learning more and getting to know all of you!
