Back seats do not match?
I would have got the premier trim if I had ordered my car.
My 2 Cents:
One thing I noticed though, correct me if I am wrong. With the premier trim, the front seats (with the "striped style" perforations) don't match the back seats.
Also, since I am a big fan of...
Beautiful ride, congrats an taking her home. One note I have been meaning to put out here and your post reminded me. The whole transport by rail and storage lot ends up leaving a lot of residue on your paint. I did the "baggy test" when I took delivery late last year of my 2016 and was shocked...
personal taste
I had Recaros in my '13 GT PP and now have the standard premium leather in my '16 GT PP. All the points raised here our valid. I would definitely sit in them both and weigh how you plan to use your car. I will say the 6th Gen standard seats are much improved over the last gen...
Look Very Clean!
Thanks for sharing. I appreciate the post and jumped on a set of these. They are the cleanest and minimalist looking I've seen, and are ironically the least expensive. I have never done wrong with Ford Performance parts. I may paint over the logos, but I will see how they...
1 Week with the Michelins A/S 3 tires
The Michelins are awesome. The only rap against them in the objective reviews was snow performance. Apparently Michelin was listening. At the Detroit show they introduced the upcoming A/S 3+ available "soon". For those of you that plan to drive in snow...
Okay, so first I want to thank the forum and all it's members. I have really learned lot here. So although I cover a few topics, I want to give back with some insights.
Summer only tires (Pirelli PZeros) - I am an engineer, I understood and expected that "summer only tires" were optimized for...
They were done by these guys:

They do a lot of Mustang work (cosmetic and mechanical) and were featured at the national show in Columbus, OH this year. I found the material that I wanted and they have the templates and a laser cutter to do custom work. And most...
Spacer
Dumb question - could you use a spacer with the Ford spare kit that would allow enough clearance to clear the Brembos on the PP? or would that be too hard to do while making an emergency tire change?
parking sensors and stripes
One callout, if you have the rear parking sensors, the 10" stripes interfere if you go full bumper coverage. I have seen the holes cut out, but I think it looks bad. Some have reduced the width on the bottom section too. the GT 350 style don't have that issue.
Ruby with stripes
I did this and posted a while back in the "Show us your stripes" thread. I have since removed the wrap on the decklid.
Carbon fiber look stripes and wrapped deck lid
I wrapped the deck lid with 3M Di-noc graphite carbon fiber and did the stripes to match with silver accents...
Another option to consider....
It is certainly a thrill to order a brand new car, and get it exactly the way you want it. I just wanted to call out a few things. I made the decision to get a 2016 GT PP when I saw the nickel wheels were available. I considered ordering, but was too impatient...
Felt like I was going to puke, Really
1) I do the same thing with parking. I backed into a corner spot with my 2013 GT where I couldn't possibly get a ding. Using my backup camera to get in, I ran the corner of the bumper into a brick column. Gouged my bumper bad, I went for a spot repair that...
