Since I bought it new, I've added a ford racing x-pipe/resonator delete, ford racing sport mufflers, ford racing short throw shifter, blue puddle light overlays, CDC convertible light bar, stainless power long tube headers, ford racing stage 2 power pack. And I've had it dyno tuned at Big 3 Racing in Hinkley Ohio, it put down 425 rwhp in 93 degree heat on a stingy mustang dyno

Haven't seen many or maybe really any at all before yours. Very nice! Which light bar is that? How do you like it? Does it interfere at all with getting anyone in the rear seats?
And how did you get your mustang projection so blue? I tried a film thing that sucked and a couple other things that never looked as good as yours seems to.

I bought the overlays from american muscle, they were 30 bucks for 2 little stickers. The light bar is from classic design concepts. Getting in the back seat is not a concern of mine, my kids are grown and gone and the stang is my summer toy. It's in hibernation right now until late April, early May.

I did a little research after I bought it, turns out in 15 the PP only came on the coupe and only with the manual trans. In 16 ford allowed it on the verts, again only with the manual, but on the coupes you could now get it with an auto. Finally in 18 you could get a pp vert with an auto trans. Also the grabber blue is a one year only color on the S-550's

Very nice. I was aware that Grabber Blue was only for the 2017 year, but hadn't looked at stats for PP convertibles. I was only looking for an auto, so maybe that's why I didn't see any PP auto convertibles in grabber blue with white interior and 401A package.... yeah I was looking for a unicorn.

I want that light bar but I mostly daily this car and take my son to day care in it, so he's in and out almost every day. That concerns me. But when I'm by myself or with the wife with the top down, or for shows, the light bar looks great. Hmmm.

Yes, I have a gray metallic 2018 GT Premium Convert. with PP1, A10, 401A, Digital dash, Magneride, Shaker Pro, Variable exhaust, etc. I love everything about the car except how the A10 downshifts as it comes to a complete stop for a traffic light, stop sign, etc. The downshift to 1st is frequently very rough. No issues with how it upshifts. Have taken it in twice for the transmission downshifting and apparently there is no fix (such as a software update). I also recently changed the OEM PP1 MIchelin tires for very similar MIchelin all-season performance tires that are not "dangerous" at temperatures below 45 F. My Pony has about 9,000 miles.

2019 with A10. 600 miles before it got put away for the winter. Love it!

Yep :)

2016, Shadow black with Redline (red) interior, Perf Pack, most options (ACC, RPA, Nav). Since it's a '16, it's a manual, which was hard to track down in 2015 (most convertibles were autos), and I actually bought it several states away, had it shipped to my door :D

For MY16 the PP option was $2495 (without factoring in discounts), which - if you were OK with a manual - was a __steal__.

Currently looks like this:

Mine only has the PP and the 401A upgrade and that's it. And in 17 ford upped the price of the PP to $2995, still a steal considering the cheapest aftermarket big brakes are 4K alone and that's for a wilwood 15" kit.

Are those wheels the SVE GT7's from LMR? I want the same wheels just in the graphite color.

Where's that yellow vertical spoiler? Or some call it a surf board?

When I get ready to replace my springs with PP ones, I may contact you offline to get your
VIN so i can replicate your suspension.

thanks

Don't bother, the suspension is totally stock, so are the wheels and tires. And I have no plans to do anything to the suspension either.
