GUARD S550 MUSTANG Thread

[Utedog7]

Great work Tampa,
A few Questions:
What does the S stand for on the Auto shift knob?
Is that a pre production vehicle because the stitching seams on the base of the back seats was split in both the left and right side?
In real light does that "saddle" interior look red or dark tan?
I see the USB input, but is the whole system bluetooth compatible with phone and iPods etc?
I haven't seen that stuff mentioned anywhere, and your photos contain a lot of details not yet shown.
great job again!!

Thanks, I'll answer the best that I can Utedog,

The S on the Autimatic Shifter I believe is the setting you would engage when using the Select Shift Paddle Shifters. .

Yes this was an Early Build Pre Production Car built in May and didnt have the Soft Touch Door Trim, or Console. As for the Back Seat being "Split" what you are seeing is not a Split but Openings through the Lower Cushion for the LATCH System for mounting a Child Seat. There are Two on Each Side. Those Little Black Buttons should have Indicators to that effect on Final Production Models.

The Sadle Interior Does Not look Red, it actually comes across as Very Brown.

As for the Bluetooth, I am not sure.

"S" is a sport setting for the transmission. You will find a similar feature on Escape, Fusion, Taurus, Flex, pretty much all current Ford automatic transmissions.

On Mustang, the "S" setting allows you to use the paddle shifters, but it is also a more aggressive shift schedule with faster shifts, and auto rev-matching. When braking for a turn, the transmission/engine will automatically rev-match downshift so that the ideal gear is selected for entering/exiting a corner.

Yes, the system is bluetooth compatible, and this feature is standard on all Mustangs.

The closest is the top photo. The rest are not even close. Not nearly as dark IRL.

Agreed, I picked that one as most acccurate. When the sun is not on the paint though it gets darker. In that picture the sun is directly on all the panels. In sunlight i call it a sage green. Coming from a black car, this is far more appealing - now i can have a new metallic color that probably hides swirls better, and when driving at night it may even look like a black car too which is also great.

If you want to see what it looks like search autotrader near you for all 2015 fords and put guard in the keywords box. The fusions are already popping up with it

Wow lame. Mustangs need exclusive colors, especially considering it already looks like a fusion to begin with.
Which colors are exclusive to the mustang, if any at all?

strange thing to be upset by.

 

[eleanor5oh]

There will be thousands of fusions seen all the time in this color, if it were unique it wouldnt wear out so quickly.. I will admit, looking at the new fusions in guard on autotrader I think it makes that car look boring and bland. I still like it on the mustang but maybe it is my own bias telling me how great it looks.

Do you know if this comes standard across the board?

More Pic's as Promised

We were there at the same time. thats me holding my grandson in the first pic along with my step-son in your photos.

I think my wife took a shot with you in it

Yeah I did. I mentioned it earlier today, that even though it's been confirmed that the Upper Doors are supposed to be Soft the Door Panels and Console were Hard Plastic, but didn't feel cheap at all. Overall the Whole Car Feels Much More Upscale.

if the door sticker is correct its a 5/15 build which would make sense that it didnt get the soft touch panels.

beyond the post i believe others have sat in newer cars and confirmed they were soft touch

SilverSpoon09, as I'm not a fan of the black wheel choice factory shown for the Eco .....I must admit...I could live comfortably with the black wheels shown on the Green Stang above.....They got attitude!

Yes. It is Standard. You just push it and it clicks and opens, then pull it out from the dash. It's not as easy to use as a Roof Mounted Sunglass Holder but I'm glad Ford at least added a place to keep my Sun Glasses.

Cool. It seems that a few of us were there and didn't even know it.

I told my wife it's a great place to put sunglasses or a phone. Then forget about it and spend hours looking for them :lol:I can see that happening in my house!
