Did they forget to remove yours as well? or did they give this one to you?
Nope, they took them off, i asked them to keep everything that came off the car and give it to me, stickers, plastic bags for seats, etc.

Did they at least try to take the stickers off in one piece? I asked the same on another new car purchase and they handed me back strips and shreds.

My dealer removed both sets and had them in a ziplock bag for me to take home.
likewise. I'm keeping them with me in the car in case they come in handy if the car needs to be pulled onto a flatbed.

this issue was reported early on. I'm surprised that after waiting almost a year for the car, thousands of posts on the forum, etc...that you would have known to ask.
When you first posted the issue I was thinking you must have gotten one of your emoji's stuck in there since you use so many of them. lol

just bustin' your chops a little bit...no harm intended.

glad you're able to start enjoying the car...I drove mine to work today and am just amazed every time I drive it.

Guess I am fortunate, my dealer had one guy trained before any arrived.
ALso I knew about them and made sure they were removed :)
I am sure your experience will be much better now LOL.

Now go try it and gives your feed back.

Stickers came off ok, for the outside ones it'll depend on how long your car was sitting at FR.

I got the "transports spring spacer" and the "white back things" off....RIDE? much better..is it a M5, or Regular Mustang GT? NO....As I have posted before...This car NEVER lets you forget you are driving a race car. People that have not got their cars yet have no idea what I'm talking about. (its kinda like telling single adults that do NOT have kids, about how you feel about kids, love them worry about them, etc... and the person you are talking to nods their head like they understand, but really they have no clue) Its the same way about this car....I know... I was just like..(before I got it) its just a Mustang GT with a great engine....No not even close...if you go drive a Mustang GT and then drive this back to back..you would be like its not even the same car..I will stop here..I have said enough for one night:headbonk:..I have now 200 miles on it..and I will say the more I drive it the more I like the ride:crazy::shrug:

emoji jokes aside...this is an amazing street car. amazing. it's not a race car. people who believe such things have probably never been in a race car. but that may be for the best...turn on the A/C, set the Nav, crank up the tunes, and 'feel' like you're in a RCWALP.

I wonder how many people are praising the handling of their GT350 while it's actually performing poorly with the spacers in.

thank you all for the postings. my dealership where I purchase the GT350R left the rear shock spacers. my local Ford dealership was kind enough to remove them with no cost.

My dealer failed to remove mine, I just thought the car was stiff.

Upon taking it to my inde mechanic for pre track alignment, we found the PDI folks never removed the rear shipping spacers on my GT350R, caused my rear tires to wear in a reverse fashion prematurely at the outer edges for just under 1000 miles.

They agreed to treat me to a set of new rear tires, but still, clearly the dealers overall are untrained in this product is what is evident from this thread-if they cant even PDI the thing.
