Megan the Mustang
This seems like as good a place as any to journal my Mustang experience.
Dec 3, 2014: I go to Bickford Motors, in Snohomish, Washington to order a 2015 Mustang GT. Instead, I drive home in a 2015 Triple Yellow Mustang GT PP with the 50th Anny Appearance Package. Sigh.... I had forgotten how much I love a Yellow Ford since my days owning a 1972 Ranchero 351C.
Too late now, it's done. It had 89 miles on it when I picked it up. At 300 miles, I ordered the FRPP Touring Exhaust by Borla. I also got a 35% tint, clear bra and Craig's Custom front license plate mount.
At 600 miles, I ordered the Forgestar 19x10 CF5's and Michelin Pilot AS/3's. They're good for cold weather and anything but compact snow. 285x40x19 on all four corners. Several road trips thru the mountains later, I am happy with my choice. Good wet and dry performance and also good for rapid wet/dry transitions during "spirited driving".
After a few months of waiting for Ford to deliver on their highly anticipated performance parts they listed during SEMA for Dec 31, 2014, I get tired of waiting and wandered onto the Steeda website, where things started getting done.
While I'm still waiting to decide on lowering springs and sway bars, I order the K brace, Subframe Alignment Kit, Subframe Bushing Support System and Subframe Support Braces.
