Sounds like you would like both, but can only choose one. Something's are best to have done at the factory.

Let's say you get the black accent package, and a year down the road you can afford a better sound system. That involves a lot of wiring/components and possibly some cutting and splicing (that if Ford found, could possibly void out any electrical warranty claims you make, IF you had one and IF they can prove it caused the reported issue). Getting the factory shaker will give you the right wiring and the right interior panels from the start.

Let's flip the scenario. You get the shaker setup from the factory and year later you can afford getting parts for the black accent package. There's after market options and OEM trades/take-offs to get you the mentionedces you want. Those pieces bolt, snap or stick on and aren't hard to apply. They also don't have the potential to void any type of warranty.

Personally, I believe the difficulty of adding a sound system as being exponentially more difficult than acquiring black accent package pieces and adding them as I want to. It's best it you can get both though.

(BTW...cause there's plenty of people out there who I know have the itch to comment....I know the likelihood of an electrical issue while in warranty is small but it's worth mentioning. I'm also not saying that the shaker system is amazing, and there's certainly better audio that can be produced)

I’d get Shaker, much easier to spend mod money to get the badging and wrapped Roof.

While not an audiofile by any means, I can tell you the shaker was pretty impressive on the 2018 I test drove.

Compared to my RS (even with RS2 package) it blows it away.

I usually have the volume level around 20-25 on the RS and the Mustang with the shaker was already much better at level 10. The bass was so much better too.

If it were me, I would go for the Shaker. I am going to be inside the car, listening to music, much more than I will be standing in a driveway or parking lot just standing there looking at it.

It's like: I would rather have Springsteen play my next ten birthday parties than I would have my bedroom professionally decorated with Bruce Springsteen memorabilia. The sound would mean more to me than the look.

If you don't do the black accent package you can always wrap your roof black and buy the rims later on.

Which I might buy the nickel ones later on. We'll see how I like the black PP rims.

But I personally like a good sound system for road trips etc.

I heard the Shaker Pro goes all the way to 11.

But my 2c (not that it matters) would be neither. I just don't care enough about the sound system in a noisy car, and I like black badges but not a black roof. To me the black roof looks like you want to have a carbon fiber roof, but instead just painted it black. Bottom line is those are entirely personal choices, like a sunroof (if one was available). I would pay to have the sunroof removed from the cars I have with them, unfortunately it's a mandatory option on a lot of vehicles above base trim.

While I am sure you say this to be an ass, I'll respond.

Since both (RS and Mustang) use the Sync3 system, I would expect it goes to 30 on both cars...thus the numerical reference.

The RS really has a woefully inadequate system.

It was a movie reference, calm down.

Check Larry Hill Ford in Cleveland TN. They had an orange fury GT with PP on the lot the other day when I was there. I didnt look at the window sticker for options.

Nice reference to Spinal Tap! The Google Home assistant's volume also goes to 11 as an homage.

Sorry that some people did not get your reference, and that they don't apologize for their aggressive responses that not only reflect their ignorance, but their propensity for online bullying.

What many others here have said. Go with the Shaker Pro. Clear deep tones that will make your mirrors vibrate and tweeters that carry good high notes. Save your money on the black accent package and simply buy black badges and wrap the roof. Especially since you will be replacing the wheels soon!

Enjoy the new stang!

Ok, we all can calm down now. :cheers:

Sorry I did not know the reference....my bad.

Happy New Year!
