It never stops once you start hey
:eyebulge:
I keep telling myself that I will stop buying mods. But no it never stops. Honestly the stock tyres are horrible and insufficient, especially in the wet

There's good news and bad news for me....
Window sticker is out, car is coming in triple yellow as ordered, not blue as it was after the dealer stuffed up so that's good!!
But...it's coming with OTT stripes, nickel wheels and roof not painted black (arrgghh).Car is meant to be triple yellow, black wheels and roof, no stripes.It seems the dealer got the colour sorted but forgot about the other changes(made in Oct 2015).
Anyway, even though all the changes are on email and contract I'll just have to swallow hard and get on with it, hopefully I can get the wheels switched to black by the dealer(they say they will), I'll put a black wrap on the roof,peel off the OTT stripes and put a solid stripe on.
Close to pulling the trigger on a Kenne Bell 3.2l supercharger, along with half shafts, driveshaft, oil pump/lower timing chain gear (760-785 rwhp),the A$ is killing me(I read the trend wrong), think I'll just have to bite the bullet.
Undecided on exhaust and suspension, but will make some changes.

My window sticker says 2016 model year.I can't find the "blend date" mentioned in the sticky etis thread, but at the top of the sticker is 20160531, is this the blend/build date meaning 31/5/16?? All cars pre 2/6 were to be 2015 models...any thoughts on what I'm getting, 2015 or 2016????

Thanks to steerage250(Ian) for calling in a few weeks back to show me his beautiful stang, made my day!!
The last letter in your VIN tells you which year : G = 2016, H = 2017

Jack...how did you determine that you were getting nickel wheels?
The reason I ask, is that on my wifes uncles mustang, his window sticker listed his wheels as nickel lustre....his etis listed them as prm pntd....which are black as he ordered....they turned out to be black when it arrived.
The window sticker information is average at best.

Maybe there's hope...no info has populated in ETIS for me yet(still shows build date 30.11.0002), but the window sticker came up this morning and it shows nickel wheels/no black roof/OTT stripes(which is all wrong).
Thanks for the heads up on this, I'll sit tight and see what ETIS comes up with before I tackle the dealer on "solutions".

My ETIS has the same build date and info from my dealer is that mine is due to be built on the 30th of May, but still no window sticker.

The window sticker generally only appears a few days before build and usually later in the week....it should be close.
