Default 09' 45th Anniversary Question

I picked up an 09' GT Premium just over a month ago. It has the 45th Anniversary badges and has some nice touches inside as well. Does anyone know if there was a 45th anniversary package aside from the Silver one that I have had pop on several searches? It does have the glass roof as well and I am just wondering if there is anything that would stand out showing it as a special edition. Here are a couple of pics to maybe help some.









Thanks for any info you may have.

I'm not aware of every small detail from the 45th anniversary, but I must say the glass roof goes nicely against that dark red! Beautiful car, congrats on the new purchase!

Thanks, I am very happy with the car. I plan to keep it as stock as I can and just enjoy the head turning when I go by.

There is nothing other than the side emblems to differentiate the 09's. There is no special "45th Anniversary package"

Stock? How... vanilla. At least throw a CAI & custom tune on there. Totally wakes up the car; 20-25 RWHP gain and improved driveability. Even the 87 custom tune runs circles around the stock 87 tune. Besides, the CAI alone gives the engine bay some "attitude".

Yours has had a lot of customization done to it, chrome door handles, chrome rear lights bezel, looks like a GT/CS rear bumper, side scoops, chrome billet grille overlay, custom stripes, rear decklid blackout panel, some interior billet pieces, pedal covers...
That I can see.
Looks like it started out as a GT premium with interior upgrade package.

Looks nice as is, but you'd love what it will do with some performance mods... show up some under-hood shots.

Honestly I think the only difference my 45th anniversary v6 had from a normal v6 was floor mats and a 45th badge on the fenders.

I know there are some upgrades that were done on the car. I may look into a CAI in the future, but for now I just am enjoying the new to me car. I will take a couple of pics of the engine bay later today and post them up. Thanks for the info everyone.
