Default The 5.0 has arrived

Just thought I'd share some pictures of the new 5.0! Finally got it in, after a wonderful 14 weeks of waiting for it xD










Hope you guys all enjoy it as much as I am!

are those dealer-installed stripes?
Why don't they come down over the front bumper?

Nice car! I just don't get that color, it must be me because I see at least one a day.

Hell yeah! Haha I really love the color, the pictures don't even do it justice in my opinion. Only reason I HAD to order was because of that, at least around here there aren't many grabber blue stangs on lots.

I was thinking that, when I get over this empty pocketed feeling I'm currently going through, I plan on really checking out black wheels. I think it should look pretty badass with the black stripe

Actually factory installed, but you might've meant that. As for why they don't come down over the front bumper I'm not sure, that seems to be a deterrent to a lot of buyers that want striping done on their car

Also, wanted to ask advice.

Currently I moved about 2 hours away from the dealer I ordered from and it was a haul going back and forth for the car. They pushed the paint/rust protection stuff that they always seem to want you to do, and I wanted to ask if you guys think it's worth it. I turned it down at the time because I couldn't afford to leave the car with them for a few days, but if it seems worth it I could just have it done after the fact at another dealer or shop.
