Default Finally picked up my 2010 last night

It took about 6 weeks from order to delivery, and it was a very long 6 weeks!!

2010 Mustang GT Premium
Kona Blue
Track Pack 2
HID + Security package


I had the dealer install a GT-500 style spoiler, track pack 2 forces spoiler delete. I plan on tinting the windows, adding quarter window louvers, and new wheels once I can locate a set that I like.

I'm considering a new exhaust system, but I don't want drone, or the popping noise when letting off the throttle that a lot of aftermarket exhausts seem to produce.

I'm loving this thing! Very impressed with the quality and power.

One question though... Are these things supposed to come with a spare tire? Mine has a pump under the mat in the trunk, but no spare, or jack. (I haven't read the manual yet, the jack may be hidden somewhere else I have yet to look.)


Here's some pics from my phone, sorry about poor quality.

Nice ride......I really like the Kona Blue. Really Sharp ride all around!

I know some people don't like the rear end on the 2010's and I'll admit I'm one of them but I did get a chance to look one over close last weekend at the Ford dealership when I was there for an inspection and I must say I really like some of the changes to the interior and exterior.

I'm sure you will really enjoy your new ride, congrats!

I love the Kona Blue color too. It really is a sharp looking ride and the GT500 spoiler sets of the back end rather nicely. Congrats on the new ride.

welcome to the beauty of the Track Pack. It has a spare tire delete. the air pump thingy has a gel sealant.

when you get a flat, insert that gel into the tire. then use the air pump to refill the tire.


I hate it. What happens if you get a sidewall rupture? Or any sort of large puncture that the Gel cannot seal?



btw, if you have a flat, the Gel ruins your TPMS sensor. so there is another $50+ expense ontop of the cost of the tire as well.


here is a link how some Bullitt Owners have added a spare tire back into the car. Hopefully your trunk is relatively close to a 05-09 model
You move the Air pump to the left corner of the trunk where it tucks in nicely. I plan on doing this myself if I can ever come across a cheap enough wheel/tire combo locally

Nice car. I like the wheels but if you up-grade there's your spare.
