This will be my official thread for updates on my vehicle. I bought it on 4/21 brand new for a huge discount since the '10s were starting to roll into the showroom. It only had 56 miles on it before I test drove it, and smelled great. Gotta love the new car smell! I've never driven a GT before, and I absolutely fell in love with it. Had no intentions of buying when we walked in to the dealership, but drove away with my new vehicle the same day...
My plans for the vehicle are to get the basic speed mods done first. I want to do the CAI/Chip, Full exhaust from LT headers all the way back, underdrive pulleys, 4.10 gears, etc. From there, the exterior will be my main focus, would love to get a GTS-3 hood, and as much as I'd love to go Shelby on the front end, I think that may be out of the question due to total cost... Early on body mods will be stubby antenna, painted mirrors, projectors, headlight splitters, smoked lenses, etc.
Enough with my rambling though, on to the pics!
These first ones were taken the day after purchasing her...
These pics were taken today... My window tint was installed yesterday, it's 20% all around with a lifetime warranty. Got it done for $180.
Please give me your feedback, good or bad, as well as suggestions and comments. Thanks for taking the time to look!

I think he mentioned in his other thread that it's a special option on the 09's/45th anniversary editions only. I think it looks pretty good!
And the tint looks sweet! I need to get some money and get my car up there to C&L and get it done. How long did it take them to do it?

Thanks everyone for the comments! From what I was told at the dealership, the chamois leather interior was a one year option on the 45th Anniversary Editions. I loved it from the start, it took the wife a little time to get into it...
The window tint was done quicker than I thought. I dropped it off at 8:45, and it was done around 11:30. Definitely get the lifetime warranty on it, it's only $20 more, and he'll replace it for cracks, bubbling, fading, peeling, etc. Let me know when you plan on setting up an appointment.

It wasn't. It was also available in 07. There is a 07 red gt vert on another forum that has the interior. They said it was one year only option back then.
