Default My First Mustang - 2013 GT Premium

I have always loved Mustangs, never had the opportunity to own one until now. I purchased a 2013 GT Premium, Sterling Gray with almost 3000 miles on it this past August, just had enough time before the snow flew to fall in love with it, now the weather is getting nicer here in Iowa, I am back to getting to drive around on some weekends with it.

It already had some mods done to it, looking for a few more ideas. Plan on installing the Modern Billet Black Retro Grille keeping the fog lights tucked behind it, and master brake and battery covers under the hood with MMD bolt on hood strut kit.

Since the pictures were taken I have put on the 5 inch MMD short antenna as well.

Beautiful looking Mustang.

How'd you find one with such low mileage?

Dumb luck, was looking at a 2014 GT CS, finally decided to pull the trigger and it was sold, found this one a couple hours away, liked the look of it, then I saw the mileage, so I called to be sure that was right, and it was. Guy that had it had all the work done to it, then decided that he didn't have enough time to restore his 67 Camaro he had, so his wife said one or the other, he chose the Camaro. So I got his Mustang. Needless to say, after about 3 months of driving weather here in Iowa, I have more than doubled the miles on it.

Thank you for the comments, I appreciate them.

Anyone know how to tell which Borla exhaust I have, is their markings on them somewhere? They were installed when I bought it and they were not sure which one was on it.

Also, I have been thinking about some 10" flat black racing stripes on it, but have read about issues with the vinyl having issues like wax getting under the edges and causing the edges to eventually peel up etc. Any thoughts?

Congratulations on the new car. I'm also a first mustang owner with a 2014 Gt. I also want a shorter antennae,the long one makes it look silly I think.

Cheap and easy mod to do from American Muscle. Screw the old one off, and screw the new one on. Some guys take the antenna and cut it off and put a cap on the end, I think they are vacuum hose caps that I read someone used that work great for about $1.50 or so. I didn't want to cut the original antenna, so I opted for the 5 incher from American Muscle.
