I think ford eavesdrops on forums for ideas

I'm sure many people have thought about this. And since it seems to be the case maybe we should " tell " ford what we would like on the 2011. lol

think about this..

2010 came with sequential tail lights. ( they had 5 years to know we like them lol )
rear black out panel ( duh ) ) optional )
1/4 louvers ? that look EXACTLY like the ones sold by rpidesigns or wheelskin lol ( option )
FULL radiator cover with extensions ? ( so we don't buy extensions anymore hah )
strut tower brace ..
lit door sil plates ( not sure if stock or optional but I have seen it on a grabber blue GT at a dealership )
Pedal covers
Mirror covers. duh another one they saw us modding.
gt500ish looking rear spoiler
weird looking chin spoiler
something about that new antena. lol
I'm sure there are many more..

anyone else find that weird ?
With that said hey FORD make a BLOWER optional !!! lol

so what would anyone else want to see carried over to the 2011 as standard from what we the general populus have modified on the S197's

But is that a good thing? We can mod it ourselves or pay Ford 3 times as much for the same or inferior parts. Oh, yeah, I forgot. They'll slap an FRPP label on it and make it 5 times more.

HEY FORD! If you're listening, how about a new set of heads for all us schmucks that got the POS ones with the 2 piece plugs in them.At VERY LEAST, offer to have a dealer, at YOUR expense, install a set of 1 piece plugs in the old style heads.

If Ford doesn't watch forums like this, it would be really f-d up.

Personally I think that they DONT give a sheit.
It is represented in the move from the SN95 to
the S197. Open thou eyes and see.

Case in point, the 'water leak'....

157db, I think it's the small details they are doing to catch the eye of the enthusiast.
I'm sure they have people that xdo nothing else but watch what the owners want. they probably browse all the major aftermarket sites to see what's offered and then forums.

go look up " ford demands name changes on sites " yeah they do watch !!

yeah, water leak is messed up, but at least I don't have issues with that and I had the car in florida rain for 3 years before I moved.
