I thought about those louvers but they look like a pain in the behind and hassle to have someone remove the glass. Do you know if the pre-painted ones from American Muscle are any good? Also, If I get louvers, then I have to get wheels. Then if I get wheels, then I have to do suspension. You know how it goes!

Very nice upgrade! I had an 05 V6 for a little while and the jump to the '10 was a big improvement. The '13 are more refined so I can only inagine how big that jump was for you. Congrats! She's beautiful!

Anyone else not seeing a problem here?

Exactly!! My o6 ain't goin anywhere! The 13 has caught my eye specially since Ford decided to go back to painting the side skirts and the whole bumper like the 05-09 GT, not to mention doing something about those taillights! Anyway you have a beautiful car, good luck with her.

After a month of deliberation I pulled the trigger on the 2013 5.0 with comfort package, technology package, leather, Brembo brakes, 3.73 rear axle, and the pony lights. I bought the car Friday night, Saturday morning got her tinted with 15% tint all around. Roush axle back was ordered this morning from American Muscle and I payed for next day delivery, should be here tomorrow. Let me say that I have owned a 1997 GT, 2004 GT, 2006 GT and the 2010 GT. These cars now are so much more refined. Windows are tight sealed when rolled up like my wife's Mercedes. Cant hear a thing outside, only the roar of the animal under the hood. Handling and suspension are excellent for being stock. Don't get me started on the braking! The interior is the same as my 2010 but I have the new "apps" screen above the steering wheel. Those holding on to the 2005-2009 mustangs because of the "retro" look, you all are missing out on one fine machine. As promised here are a few pics:

JB04GT,

Congratulations, Great color choice! I love the 13', I got a chance to take out our 13' GHIG and WOW was I impressed. The power, handling and stability, breaking ect.. were all perfect.

Looks like your not wasting any time modding this beast, Tint and exhaust already lol. We went with a CAI and Tune for power mods so far and it picked up 35+ RWHP! Check it out:

Enjoy your new ride man, let me know if you ever any questions!

Indeed it is one fine machine!

But... my 08 GT500 is also one fine machine.
The new one does have new perks to it... but I can always mod it if I feel
the need to, which I don't.

I enjoy this body style more and yes that is a big factor.
BUT I also love THIS fine machine as a whole.

We wont EVER get rid of this car!

Great looking ride. White looks really good IMO. Doesnt surprise me that you went for the 2013 vs modding the 2010. You dont seem to hang onto your cars very long which is fine. Lets see some interior shots.

I think they're sweet. Paint matched perfectly, and the guy I paid to install them charged me like 500 bucks for install and tint on the rest. Had to drive around with tape on the outside until they set, but it was no hassle.

You'll get a bit more road noise with them than the standard glass, but it's not much.
