My new 2012 kona blue, AM deck lid, dash kit
Folks,
After 3 long months waiting for my first Mustang ever...I've been missing out but glad to be in the club!
This is one heck of a car!
Same day i got the car, the floor mats, AM deck lid came in, followed by the dash kit. Been sleeping little these last couple of days driving or putting things into the car. The whole bumper, front of fenders, up the whole hood 16", mirrors, behind door handles, have Ventureshield "bra" paint protection applied. Quarters and back window tinted 28%.
Will be replacing the exhausts with Borla S type axle backs, finding the stocks too quiet. Will also get all side markers and tails tinted next week.
Enjoy the pics here.

Welcome to the forum! Car looks great, and I'm diggin' the dash kit.
I know what you mean about the wait. I myself, had to wait 4 months and I averaged around 11mpg the first day driving it because I was flooring it on every straight away haha.

Thanks, everyone! I'm loving this car!
I only got the car a few days ago so it's completely holding up well. I wiped the deck lid panel down today with meguiar's dash protectant and it looks better as it's become a deep black. I wiped it down just enough so that it's not shiny.
BTW, aside from the usual look over when picking up your new cars, be sure to check the tire pressures as i didn't do this. I checked the tires today and they were all at 40 psi. The door jamb states 32 psi. I have the optional 19" aluminum wheels/pirelli tires, non brembo.
