Thanks man, and yes it is a V6. It does have the GT/ California Special front end on it. Of course you can get a V6 to look like 'that', :P

I had Ford put it on for me in the deal during order.

I love the grabber blue stripes. I think it goes really well with the car. It provides a nice contrast between the two colors.

Wow that's awesome! So the GT bumper is also called the California Special bumper? I didn't know dealers did that. How much extra did they charge you for that?

I have a 2011 GT Premium with Performance white and stone interior. It was not my first choice in colors but after having 10" (2) blue stripes put on it made it look very clasic Mustang GT 350ish. After some nice chrome wheels it looks FANTASTIC!!

FWIW most of the kona blue premium stangs have the white stripe and stitching in the seats, not grabber blue. you typically see the GB only on GB cars, black, or white. Most others are white, or whatever ford calls it. It's hard to tell in photos of the premium interior with the 401a pack, but the seats have stitching on the color of the stripe too, in my case grabber blue and the stitching is on the door panels and the wheel as well. I love the red interior, it looks great. I really wish ford had put more grabber blue inside the car like they did on the red. the red premium interior looks great on black or white cars, which i believe are the only two colors you can get it on.

Also FWIW, everyone loves grabber blue. At car shows i have old men and women come tell me how they love the color, kids like it, ricers like it, it's one of the few colors that everyone seems to like. Never once had anyone say anything bad about it. It's GB all the way for me, if ford kills the color next year i'm not sure what color i will get next. Race red is nice, probably that color unless they bring back a real yellow like screaming yellow not that pale crap yellow they have now. lol, we have one of the few 2 story houses and when i had my 05 everyone that needed to find me in the neighborhood described it as the "big two story" now they call my palce "the house with the blue mustang"

My bumper is a GT/California Special bumper which uses a totally different front valence than the usual GT bumper. As you can see on my bumper it has lower fog lights mounted in the valence, the normal GT does not have this.

And I had to pay around 800 dollars for the front bumper.

@5 dot 0 - I don't know who did the stripes for me, but I Ford is trying to find out who created them for me.

A guy in Jacksonville who call's himself the stripe guy. $300 and it took him 6 hours. He did a really good job.

Shane I couldn't agree more about GB. Do not get this color if you don't want attention.

I too wish there was a GB interior leather option but the 401a look is AMAZING.

Grabber Blue is really the only way.
