Whats up everyone. I'm a new owner and loving it! Found a good deal on a 2005 Mustang GT Roush Sport 5 speed so I had to get it. Never guessed i'd own a convertible but i'm liking it so far. I haven't done anything yet except paint the calipers red. I can't decide where i want to start. Heres a quick cell picture.

Looks like a nice ride.. though those are not Roush wheels. Have you done a VIN check on the Roush site?

I figured you might have picked up the sport but something liked odd to me last night.

Nice find!! If you don't mind me asking, how much did you get it for?

I like the Roush wheels, but they are expensive :P

Mine are stock red leather seats (interior upgrade package). Sounds like you got a great steal! BTW, welcome aboard.

Welcome to the wonder highly addictive world know as the Mustang. Keep an eye on your wallet and foot to the floor the whole time.
