Thanks to everyone for the compliments and welcomes.

I particularly liked the color combo too.

Now, maybe a center stripe, cold air intake etc. LOL

Welcome and congrats. My Mustang is my first Ford too. The color of yours looks to be Vista Blue... my favorite.

Thanks again for the warm welcome.

We went out to get a burger, saw the Mustang and brought it home. Lol

I'm in SW Va on the TN line. Bristol to be exact. Probably a couple months before really enjoying the convertible.

I've seen some very nice rides here so far. Now that I have it it's time to mod.

You and your wife should join us for the Tail of the Dragon run in April.

I was reading some about the Dragon ride. Sounds like it could be a lot of fun.

I've never been to the TOTD even though I have said I was going to ride it on my bike. Although I am kind of partial to The Snake.

I'll see what she thinks and if we can both be off work. I drive a truck over the road and am gone for two weeks at a time.

Thanks for the offer to help with the upgrades. I think the first thing will be a cold air intake. My neighbor has an 010 GT and he installed one and said it really did make a difference

Definitely check into our Steeda cold air intake and SCT X3 tuner. We've seen gains of about 16-20RWHP of that combo. You can see more about it here: http://www.steeda.com/store/steeda-h...ustang-v6.html

Thanks for the info on the Cold Air Intake. I have been compiling a list of things I definitely want to get for it.

Cold Air Intake
Stripe Kit (Gold..which I am having a hard time finding. The kit that has the wide dual stripes that go on the front and rear bumper)
GT style grille with fog lights
