Default Hello...my first Mustang

Don't know why I waited so long! Glad I finally was able to buy a Mustang.

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your purchase! That's an aggressive looking Stang you have!

Any plans for the new ride?

haha! Paid a hefty price for what I wanted since I'm getting too old to do my own mods, plus I watched way too many youtube videos on the Mustang lol! Got the 401a package for the digital display, magnaride suspension, active valve exhaust so I can be a nice neighbor, smart and safe package because I don't trust other drivers, Recaro seats because they were already there haha, Eckbond treatment mostly to get dings and windshield cracks repair coverage and Lojack. I also purchased the extended warranty since the Dealer gave me a written 100% refund agreement if I don't use it. Got it as a backup in case there are items not covered by my mechanical breakdown coverage in my Geico auto policy.

I've had a few minor issues. The first was a misaligned left fender that the dealer's body shop just fixed. Second is some minor rattle in the clutch/transmission after I shift and accelerate. There is no rattle when I rev the motor in neutral. Not sure what is causing the rattle but I'm going to replace the plastic reverse lockout collar with a billet one and put some dampening material in and around the shifter, especially under the spring under the lockout collar.

My first "mod" will be tint haha! Not exactly sure with performance mods but any ideas you have are definitely appreciated! The one thing that scares me is how much play there is in the shifter assembly on such a beasty car.
