Regrets...none since it's the best car I have ever bought. However, I wish I had choosen to go without the spolier. Like Pyrat I want the ducktail. But never, ever, ever a regret. Definetly make them do your tint. Should come standard as far as I'm concerned but, I live in Vegas and 100+ degrees in a everyday thing between July and August. You get the idea.
Yeah, i've thought about a ducktail myself... CDC does make this that covers up the holes:

I regret not getting a V8, then again, I can barely afford to pay for insurance and this car. So 5% regret it.

Besides, if I had a GT this early in my life, what would I have to live for? [&:]

I wish I would have gotten the insturment console with all 4 readouts(temp, fuel, oil & battery), right now ours just have 2(fuel and temp). I could have talked the salesmen into better rims too. Make sure you talk them into doing your tint too.
I have to chime in on this one, I got every option available on this car except for my color and the instrument panel, which is what I am really after.

One of the main problems with the Automatic is they are upshift happy to maximize fuel economy... At light throttle the car will be in 3rd gear by 16MPH! Also, Ford likes to make the shift so smooth it's ridculous... LOL!

Soooo... I would pick up an SCT X-Cal2... it will fix a lot of shortcomings of the automatic... I recommend Lidio at Alternative Auto (www.alternativeauto.com). It will greatly improve the feel of your automatic. I've also pushed out my shift points... So the car is no longer upshift happy, it keeps the RPMs up more in the power band... it just feels like is in the right gear now... especially if I come off a stop light at light throttle and then get on it... I'm no longer in 3rd at 16MPH.... I'm still in first... so when I punch it I GO... no more annoying downshifts!
