Well, we got what we wanted....painted mirrors. Apparently we paid for it in unpainted rocker panels!!! WTF gives Ford? I thought I was looking at the V6 model....but I guess not. First thing's first.....get a 2010 Mustang add aftermarket side skirts.

I know how much bs is that. I could deal with that but not increasing the 4.6 to a 5.0 ****

Oh well I will wait for a 2011 hopefully.

They did it to make the car look lower and smaller. The GT 500 has the same thing.

Exactly. I really don't care for it, either, but I see why they did it. I like the way they did the Parnelli Jones cars. They were half painted.
