So I have been off the site for years due to never really doing much with my 95. Fast forward to now, I've moved out of the cold, rainy, snowy and humid northeast, to the super hot but nice year round deserts of Arizona. Got the wife the big house with a pool and, in exchange, got myself a brand new fully loaded 2017 GT, take delivery 9/1. Was going to hold out for the 18's, but I lack patience, plus with the incentives and the D plan for employees, couldn't pass it up. So all that being said, what's the first thing I should do/anything I shouldn't do? My long term plans are to get another Kenne Bell, especially considering how much better they've gotten since my last one.

Congrats on the buy! Depending if it is a Performance Pack or Premium.

I would recommend the Ford Racing Borla Sport exhaust and a paint protection coating to mitigate the chances if rock chips on our cars.

What color did you get?

I did get the performance pack, in Magnetic metallic (dark grey). I was definitely looking into the front end protection to fend off the. It's and rocks.

Just an Fyi my 17 had trash issues in the paint, I only noticed it after I found rock chips.

Make sure you check your car around the windows and back glass is mine was concentrated at before taking delivery.

Congrats on the buy, I liked the Magnetic but ended up with Race Red

Appreciate the feedback, will definitely give it a closer look. It actually arrived early so I'm going to be viewing it for the first time tonight.
