Call me old fashioned, but before I modify my Mustang, I'd like to make it as pristine as it was off the factory floor. So far, a few minor things are malfunctioning, and standing in my way:

1) Power Driver's seat doesn't work
2) The driver's side license plate light housing is broken
3) The Stainless Steel tips need replaced.
4) The air dam type plastic thing that clips to the radiator support is ragged
5) The leather is cracked on the front seats
6) The cigarette lighter housing won't stay up
7) The tint isn't dark enough (IMO)
8) It needs lowered, no doubt
9) The cigarette lighter is used, green and nasty looking.
10) the seat belts don't like to suck back when I take them off

I'm sure there is more... Let's hear your imperfections!

I think modding a car should be to improve it too...

Mine are:
No tint
Brakes aren't very good (is it just me?)
Crappy stereo
Handling is horrible as well
Shifting is kind of awkward sometimes

Those are my only complaints which can be fixed pretty easily.

Not fast enough. But no real problems besides the seatbelt that was replaced under warranty.

Window decides it doesn't wana work at random times. Fixes itself after a few hours. My fargin CC plates are clunky (fixing that this weekend)

My seat cracked as well and I tried to get a shop to fix it and they made a mess of it. Took it to ford and they replaced the whole cover!

Sometimes I have to jiggle the seat belt to get the seat belt chime to shut up.

Other than that I've got no problems other than a lack of $$$ for mods.

I love the car - only issues are the window/door seals leak air driving down the highway with the windows up. The ususal 3650 Tranny issues (clunk, grind, reverse), and the previous owner (I knew was a teenager) probably learned how to drive a stick in this car and warped the pressure plate (tons of chatter/vibration 2000 RPM+).

I'm going to try and get all those resolved (maybe not the usual 3650 stuff)under factory warranty before the powermods start roll'n.

I had the "tick" in the head that alot of people with Mach 1's have. They replaced the valve spring on the driver side head. Small fade mark in the paint, so they buffed the front end. Other than that it's been OK. I only have 1,000 miles on it so we'll see what else happens.

Window seals leak a bit when power spraying when I wash it. Not when it rains (thank god). Solution: don't power spray windows. Other than that, love it.
