Tough crowd. OK, OK. I'll snap some more. I should have taken some engine bay pictures before this rain. Now I'm going to have to wipe it all down. UGH!

Doesn't the MCA (Mustang Club of America) package come with an aluminum billet grille? (I know you've got the Pony package on yours) I do like the one you posted on the GT.

I forgot to mention that another thing I like about the 2011-12 Mustang is the sequential taillights... like on the old Mercury Cougar. Very cool and retro. I like the stock wheels you've got on too. What's on the center/hub of the wheel, though?

About the early introduction of the 2012 Mustang... wasn't the reason they did that because they came out with "new & improved" engines and transmissions for both the V6 and the V8? Your V6 now makes about 305HP while getting 31mpg highway, and they brought back the 5.0L engine for the GT, which puts out 412HP while getting 26mpg highway.

Lovin' the photos! Like others have said, your car looks much better without the tape stripes.

You do realize, however, that you're really making me start to regret my decision to hold on to my Monte for a while longer now, don't you? lol

Yes, that grill comes on the MCA Edition. I actually wanted that one at first, but they're very rare cars. So I some what settled, but I still couldn't be happier. I do want that grill though! I think it plays into the HID headlights better.

Oh yeah. That's one of my favorite parts about the car. I also get a lot of compliments on them.

I'm a fan as well. The caps are the Tri-bar pony emblem. Like this...

Thank you! I'm definitely loving this car. And yes, more than the Monte! lol You can't get away from red like I can't get away from black.

Me too. Do you like it better than the pony grill that I have currently?
