  1. Dark Horse - Dealer Premium

    The "detailers" (Dr. Evil finger quotes in air) at my supporting dealer, while prepping the car for receipt, caused the majority of scratches I later 1) removed myself, or 2) had the PPF installers fix. I actually stopped them halfway through, said, "Thank You." and shooed them away. Whichever...
  2. Dark Horse - Dealer Premium

    Pausing until MY25 is probably best. The economy, auto market, new model interest, Ford dealing with first-year issues and on-going supply chain problems are influencing the use of ADMs. Unless having a first year of the mark is important, I'd wait as late a January 2025 to order. The hope is...
  3. Thoughts on Paint Protection - Wrap, Ceramic, Teflon,...

    Something to study when exploring this topic: how to care for these surfaces. Ceramic, PPF and sometimes paint are often akin to your skin: the materials have pores. Incorrect products, such as some soaps, waxes or sealers can negatively impact the properties of the surface being used on. Simply...
  4. Thoughts on Paint Protection - Wrap, Ceramic, Teflon,...

    Some individual owners do great working with ceramic coatings. Others, not so much. Given options, I'd rather have a pro do it. They work with the materials consistently, often in controlled areas. The shop that did my PPF, when they apply PPF or ceramic, their sections are no-go areas. No one...
  5. What comes first? VIN, window sticker or production?

    Generally: 1a. Scheduled for production 1b. VIN VIN is cut the day the build is scheduled for production. Scheduling commits to the build. 2a. Production 2b. Window Sticker My experience, shortly after production began, I got my/had access to the Window Sticker

  7. Clutch pedal noise

    Nah. It will eventually page out. Take Care.
  8. Clutch pedal noise

    Hi Antonio, Welcome to the Forums. Unfortunately, you're posting a problem related to the 6th generation (S550) of the Mustang. The Forum here primarily supports the 7th generation (S650). While you might receive some feedback in these pages, you'll have better luck at the www.mustang6g.com...
  9. Order Error?

    Always good to double-check with the dealer. But yes, I'd go with #1. While monitoring my build in '22, I experienced something similar. I logged in at some point and it was much like Ford's configurator: riddled with errors. I remember one option was not listed. Actually, several. One item...
  10. Normal or Premium Gas

    https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/premium-fuel-for-mustang-dh-to-be-more-expensive.156717/ I want to utilize and appreciate all my car has to offer. Sporting compression ratios of 12:1 (V-8) and 10:1 (EcoBoost), it's also a step towards goodness to use the best. I only run Premium, Top...
  11. Front license plate bracket - is it installed at factory or dealer

    An example of loose items, for the receiving dealer to install during prep.
  12. Front license plate bracket - is it installed at factory or dealer

    Yes, tell the supporting dealer, "Please don't install.", and they won't. The plastic bracket for mine was placed in the trunk. CO is a front plate state. I've passed police several times without issue. I do carry the plate in the car. Some place their front plate on the dash. I have been...
  13. Good news - Order date moved earlier

    :clap: Good for you and everyone I think. Another tell Ford appears to be settling down with this mark.
  14. Why order the Handling Package for a Dark Horse?

    I'd like to think Ford considered it: a lightweight or drag pack option for those headed to the strip. It would be cool to see them do it. But looking at material supply, engineering, production and all that, they probably shelved it due to costs, lack of personnel and/or time.
  15. FordPass App Permissions

    @Workhorse996 So...taking one of the 7G window stickers at random, I loaded the VIN in my app. Ford took it and acknowledged it as a valid VIN. I got that far. But because the car is not complete, it has no connectivity. I then removed the car from the app. It'll be interesting to see who can...
  16. FordPass App Permissions

    That's an interesting idea. I mean, I'd be game. But I don't think you can do it. The car hasn't been sold or associated with the future owner yet. I'd think Ford would link the car and phone/person after the sale? Otherwise, thieves could be using the app, searching and lurking for specific...
  17. FordPass App Permissions

    No, I've not had any issues with the Ford Pass App. If you'd like to study Ford, the car and privacy in-depth, read up on Ford and Telematics. All late model Ford vehicles give feedback to Ford. While Telematics cannot be removed or deleted from the car, it can be disabled...
  18. Order number 0001 question

    I had an order like 65983. So I think it's random, or local/tied to that dealer. It is a good idea to save every scrap of paper. Not much physical documentation is created these days, but whatever you do have, it makes for good keepsakes, provenance, etc. If you can't physically keep...
  19. Why order the Handling Package for a Dark Horse?

    I think whether or not the HP is purchased will depend on the driver and their vision for the car. If they are purchasing because they want something over and above the GT, but will not be going to the track, DH without HP makes sense. A DH without HP would make a great DD. If they are...
  20. In Production Purgatory

    The hope is I'm wrong, right? But I'd not be surprised if the shipper waited to consolidate deliveries instead of doing a one-off, even if that close. Think of it like a hauler. Fifteen minutes? Twenty? Eighteen? A bunch of one-off deliveries can get expensive, versus one full truck to multiple...
