Daisy’s First Photo Shoot

[GT Marcus]

I think it's a perfect combination of colours and upgrades. Well executed!

Daisy's a sweet name. Mine's called Bonnie, Bonnie Blue.

I kinda like the tv screen cover. Should come like that from the factory.

Saleen has a screen cover like that for $1000 still not sure about it.

Daisy is my 2025 Mustang GT Premium, and I just took her out for her first photoshoot. She‘s got the 6-speed manual transmission, the GT Performance Pack, Magnaride suspension, active exhaust, and all the goodies.

Daisy has been wrapped in KPMF “Indulgent Blue” glossy metallic. I had them cover the “fake grill” portions of the front bumper, and I think it looks MUCH better this way! (More “classic Mustang” and less “large-mouth grouper fish”). The stripe closely mimics the Super Snake, but it’s not an attempt at stolen valor. I’ve just always liked the style, and it’s far less common than the everyday dual-stipe.

The wheels are Ferrada CM-1’s, and I replaced the center caps with my own custom designed tri-bar Mustang pony logo. She has the RTR hood vent and corner grills. The front splitter is from Air Design, and the rear spoiler is an aftermarket GT Performance Pack clone (not normally available for the convertible, but finally appearing from some E-bay vendors). And speaking of E-bay, the retracted convertible top “beauty side covers” are available there as well.

Inside, you’ll note the Billetworkz “Fusion” weighted shift knob… an almost perfect color match. (I colored in the shift pattern myself… they only offer it in silver). I also added the blue piping to the door panels for some extra pizzazz. You probably can’t see ‘em, but she’s also rockin’ the Tuxmat full-coverage floor mats. They fit as snug as yoga pants, and I replaced the company logo with my own more “Mustangy” preference. And I’m the very satisfied owner of a Saleen instrument panel cowl, which makes it look more like a part of the dashboard, and not a big iPad glued on as an afterthought.

That’s not everything, but those are the most obvious visible mods. I’m no gear-head, and 486 horses are plenty for me, so she’s stock under the hood. But I’ve always liked to make sure my cars stand out enough that I can find them in a crowded parking lot. So what do you think? Does Daisy look good with her makeup on? She goes to her first Cars ‘n’ Coffee on the 5th of July, early in the morning after a late night out watching fireworks.

Very nice job looks like a sweet ride. Enjoy.

Or does that hold the heat in more?

Too expensive.

I had the car out a bit over an hour today in 97 degree temps, and remembering this conversation I felt it all over before putting her back in the garage. It felt barely room temperature, let alone hot from either the sun or any heat the instrument cluster might be generating itself. Yesterday it was exposed to 94 degree temps pretty much all day. Whatever they make it out of seems well insulated. Keeping heat out? Keeping heat in? I'm not going to bother playing that guessing game.

Will it explode some day? Until it does, I'm not going to be afraid and assume that the worst is going to happen. At the price Saleen is getting now, though, I'll consider myself very fortunate to have gotten in on the ground floor. All I can say is, if you have the money to burn, and want to splurge, I haven't had any problems myself after a couple days in a row of sweltering heat and humidity. If you're the slightest bit concerned, wait a year and ask me how it's going. I'm giving no guarantees, but I'm not going to worry until there's something to worry about.

I'm surprised nobody has zoomed in and commented on my side badges yet.

Love the thin blue line piping on the door. My favorite color is blue. That instrument cowl is a very expensive, but good looking piece. My daughter wants one on her DH. The stitching would have to match. They are available in many colors of stitching. Nice car.

I saw those... painted, or stickers?

That screen cover is beautiful and you are lucky to have bought one at a reasonable price.

Maybe one day there will be more options to choose from and prices will drop down to something reasonable. As far as I can see Saleen is the only option and it’s really nice! Not $1,000 nice, but damn…..

The coyote is a sticker. (Further protected from sun fade by the Revivify coating over the entire car). I edited it on my computer for size and detail, then submitted it to Decals.com.

The 5.0 badge is from the 2014 'Stangs (I like "real" chrome, not the polished aluminum look). And I believe I found the "Coyote V8" badge on Amazon or E-bay.

I hope one day to pull up next to a Road Runner at a stop light.

Good looking car except for the red badges and coyote stickers

How was the install. Is it installed with screws/bolts, or is it glued on?

does the screen cover impact passenger assist? As in, does the screen cover make it more difficult for the passenger to manipulate the center screen (as in playing with carplay/android auto/maps, etc)? The shade provided by the cover should in effect help reduce the amount of bake to the backside of the display.
