Finally got my '05 :)

Took delivery last Monday night (11-22). Very happy with the car so far,
but must spend a little more time with it to give a fair evaluation.

Here's some pics:

Very sweet ride. Im buying the same car except convertible and the
black/red interior. Dealer is tormenting me with this mid Feb 05 delivery
date.

You're able to order a convertible already? A friend holding out for the
'verts will be thrilled to hear that! I've seen a few pics of the topless
'05s and they are indeed beautiful <drool>. Hope to see some pics when you
take delivery

Real nice. So how's that Shaker system sound? Awesome garage, btw.

Joe
Calypso Green '93 5.0 LX AOD hatch with a few goodies
Black '03 Dakota 5.9 R/T CC

The Shaker 1000 sounds excellent, well worth the extra $$, IMO. It's very
bassy-sounding, but thankfully can be adjusted to suit various music tastes.
One thing I didn't expect was the trunk rattle when the bass is hitting.
Even at moderate bass settings, there's this constant noise coming from
around/underneath the trunk area. Several '05 owners in the Stangnet forum
report no rattles in their 1000 systems, so it may be something inherent to
that type of system that I'm just not accustomed to <shrug>

Sorry, wanted to be more clearer about the rattle: the noise I'm referring
to can only be heard at the outside rear of the car. The inside is tight as
a drum and rattle-free when the volume is turned up.

I KNOW you are going to think this is nuts, but check your rear license
plate and plate frame.
It's quite possible it is the culprit. If it is, you can get little adhesive
backed rubber bumpers to put under it to stop it's rattling.

Am I really supposed to post all the mods I have made to my car in this
little space?

That's a good idea, but unfortuately there's no license plate or frame at
all right now, only a paper temp tag.

Thats a sweet ride..... it is very simiular to the one I ordered, mine has
got light graphite interior. Glad you got yours, expect mine after the first
of the year..... if they don't prolong it on account of the option parts
Ford can't keep up with.... got my fingers crossed.....

In retrospect, I kind of wish I'd gotten the light graphite. The dark
charcoal creates quite a midnight atmosphere in the car, especially with the
absence of the IUP. It's all good though; dark colors hide dirt

So far, there's a shortage of the IUP and spoilers, correct? I hope Ford
wasn't shortsighted on anything else that would further delay the delivery
of your car! Best of luck, hope you get it soon.
