Aftermarket parts and paint - Design Phase

So I guess I will start at the beginning, which takes place last August (06'), As my wife can verify for you, my obsession with this car exploded! I stopped by North Country Ford in Coon rapids MN., and started the process of pre-ordering my car. Luckily for me the guys at the Ford dealership understood my obsession and helped me out with options on the car and what aftermarket items I could get.
At this point I think I spent two or three days trying to decide which Mach 1 design I liked best. I went with the simple yet strikingly stylized 1969 Mach 1. Here's a list of options I wanted to go with.

Exterior Parts -

Shaker Air Intake System: A must have fully functional air intake system
Aggressive Classic Chin Spoiler: Designed after the classic mustang chin spoilers
Duck Tail Spoiler: ... its a spoiler very sleek
1/4 Window Louvers: Pre-Painted louvers from Rousch
Rear Window Louver: This item is an exact replica of the 69'-70' rear window louvers
Remove Badges: Removal of all GT badges
Hood Pins: Fully functional hood pins, none of the stick on crap
Rear Tail light Assembly: A Saleen product designed to fit on the trunk lid between the tail lights
Wheels: 18" Magnum 500's

Exterior Paint -

Flat Black Hood: I decided to keep the factory hood and paint it Matte-Black
Mach 1 Logo Stripes: Painted on the rocker panels and on the trunk lid duck tail


Interior -

Custom Leather
: Black with Dark Blue inlay

With the plan in place I sat back and waited... and waited... then finally January 07' came around. The order was placed with an expected delivery date of mid April.
