My family attended a Christmas parade this weekend that featured lots of Mustangs, ranging from base V-6's through GT500-K's (well ONE GT500-K). The cars were paraded by a viewing stand for the public to see. One car got a standing ovation. It was a very sharp and tastefully customized grabber orange Pony V-6.

Yes, I can. At the last Mustang show I attended, one of the most beautiful and popular cars was a highly customized 1969 Mustang fastback. AT another show the winner of "Best in Show" was a customized 2005 Mustang V-6. No, I DON'T think customizing a specialty car like the GT-500 or Bullit is a good thing. However a basic GT or even the V-6 is like a blank canvas to an artist. Adding to Ford's already beautiful styling HELPS, not hurts these cars and the public tends to agree. At a show judged by members of the viewing public I have never seen a totally stock Mustang win anything. Basic, low-end cars right off the lot all look identical. You'd be just as well of buying a more transportation-oriented car.
