Hello from Newfoundland
Hi everyone. Just found the site so I signed up. Living here on the Island of Newfoundland makes for a short driving season when it comes to owning a convertible but last year the wife and I ordered our 2012 vert for our 30th wedding anniversary. Over the winter I've added a few things here and there to personalize it. We basically call it our cruiser. There's only 7000 km's on it so far so we are hoping to get some good weather soon to get out in it. Here's a few pics of the car.
Hope everyone has a safe driving season.

Thank you very much! I haven't seen a Mustang yet I haven't liked. 
Thank you. Yep I did the install on the wood grain. It's real Burl wood. It was purchased from carid. What you see is a two part kit. A little tricky to install. You only get one chance to do it right because when it sticks it' stuck 
I was told by some I was breaking all kinds of golden rules by installing this kit in a Mustang but I'm not a real good listener and after I did it everyone who have seen it just assumed it came with the car and really liked it so what can I say
I just needed to have it look a little different I guess.
I attached a few more photo's of it for you. I also did the striping. That's another story

OK I'll admit I'm new here so if I'm doing something wrong just let me know but I think we're all alike in saying we like seeing photo's so to keep the boredom going here for you I'll show you my remedy to that rubber antenna we have on these Mustangs.
I wanted something that looked a little sleeker so I took some aluminum round stock, chucked it in the lathe and machined this. I made allowances for an o ring to keep the water out and the reception is as good or better than before. I did etch prime it and paint it black after testing it. Just thought some might enjoy seeing this
