January 15, 2017 Update
I bought this car with the hope of the Vancouver, BC weather continuing for the past 2 years with snow for only half a day in that time period. You know "Global Warming"? I gambled and lost. Sadly, due to the weather conditions this year, I've been unable to drive my GT350 as a daily driver for almost 2 months so I sold it I've had to purchase another car as a daily driver and I won't have a $75k Cdn car sitting for a few months a year. I will look to find the right Mustang to take to car shows and only drive a few months a year.

May 19, 2016 Update
Luke and Mark from Protex installed their Paint Protection Film today on my front bumper, fenders, hood, roof, headlights, rear side panels in front of the rear wheel wells, and the black rear trunk lid panel to protect from scratches. I don't have to worry about rock chips now. Check the web site http://www.protexvancouver.ca/ The Product is well worth the price when considering the cost of the GT350. Protex Ultra is made by Xpel and is the same as Xpel Ultimate except Protex gives a lifetime guarantee for the product on the car no matter who owns it.
May 15, 2016 Updates

April 30, 2016 Updates
I installed the 50 Years Floor mats and Trunk Mat with Cargo Net from my 2015 Mustang. I also installed the Ford Performance Parts Driver's side and Passenger side Oil Separators. I had to modify the Black Rad Coolant Expansion tank cover to fit passenger side Oil Separator.
As of April 23, 2016
I am now the proud owner of a 2016 Ford Performance Shelby GT350 as my new daily driver. This is my dream car ever since it was introduced and is worth every penny of the price. Here are some quick pictures on my first day with the car. My first mod on the car was moving the Black Rad Expansion Tank Cover over from my previous 2015 Mustang V6. Plus 10' x 10' Display Tent, Owners Oil Wrench kit, Owners Supplement kit with cast Flat Plain Crank, and Engraved Owners Portrait.
