In fact, I think it has nice wide side mirrors compared to other cars.

Burt -
Very nice. Let's see, you say you've hade it four weeks now? . . . . my guess is that you've Zainoed it at least half a dozen times already.
By the way . . .after only four weeks and you already have plates for it? Is that a New Hampshire thing? Plates arrive instantly? Here on the Left Coast it takes months for plates to arrive.
Enjoy it!!!!!

Thanks everyone… 
Wild Bill – Yes, I am going to love it. I love the black just a bear to keep clean and thus the reason with going with vista blue. The vista blue is very close to sonic blue.
1969Mach – SWEET car you have and I’m the jealous one. As Quintin stated to you the 4.0 V6 is an awesome motor and putting out some good horsepower, I believe about 210hp.
FX4AARON – While the car probably has some blind spots I haven’t really noticed any. At least when using the mirrors I don’t have any issues with seeing anything on any of the sides.
CrAz3D – No plans for it yet but that is always subject to change…
Kobiashi – No, I haven’t had it 4 weeks I have only had it 4 days, as of today. Bought it just last Wednesday 6/14, got the 3 coats of Zaino on it Friday 6/16 and got the plates for it on Friday as well 6/16. You don’t have to wait for plates in NH unless they are specialty plates, regular plates and standard veteran plates (which are what I have on, notice the V before the number as well as it has veteran on the top of the plate but hard to see in pictures) When you go register a vehicle you do it in your town and pay the town fees and state fees in one place and that is where they have the plates on hand.
For those curious the car was built on 5/24/06 a Wednesday…

Congrats '01. That Mustang is one nice ride! But now there is one less Lightning owner representing the north east.

That's just about the exact same car I intend to order in the next year or so, except I'm leaning towards the Grabber Orange color that is coming out in '07 along with the darker colored leather interior!
Not sure if I want an '07 or an '08 -- the '07 would assure me of having the Grabber Orange color, but the '08 would be the 40th anniversary of my favorite bodystyle Mustang (the '68) so there would be some sort of weird sentimental attachment associated with waiting for the '08.
Either way, I can't wait to slide my Mustang into my garage next to ol' Blue!
Enjoy yours!

^^^^Agreed. Wow thats a dream car garage!!!!
First off nice car!!! I know I'll probably get ran out of here saying this but I think the new Challenger looks kick @$$. I loved the new mustsngs when they came out but I think that the challenger is sweet. I also think the new camero and trans am are U-G-L-Y UUUUUGLYYY. Here is the Challenger concept if anyone hasn't seen it:
