It’s Friday, signifying the end of one more working week. The odds of you being productive on the job today lie between “slim” and “none,” which is why we’re telling you to head on over to the Ford Mustang Customizer Website. What’s there? The chance to build your very own custom Mustang V6, GT, Boss 302 or Shelby GT500. You can choose custom paint, revised bodywork, unique wheels, custom stripe packages and even different backgrounds to view your custom ‘Stang against.
If you think you can beat Ford’s designers at their own game, you can even upload your completed Mustang to Facebook, where you can convince / bribe / threaten friends and relatives to pick your design over everyone else’s. What do you win if you rack up the highest number of votes? Nothing but bragging rights, and the opportunity to know that you’ve designed the baddest Mustang on Facebook.
If you fall in love with your creation and have to see it parked in your driveway, Ford will even supply a list of the Ford or aftermarket components picked to design your one-of-a-kind Mustang. Building just about any configuration is ultimately possible, but it certainly won’t be inexpensive.
If you’re a Mustang fan, the configurator site is guaranteed to take up at least a half-hour of your time, for each Mustang built. In other words, you have 16 Mustangs to get through before 5:00 rolls around, so you’d best get busy.
