Why would you Order a 2020 when 2 weeks later you could order a 2021?

What would the Pros/Cons be?

Antimatter Blue and Carbonized Gray are also Bronco colors and can be seen on the Bronco build and price, FYI

Correct, but for whatever reason it’s hard for me personally to judge it until I see it on the car vs a truck or SUV.
I will say for ‘21 Ford said Jet Fighter Grey is only for the special track package Mach 1.
I think Carbonized will look like another shade or Magnetic, Sterling Grey, Dark Shadow Grey.
I’m still holding out for Antimatter though, hopefully it’s a blue without the purple effect, my only knock on Kona or Sonic, just too purple in low light although killer in direct sun.
Still can’t wait to see the CF handling pack.
To date my favorite current 500 is the Iconic Silver with White stripe CFTP.

This is antimatter blue just so you can see what kind of blue it is.

So, in reading the bulletin, the Carbon Fiber Handling Package is the Handling Package we currently have plus black-painted CF wheels and the strut mounts?

I bought a Coverking cover for my GT350 in black. Fitment was perfect. Material was thick softness designed to protect and breathe.

Just so happens that the 2020 factory GT500 covers are the same material and from the same company. I have no ****ing idea why I chose red other than it is sexy as ****.

Color me extremely satisfied with the factory cover. It doesn't get any plusher.
I noticed that the CoverKing completely covers the wheels, whereas the factory cover for your GT-500 partially covers the wheels. I only mention that because you said is from the same company. But the coverage is slightly less. My own cover for my G-70 covers about 3/4 of my wheels. I wish it was full, 100%, coverage.
