It isn’t special
From reading over the 2023 packages …
… I appear to have a 2023 Mustang GT Premium (with some options), but not a California Special. The only California Special specific trim I see on my car is the front grille. And maybe the wheels? It definitely does not have the red interior stitching, the GT/CS strut bar, or the rear badge.
I am actually okay with this. The rear badge would be nice to have, but just because I think it’s prettier than the big silver GT. Other than that, I prefer the GT Premium styling.
Removing the “GT/CS” was easy, fortunately.
I had tried to find OEM “California Special” floor mats, but couldn’t find any, so I got these from 3D Mats instead. A good thing, as it turns out. I also picked up a cheap trunk mat from Amazon.
