First mods to your Mach 1

[sakman84]

I negotiated on a few left over Bullitts, wanted black without recaros, but then I heard about the Tremec in the M1. The stripes are growing on me...still unsure if I'll pull them off.

Loved the Bullitt green, but the Tremec rumors at the time kept me out of one. The M1 stripes look better in person, especially the red on black cars with red calipers.

and the item at your link didn't have that text.

There's only a handful of 2021 cars that were given to people, it's clear that many sellers didn't update their parts texts yet. When the OEM part number is identical you can be sure it's the identical item. It can be ordered at any Ford Parts dealer, often times the online eshops have better price than dealers. At least this one is cheap and easy to install and looks nice and works nice so doesn't really matter which brand it is or how much it costs

How much time are you guys going to spend under the hood considering the considerations for the hood struts

Have to consider that.

The hood strut kits do seem the same except for the mounting bracket that attaches to the hood. The Redline and the Steeda bracket has a lot more surface area while the Ford is a lot smaller. This should give more resistance to flexing.

Hah! Should get you handicapped parking, too. I'm serious, actually feel bad for that girl.

You prefer them to Ford Performance?

You will see a lot of negative comments on the F P hood struts. For whatever reason, they don't compare in quality to the Redlines

 

[cactus_kid]

Because I am king of the OCD, I called STEEDA about the lifts. The guy on the phone tells me that they don't have the part yet for the Mach1. So, if you bought them... it sounds a bit iffy.

They have some new hires that can't tie their own shoe laces. When I call I always ask for Rodney or Brian. They are at corporate in FL. They've been with Steeda since the lord said, "Noah ........... How long can you tread water ? Ha ha ha !"

That's what I keep wondering. I keep the tech in the dealers quick lane well tipped. A sawbuck each time. Trust me, he remembers.

Can you send me the link to the precise struts you recommend? I guess it is the Redline brand.
Thanks.

Just kidding.


Noticed this one the other day, same as HP spoiler / GT500 but in carbon:

That first one is hilarious. The second one is about 1000 and not sure if it would fit without some drilling etc.

I just ordered the ford performance struts I linked you to...

So based on what the gang here is saying, I think it would make sense to stop the FP strut order and get the redlines instead.

 

[hbash]

Yep

Gonna cancel the FPs and get those based on what most folks here are saying.
