Had a couple of hours before the rains came it. Tried Gyeon Bathe+ for the first time. Honestly can say it is the best car wash product I have ever used. I'll add a coat of the new Gyeon Ceramic Detailer tomorrow.

A tie? Two shared gold medals...

But a split open 10r80 ... I'm not sure I even understand what he is doing!

Wait, is that an OEM Mach 1 front end on 2018 GT? I didn't know a) they fit and b) if aftermarket, that anyone made it yet

Any more pics?

Yessir it is. OEM ford bumper and parts. My car is a fully optioned 18 magride premuim car. Mach 1 front end will bolt right on to any 18+ car. Only difference in the Mach to the GT is there is wiring differences in the turn signaling and blinkers. ( turn signals are actually the same part numbers as 15-20 GT350s/R's) Colors are mostly the same on wiring I just had to cut and make some OEM wiring harnesses to get them to work and plug in like factory. I acutally used the Diode dynamics GT350 LED turn signals on mine with have a DRL feature and sequential blinkers. Lot of Aero and brake cooling benefits doing this swap. Pictured below is the stock PP1 underbelly and the Mach underbelly(double the size). Also the Mach inner fenders are vented to get cold air from the side grills. There are ducting tubes also that is the same part/part numbers used on the GT350 on the Mach that route the air directly from the center lower grill corners to the brake rotors. I was lucky and got access to a complete bumper essentially that was brand new minus some minor defects from the factory. Im still into this front end swap almost $3k. That getting a deal on the bumper complete and my pricing on discounted Ford OE parts. If I had to buy everything regular price and separate it would prob be close to $5k for everything......A LOT for essentially a front bumper cover and some Aero. Looks wise tho it fixes my biggest pet peeve of this car, the front end. Before it was never aggressive like the higher trim cars. Spec wise now my car is essentially the same as a Mach if you'd buy one brand new. I was the first to figure out the rear OEM GT500 valance rear aero swap last year on 18+ cars. Levitown Ford parts built their rear valance swap kit off the part numbers I sent them when I first ordered all the parts. So only thing Its missing for a complete Mach swap is the badges now (which i'm not doing)lol. Even though the car is essentially the same as a Mach 1 in not going to up badge the car to something it really isn't. 18-21 aftermarket Aluminum GT350 front fenders get here tomorrow and those will be fitted and sent off to paint. Stoked to see it all finished and with a built transmission. ha!

which ones?

 

[V8der]

which ones?

i5 Autohaus makes them. but I think they are a re package from another company. they look really good though and the quality of them is like factory from others who have them told me. Fender vents I think are identical to OE GT350 ones. Ill verify all of the above tomorrow when they get here and I see them for myself. haha

Sorry about that man. I'd have anxiety living in the Denver area. Hail capitol of the world lol

Thank you! Yeah, I have been here for most of my life and in the 18 years of owning cars (with minimal use of a garage), I have never had real hail damage issues. I am not looking forward to the hassle of getting my car in to get it fixed. Luckily my comprehensive insurance policy covers it.

Thx! Got access to a new take off bumper that had some minor paint damage/ splitter damage and was removed. Came complete with everything minis the handling pack lower splitter. Had to order all the underbelly aero,inner fenders and handling pack parts from Ford. Not a lot of part numbers and access to the Mach stuff. Took a while for find it all and order it. Bumper cover itself shows as “service only” so not sure you can even order that from Ford.

You need the air designs front pieces and the Mach1 fenders. For a full front end conversion. Go for it. But what i really wanna see is someone do this with a convertible.

Hmm. Says it doesn’t fit my 2020 GT/CS. I already have the PP1 splitter like all factory California Specials. Don’t see why this wouldn’t work. Maybe they just haven’t updated beyond 2019.

It fit like a glove on the 2019 PP1. I think your existing CS has a different lower under air dam. This splitter I installed connected to some unused body bolt clips that were waiting for a PP2 splitter. I imagine you can get it to work. It really doesn't connect to the existing splitter. It connects to that under air dam cover that covers the under engine area.

Mach 1 fenders are same as GT’s just no badge holes for the emblem. Air designs flares just bolt to factory locations on the inner fender and M1 bumper. I have them but havent put them on yet. $330 dollars for those little plastic flares. Lol Figured $800 for gt350 fenders was money better well spent looks wise. I am going to see if they work on the 350 fenders before I return them haha. Could be a good look! Def like to see a convertible done up too!

 

[shogun32]

there's not a lick of useful difference between the two. Why do you think otherwise?

$330 dollars for those little plastic flares.

That's why people in the know use the GM flares from the Grand Sport. At a still preposterous $160/pair. Or wait for the inevitable knockoffs from our friends the Chinese at $60/pair.

Added Redline Tuning Hood Lifts. Still need to remove prop rod.

 

[4leghorse]

Just swapped the chrome badges with matte black badges

 

[GTP]

The best place to store the prop rod is right where it started.

You never know when you want a safety backup, and it really doesn't look bad.

I sampled my 75w140 diff oil after the 3rd track day. 260F max temp each day. Does not look dark. I'm pretty sure the tiny particles are just some of the OEM gasket compound, because they are the same tangerine color.
