Some Mach 1 things floating around in my head

[Performance nut]

• How does Ford prevent damaging Michelin Pilot tires before and during delivery to customers in the north? Michelin suggests not even using a Cup2 in any load bearing fashion below 40°F
• Why isn't Twister Orange with orange calipers an option
• Someone stated that 35% of Mach 1's were Fighter Jet Grey. Are production numbers published somewhere online?

Or this if you like the white stripe instead

Uhh... the fact that it's orange.

Oooh, that second rendering is quite nice.

You could probably throw some G2 caliper paint and a new Brembo decal on the normal calipers, barring all else. Not sure if the orange calipers would be a separate part number... or if it'd be remotely worth it to someone to spend what, $2, 3000 on the same brakes, but a different color. I'm not entirely sure they match—though, the Ford build renders are dubious at best.

I thought about powercoating them or use epoxy paint. I have swapped calipers before, not that big of a thing. Someone is always looking for what you got (if the price is right) so I'm sure I could get something back. Though for the price of putting on red calipers at the factory, it would seem just as easy to put on the orange ones since that is the part they would use if the car was Fighter Jet Gray.

BTW, I have seen the orange calipers in real life. Its pretty close to what is on the website. Unlike Velocity Blue on the website

I'd planned epoxy painting mine for some time, until very recently when mulling over ordering a custom build in '22 and trading up. G2 has good reviews from my research. Now, I'm not sure if you'd need to do something about the existing black Brembo finish or not... That'd be something to look into.

Fair enough. I didn't want to pass judgement on the build tool image just in case. It almost looks like they're a duller orange in render.

whoever is responsible for the vel blue on the website needs to get axed.

Don’t even bother with trying to paint them. The orange calipers are not that expensive. $120 for a rear and about $400 for the front caliper.

See that is what I was I was hoping for. Any chance you have the part numbers?

Really now??? Honestly, that surprises me. I half expected Ford's OEM prices to be double that at least, even if that's the Levittown discount price.

Definitely doesn’t seem like a bad deal at all

Lets be real here. If ford had GOOD designers they wouldn't have so many wheels that look like they are rehashes of the FR500 wheels from 1999. Or proudly state that their HP M1 wheel is inspired by a "birds nest".

Dumbest shit I ever heard, and I spent 7years working in a design/advertising house.
