I am a fan... And a pop of orange inside too

Shopping MGW now. You go with X profile or ??
Don't know. I just ordered what was on the website for the Mach 1
I believe the Mach One already is transmission mounted. The GT is definitely not. I'd call the company to check if it's for the Mach 1, which is a Tremec.
Just looked on their website. The Mach 1/GT350/Dark Horse only have one option due to the Tremec trans. The MT 82 has 2 options. I am not sure which one I would get. Both would be sweet, depends on if you want the extra short throw or not.
Mach 1 MGW mounts to the chassis and transmission. So it's not truly a transmission mounted shifter. But thE MGW GT won't fit the GTs Getrag. I've heard MGWs getrag transmission mounted shifter is much better than others.
To be honest, anyone you could ask would tell you it looks good car person or not...overall I feel like you're might be beating yourself over it because it's not the "norm" or its not an "OEM" color but if anything uniqueness is rarely seen nowadays in the car community... now if you're one of those guys that wants an OEM look and try to to make this look like a Ford vehicle off the lot then go ahead and change them to red, but personally if you're about making your ride yours and customizing then here's some advice to make you the love the orange...Went orange to be a little different than the standard red, but now regretting it a bit and thinking I should have gone red or just full black. Thoughts?
I’ll never understand slamming a car that low. Maybe a pure track car. Where I live in Texas, that chin spoiler would be toast after one intersection.To be honest, anyone you could ask would tell you it looks good car person or not...overall I feel like you're might be beating yourself over it because it's not the "norm" or its not an "OEM" color but if anything uniqueness is rarely seen nowadays in the car community... now if you're one of those guys that wants an OEM look and try to to make this look like a Ford vehicle off the lot then go ahead and change them to red, but personally if you're about making your ride yours and customizing then here's some advice to make you the love the orange...
Paint Matching - I feel like for you to fall in love with the orange, you're gonna need more orange...now would be a good time to paint the calipers...orange badges as well (Orange 5.0 Badges), blank decklid too and a orange coyote howler badge (easy mod you can do that won't break the bank...$50 Ebay decklid, $30-$50 badge.
Euro Talights - Personally I feel like this would tie the car up nice, nothing much needs to be said but it's kind of obvious that the red taillights just clash with the orange, a nice pair of euro tailights preferably smoked/tinted would look killer on this car.
Interior - To each their own, some might find this tacky some don't but this kind of ties in with the first point, but match the interior with the exterior, maybe a carbon fiber steering wheel with orange flakes? A little orange air freshener to set the tone?
Anyways I'll leave pictures of said things, maybe they'll pick at your curiosity. (P.S the car pics are from a mutual buddy of mine in Cali and his Gen 2 a couple years ago...Orange calipers and Gen 3 Smoked Euros, same color combo just missing the stripes
Plus you go to park and hit your chinny chin chin on the concrete wheel stop. Then go to Insurance lady crying. I call it a chin because I don't know what it's called. Sounds like CRAAACK! And one gets the attention they're starving for.
