2015-present EcoBoost (Base, Premium, or PP): Chrome pony with no tribar or faux gascap on a flat, gloss black panel (2015-17); panel will have additional character lines flanking the emblem on 2018-present. Note: Models exported outside of North America have this emblem on a black and chrome...
Hmm. First time I've seen the shaker on any S550. I've been admittedly curious as to how it'd look, but have been skeptical as to whether or not it'd look right. Can't say it does, at least on the refresh. It might look a bit better on a 15-17, but I think a ram air retro shaker contrasts too...
Interesting. I had no idea about the taper. Looks like you made it work because I certainly can't tell.
I'm not sure the rear sections are really necessary. You'd have to trim around the side marker and decide how to terminate them, which could get more complicated. It could look cool if pulled...
Wow, that 69 Mach 1 stripe actually looks good in that location. Hope you don't mind if I steal that idea for myself. I was originally going to make my car a 67 Shelby tribute, but realized the S550 GT doesn't lend itself as well to that particular style. I've since swung to making it a 69 Boss...
It's kind of ridiculous that Ford didn't mirror image the center console like they did for other RHD components. All the more absurd in that this was the first Mustang specifically designed for a global market, and somehow nobody sat in a RHD prototype with cups and said "wait a minute...".
Oh man, that is clean! Had no idea this kind of product existed, but now that I know it does I need it. I rarely have drinks in my car, so this fits my style really well.
If history does indeed rhyme, when Ford did the first Bullitt in 2001, they followed it up with both the Terminator Cobra and the Mach 1 in order to maintain interest in the outgoing SN-95/New Edge before the S197 debuted, so there is precedent. Mach 1 might be the perfect special edition to...
My heart wants to say Mach 1, but Ford has been pretty generic with their names lately. The "High Performance Package" for the EcoBoost isn't very inspiring, even though it kind of taps into the K-Code heritage.
They'll probably name this "Performance Package Level 3" or something.
I'm really on the fence about these. Right now, I have a new OEM bumper all painted and ready to install once I have the time to get it done. My car was hit during a rare moment it was parked on the street as I got my winter beater out of storage. I was weighing getting the Steeda front bumper...

Closest you're going to get as far as what's available on the market right now. Not a bad kit...
I specifically sought out a base GT because I hate leather seats, but I don't like the radically high bolsters of the cloth Recaros. I've sat in the factory leather seats, and the bolsters do seem softer and not as high as the cloth seats I have. I love the old school pleating pattern of the...
I personally think the 15-17 has more of that 1969 look. Aside from the upward swoop of the headlights on the outward corners, the rest of the fascia has a cleaner look, and the lower portion has that shape of the '69's lower grill versus whatever is going on with the '18+. To me, the 15-17...
I bought my '17 GT after the '18 was revealed. It was the final deciding factor to get me to the dealership. I just didn't care for the '18, but the 2015-17 front end, while not my favorite Mustang front end, had grown on me and was far cleaner and more "retro". Couple that with all of the new...
I don't have them, but I have been in contact with US Speedo about a custom set of gauges based on that design. I haven't committed to anything yet, but it's on my bucket list.
From my conversation with them, they're good people to work with.
I'm very happy with my 17 GT base, but there's always room for improvement.
I'm the kind of weirdo that will call up Shelby for the GTE package with a supercharger at some point, just to have something a little different. I know there's better packages for the money, like from Roush, or I could...
Unfortunately, I cannot help you with the technical expertise, but can I suggest perhaps looking into the integrated switchback DRLs to serve as your marker lights instead, and perhaps find a way to delete the marker light entirely? I don't know if that's legal in your area, however.
I know...
I actually like it. With the black stripes and the GT500's black accents it pops nicely. Not at the top of my list of must have colors, but it's a welcome change of pace from the typical blacks, silvers, and whites that dominate the streets.
