That's funny because of all the wheels from Signature, these are my top contender. Exact color and all as I went with Ford Performance Blue

It’s a bad ass design, and pays homage to the OEM wheel. Long before the GT500 wheel was unveiled these were waiting for their time to shine. Cool to see a similar aesthetic

Never to early to start to hear everyones plans to mod.

For me I expect to be 100% satisfied with its performance and looks.

I plan to get it ceramic coated and possibly get the paint corrected depending how many swirl marks I see.


This thread started a couple of weeks ago and has had me thinking about the forums responses. I have been reviewing your ideas for what might make sense for me? I will do two of your ideas for sure:

1. As I am a bit out of touch , I had no clue what ceramic coating is. Well duh! I have now found a recogmended local shop to add to the top of my things to do list.
2. Wheels, I can't do much now as the wheel guys need more information in order to build their new products. I really only want to have a silver colored set of OEM Base model wheels. I asked the parts department at my dealer to please order a set now so I can strip and powder coat them. They could not order yet due to the unavailability of part numbers in the system. I also reached out to a forum member whom may want to sell their original set rather than stack them in their garage.

3.The only other item I would MAYBE , kinda consider is: painting my base spoiler, body color while leaving the Gurney flap black. After watching several youtube how to videos, removing the spoiler to paint it, is a little trouble ,but not too terribly bad. I like keeping factory bits in the shop ,to enable returning a car to factory condition. As such, I would want to buy an additional spoiler. I havent found the part number for the small spoiler yet. The big OEM GT350 spoiler lists for over $11,000 dollars and and I found it for $7000 plus on line. Eowie....Maybe I am naive to think that the smaller spoiler would be a $400-$600 spend. I will have to wait and see if the small spoiler ( SAME ON BOTH GT350 and GT500) is more in line with my wishful thinking. As I certainly don't need to do this, I would not choose to waste thousands of dollars to have a body color matching spoiler.

1. Ceramic coat is, well, good to a point. It adds a little hardness to the soft paint. The best protection is paint protection film or PPF.

2. Don't get another set of OEM wheels. For the price you'd spend on OEM, you can get a set of forged wheels from signature in the finish you want. Get with @50 Deep and see if he will get off his ass and make an OEM replica wheel. You'd be better off

3. Hey, that's on you.

OK, I need to add PPF to the nose /front and to the 1/4 panels in front of wheel openings. Anywhere else?

Whole front end, A pillars, side impact areas, partial roof, and rear view mirrors. (I always do the bumper and full roof). It's costly, but you start getting into all the areas, it's almost the expense of doing the whole car.

3. UPDATE: I am armed with a VIN NO for/ from a 2019 350GT to try and look up a part number and get a price next week.
