When shopping for any of the Shelby or Mach 1 bumper conversions offered by numerous sources, realize there is only one Chinese source making them for the vast majority of end retailers. 777 gets good reviews and has great customer support so my son ordered their Mach 1 bumper conversion for his 2022 GT. (His original bumper was knocked out by a large chunk of road debris and he didn't want to deal with an insurance claim.) Truck shipping was fast and damage-free but it was processed and drop shipped by Ikon Motorsports. The actual manufacturer is AMPP and, while not the same quality level of OEM and the corresponding ridiculous prices, it's amazing how well the reverse engineered knockoff hardware matches OEM. I had a spare OEM Mach 1 grill that perfectly matched all tab locations on the conversion bumper and it snapped in place. (My thumbs will eventually recover) The knockoff fog light covers are also a match with the OEM covers that are not offered by Ford without ordering the complete grill assembly. (777 and others also offer functional fog lights incorporated into the covers.) So...... if you're shopping for any of the various bumper conversions or other knockoff parts and conversions, do your homework and realize the retailers are all getting their components from the same manufacturing source.
