Air time in the Mach 1

[Hifiguy]

For those thinking the Mach 1 can handle a jump, expect your "Stone Deflector" to be damaged.

My rear must have been 3-4 feet in the air LOL. I was worried the rear shock mounts would be damaged, but they seem fine. Really the undertray was cracked in pieces and the center posts sheared off. I landed front first/nose down, probably why only the front skirt was damaged.

For those who experience something similar, the Mach 1 under/skirt tray or "Stone Deflector" is Part Number MR3Z-17626-A
About $300 at your local stealership

If that was the extent of the damage, that seems cheap

I think there are inserts for at least the front screws to screw into. Did that come with them?
The part number for the insert is W715060-S150B
Thanks for the pics and info.

No screws came with except the one for the oil filter cover hatch. The metal inserts on the front that the screws go through are included yes. The first picture shows exactly what you get.

Haha no, I ran a yellow on a VERY bumpy intersection. Just Midwest problems.

I have two Mustangs a GT and EB. About three months ago I was driving through a residential area in the EB I’ve driven for many years. One thing you have to watch out while driving on your familiar path is change.
A new speed “hump” was installed that I have never seen before it was in the shade of a large tree and I hit it at 35 mph.
I know I got some air time, got home and looked under the spitter and anything else with out lifting it up and couldn’t see any damage.
It was due for routine maintenance and told them what happened and they didn’t see anything and it drives great, impressive.

What year is your car? They should all be the same I would think.
Thanks for the part number, you never know when you might need it. LOL

@Hifiguy - Just check your inner wings …

These are different cars (its just a coincidence they are the same colour) :

One hit a pot hole and the other a mud banking. I don’t think the pothole car had any other visible damage, the mud banking car (at first look) appeared to just have superficial bumper and splitter damage.

Hope yours checks out OK

I am a bit lost, what is the damage I am looking for?

Inner wing is nice and flat, thanks for the tip! Must've been a huge pothole/bank for it to yield like that in the pics.
