Beautiful car! You had me wondering there for a minute lol.

Black Ford Performance PP2 wheels and tires installed. Fronts are 19 x 10.5, +24, with 305/30-19 PS4S. Rears are 19 x 11, +48 with 315/30-19's. Front assembly 62 lbs, rear 63 lbs. They are actually a couple lbs lighter than the base 5-spoke wheels with smaller tires. Really hard to get good pics of black wheels with crappy garage lighting but the forecast says no sun for the next 10 days, typical Pittsburgh weather. Very happy with them, like them much better than the stock handling package wheels. Fender gap looks huge, like there's plenty of room to lower the car if I wanted (I don't), but if you feel behind the wheel there's not a lot of room.

Looking good. Kinda makes the wheels get lost in the blackness but you probably wanted that look, all black wheels do it. Are you planning to replace the lug nuts with black ones too?

Good pics of the poke, I'll do the same photos with 285 front 295 rear in the spring and see how much it differs from 305/315, hopefully few mm less

Awesome. I've been waiting to see this set up. Hopefully you're happy with it. Looks badass. I'm sure it drives almost exactly like the factory wheels. Some outdoor photos with good lighting would be nice to see. Nice car.

Installed Redline hood struts today, wow, they are better than I expected. Holds the hood up with no worries of drooping, and very easy to close. Only installation issue was that the hole location in the battery cover was a little too far to the outside, I just drilled a second hole to make a slot and it worked perfectly. Took about 90 minutes. Even my son, who is not a car guy, commented on how nice they look. Personalized license plate is installed, window sticker is framed, ready for spring car shows!

Love the Silver! What don't you like about the HP wheels just the styling? I really like them, except for the weight.

I've been looking at the APEX Mustang EC-7 wheels that Steeda carries in Matte Bronze to go with my Eruption Green HP on order.

Yeah the HP wheel color isn’t a big enough contrast for me with the silver car, and I’m not crazy about the asymmetric inner Y spokes.

Mine will probably end up in the attic, or I might powder coat them bronze.

Fog lights for the holes in the grill. Just waiting to see who comes out with what. Would be nice if Ford had some sort of wiring harness already set up for that but I would doubt it.

I am waiting for that too. I would like to find something like this...

The Ford Performance hood struts look great, simple instalation, putting them on my to-do list too.

They are great. Already installed them.

I ordered a Mach 1 in Velocity Blue, 6 speeds and many other options, but not the HP. So, what do I want to change? I think I would like to swap out the Spoiler for something like the Mustang GT Spoiler. But, want one that will fit without having to drill. Does anyone have a suggestion or two? Thanks.

you can get the handling pack spoiler.

I was thinking about this. Just got the car in Dec and because of winter minimal driving so I am going to think about it. Need to do more walk away back glances to decide. ;)

You can get cheap halo lights in all sorts of sizes. I’ll probably play with it when i get mine. I think a 3d printed back plug replacement where only the leds show would be ideal.

I called STEEDA to confirm (my OCD requires) and the gent I spoke to said that they don't have a Mach 1 to try the strut on and that so he cannot guarantee it as there are subtle differences between the hoods in general. Anyone actually have the Mach 1 and put on the redline struts?

This person put the redline on their mach 1. He has a video on it. But you can see in this one about the catch can he has the redline struts on:

So far I have done the ford performance hood struts and the ford performance oil separator. I used the Weather techs from my 2017 and the Ford accessories Trunk matt from my 2017. Got the factory cover with the car. Also I bought the BMR jack rails but have not installed them yet.

In my S2000 project car I bought TUX mats. I am OCD about the carpet. Kids put their feet everywhere. I like the TUX better than the Weather Tech. They are softer and conform to the space better.
