MACH 1 BUMPER CONVERSION

[ODIE38]

Currently in the process of doing the Mach 1 conversion front bumper on my 2016 Mustang gt. Can anyone tell me the circled pieces in picture for onto bumper and belly pan ?

I'm in the same boat. Did you figure it out?

If it’s made to fit PP cars, the belly pans are different. Using a kit that is for a PP car would leave gaps between the belly pans and bumper. Those pieces fill those gaps.

My kit is for non-PP cars so it didn’t come with those pieces

I looked under my Mach 1 and I don't see that piece. It looks like the lip is attached to my belly pan. Maybe another Mach 1 owner can weigh in.

These conversion kits are typically made for PP GT/Eco cars, which have a different belly ban than the non-PP cars. Some kits, if you don’t have the PP belly pan, will leave gaps where the belly pan attaches to the bumper/chin spoiler. Those pieces fill those gaps. The kit the OP attached is not an OEM bumper (no pony in the grille is the first sign it’s not OEM), so they send those extra pieces.

A Mach from factory wouldn’t have that issue because the belly pan was made to fit the bumper.

All good, just pointing out the difference between an OEM and aftermarket kit.

I’ve also seen those extra pieces for non-PP cars that want to put on an aftermarket chin spoiler that is made for PP cars. It’s fairly common and shouldn’t affect anything. Just a few extra pieces to bolt on.

My bumper is aftermarket and a non PP car.

I would test fit everything first, but my assumption is you will need those pieces to bridge some gaps between where the pan and bumper/chin spoiler connect. Won’t be noticeable at all unless someone lays on the ground and looks under your car

My son installed a 777 Conversion on his 2022 GT PP1 and we had to switch to the base GT fender liners and undertray for proper fitment. Also, even though the 777 grill inserts and splitters interchange with authentic Mach 1 pieces, the construction and quality don't match OEM especially where the corners of the splitter attach to the bumper and the bumper-to-fender joint. (Maybe the 2015-17 fender joint is a better execution than the 2018-2023?)
