I gotta admit, I'm always been a little surprised that Ford would put out what feels like a half-baked bumper on a premium variant of the Mustang. Just seems like "Damn, R&D isn't done yet but we need to get this on the market this quarter otherwise the fiscal year is shot" type thought process.

Remember the Boss 302 2013-2014? This is not a new concept, they looked exactly the same. It's an homage, a hint, real fog lights would look out of place and obsolete there, even more so on S550.

Nick, I'm Starting to agree with you. Nothing is going to look right in those spots.

I would be happy just to have amber lenses--without lights, to glue on.

If I had a 3D printer ...

Sadly, I'm not familiar with this as my Mustang knowledge is limited but I'll defer to your knowledge and your image for context!

To me this looked amazing. Maybe I'm the minority but (shrugs) is what it is lol

Yeah, I like halo lights like this, love them on the Challenger too :)

But classic glass fog lights are too retro. It looked fine on pre-facelift S197 because their main lights were pretty much the same, and the whole generation was more retro, more muscle, while S550 is more sporty, more luxury coupé (to me).

Subtle faux grille inserts work here, but the glass lights would be just weird. I imagine they thought about this for long too and decided to leave it on aftermarket for a reason.

In my opinion, the fake fog light blank plugs are the worst feature of the Mach 1. It makes the car look cheap. (2nd only to the Vinyl stickers) My Mach will be getting the delete treatment. Ford should have painted the Mach 1 hood and rocker details, and either added real fog lights to the grill, or used the Bullitt grill instead.

Vinyl stickers and fake non functional plastic plugs are not what makes the car a Mach 1.

I still hold out on the theory that it was supposed to be a boss 302 instead of the Mach we got. Still looks good either way 👍

It probably works much better with FJG than it would with other colours.
