Post Your Mach 1 Pictures

[Rev68]

Very well done, both the car and the photos. She looks great.

Thank you. I can't take credit for taking the photos unfortunately. Then again, it's pretty hard for the Mach 1 to not look great.

EG in the Sun looks fantastic. I like how everything reflects the way it does.

Ford has had some great colors this year. Something for everyone I think.

Went for a drive this morning. Still getting the whole phone camera thing down.

Love the car; she's a fantastic drive. Just feels and sounds right all the way around.

What is your tire and wheel set up?

3 degrees of negative camber front and 2 rear really tucks the tires in and makes them look tiny. Can’t wait for the tires to get here for my 19x11’s. Also here’s a pic of what the hood stripe looks like with gloss xpel.

Those are a set of SVE 357s, 19x10, square. 285/35/19 A/S Michelins.

The factory rim/tire combination is great, but they are for the track. I needed something a bit more practical for the street, especially in cooler temps in the Fall and early Spring. The second set also helps me preserve the original rims as best possible.

From the decals and striping, I consider the secondary car color to be black. I've already got dark titanium/graphite from the factory rims, so a black rim it was.

Regarding appearance and style, I often like upgrades and changes which compliment a car, that look like they could have come with the car. Subtle differences that can catch a persons' eye or make them look twice and think about it.

Washed the car a few times. They are not that difficult to keep clean. Will probably ceramic coat them in the future.

LMR and Steeda have several great choices in the flow-formed class, all pricing pretty close to one another.

Received these this week, only three days after placing the order.

Two large boxes arrived, each with two, individually-boxed rims. Wheels are well-protected by slip covers and bags.

These are 19x10s, +35 offset, 23 lbs each. I'll be ordering a set of 285/35/19 Michelin A/S 3+ this week. As the Ford rim is dark aluminum or graphite, went with something different. Hoping to compliment the black striping and GBM paint.

Thanks to all for previous posts on this topic; you helped me with sizing, fitment and tire selection.

One of the biggest problems any of us have on this subject is selecting just one set or type. I could have easily gone with one other rim from LMR or two from Steeda, Velgen even more still. These were the lightest in the type and pricing for my budget, so I went with them.

It's been a bit. I picked up the car yesterday. After installing the jacking rails I installed some SVE 357s. Pics below. Came out well I think. 19x10s, +35 all-around. Michelin 285/35/19 4 A/S. No poke. No drama. The set of four included Gorilla Nutz. I also used Ford TPMS sensors, which I have found should be self-learning.

The factory wheels and tires are good and all, for the track. I could hear rocks pinging the car almost all the way home. This setup above gives me year-round driving without issues. Some like to go wider still, but I'm plenty happy. These come right out to the lip, but have a nice gap and space. Also got a little more height.

Simple. I like simple.

Off to get PPF and ceramic!!! Little rain ain't hurt nobody!

Just got it back from having the bumper and mirrors PPF, 7 year ceramic, and ceramic tint.

Went to a car meet Sunday and this Mach 1 looked and sounded outstanding! Couldn’t resist taking a few pictures.

This car is right!

Wow, those are some really long studs in the strut tower mount! Also, what did you use over the strut top hole (black circle) as the finishing piece?

I thought the same, evidently Steeda sells spacers to mount underneath for those that want taller ride height-that's why the studs are so tall on their plates. I measured before I shut the hood. The grommet was mentioned here by a few others. It's from "rubberfeetwarehouse" online and is a 2-1/2" ID rubber grommet, 1/16" groove width, fits 2-3/4" hole. I glued it in with clear RTV.

Note: the the strut tower openings were enlarged with the Steeda 2-3/4" hole saw kit for more negative camber.

This car is right!

Love the blacked out tail lights, wish they were legal here.

Thanks so much for the info on the rubber grommet! Looks like a nice finishing piece after the strut tower is opened up.

This is dark matter correct? Looks awesome.
Ford has always had those sneaky colors that look black unless the sun is hitting them. I had a dark side Ford Fusion that looked black most of the time but was actually green.
