What did you do to your Mach 1 today

[willymo72]

These are Ford's. They come as options on the 2021 Mach1. My M1 came with the stock 5-spoke wheels, but I loved these so much, and I couldn't help it but order them. Also they seem to be better for the summer as they seem kind of more 'open'.

Stock goes for the winter...

Summer going to look like this

Do you notice any weight savings with your summer setup aka optional 19" wheels?

Honestly, I've been trying to find it out for some time now. Unfortunately, 1 have no clue what the weight of the "winter" wheels is, and the weight of the "summer" ones seems to be available 'including packaging'.

I will weigh them up on Saturday when installing and will give you the numbers, but my best guess is that they are kind of equal weight.

got alignment before the 12 months expired.

do new cars get a free alignment check? does it have to be with the original dealer?

Yesterday I weighted the 'summer' ones and both front and back weight the same - 13.85KG / 30.5Lbs each.

According to this thread https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/mach1-handling-package-wheels-weight.161934/post-3296876 - the NEST wheels (Mach 1 Perfomance Pack) weight is 14.4 kg (31.7 lbs) .

If this is true, bearing in mind the PP wheels are an inch wider, my new wheels should be of the same compound, and I should expect a weight reduction compared to the stock ones as close as 2 pounds per wheel, as the NEST wheels are marketed as "Inch wither but two pounds lighter than stock". Re-confirming tomorrow

Ford does first 12 month or 12K miles. Just tell them it wanders a little and they put it on machine. Any dealer, it factory warranty. Mine had the left front toe out. I wish they would have been a little more attentive to some detail but it was free. I was hoping someone on here that knows alignments well would comment.
It right on the ford pass app too if you look under warranty . In case they give you any BS.

just ordered the ZL1 side skirt extensions with the rock guards... getting a good number of stone chips on the rear panels from the front tires

based on others who have done this setup, should be pretty sweet looking once finished

One of the best mods I have done so far.

I'm not looking forward to the install tho... seems like it'll take a good bit of time and a lot of attention to detail to get it done right

were your wheel lips already installed? trying to find good replacement 3m tape for reapplying...any suggestions?

Yes, my wheel lips were installed. I ordered extra 3M tape from Amazon, attached, are some pictures for reference. Excuse the dirt, this was after being caught in a rain storm.

you're the man! the only other post I had seen, they installed the wheel lips lining the edge of the rock guard and not flush to the car

I was thinking I was going to have to peel off the wheel lips, but your approach is the way I'm going to go. still looks clean and great... that's a relief lol thanks!!

Thanks, Im sure I did it the wrong way and I did try it the other way first, but my wheel moldings were stressed with the angle. At the end of the day, the side of my car is mostly protected.

You will notice, small gravel and dirt will sit on top of the rock guards, but its easy to clean. I also used the screws to install the rock guards versus the rivets. I sat them on my floor jack to position and hold them until I could get some screws in.

Just ordered the goodies. Do you have the link for the tape you used? The link from the thread from earlier this year regarding this topic is dead. Would you keep the same thickness and width if you were to do the job over again?

These rock guards. Are they mainly for the Handling Pack cars ?

I used this tape, and it worked out well.

I think they will work for any Mustang.
