Dropped the rear cover and did an inspection for leaks etc. (1500 miles).
Looks like it does its jobs right - helping the road servis keeping the roads nice and clean. Your Mach 1 rear diffuser also known as air-rock separator.

I get more and more angry the closer I look at my car. Dropped it off at ford for the headlight alignment issue and saw paint chipped off and a corner peeling up in the same area, there's no way a rock or anything could squeeze in there and 100% had to be caused by the ppf shop

I've just about hit my limit. I took my car in to the dealership to have them fix the headlight alignment, their tech claimed it because the bolts are tight blah blah blah it didnt move and he couldnt adjust it. I call bullshit on that for one since we have another member here directly saying and posting pictures of what can be adjusted, but beyond that the guy on the phone said there is obvious impact damage on the bottom of the car in that area that he says probably caused the issue. So of course im already mad, because its just been issue after issue with this purchase so far, so i say whatever dont do anything then and let me se

Did you buy that car from Laura Ford?

Ok, just checking I was inquiring about a GB M1 that had been damaged during shipping and it was on hold. Sorry you are having such bad luck.

This isn't one on hold, this is one I bought and had delivered to me. The dealer fixed damage to the rear valance and muffler, and claimed that was all there was. But the headlight being out of alignment on delivery tells me this damage was probably there too I just didn't notice. But it's been about a month since I got it, and having not noticed it before, I'm screwed. I'll have to pay myself, and there's a chance the shop will report it as damage to the car and even possibly the frame which absolutely kills the value of the car. And I 100% know nothing has happened since I got it. But the dealer will claim it wasn't there and do nothing

What I was saying was the car I was looking at was being held by the dealer due to it being damaged during shipping. I thought if that was the car you bought, the dealer should be held liable. That is the reason I had my dealer FaceTime me with the car on the lift before I bought it.
It might be worth a call to the dealer. I hope you get it repaired with no cost to you.

Added some more orange accent. Curious though for those that have named their car: ever thought about putting said name under the Mach1 logo or next to the number plate on the dash? Thoughts?

Looks great. Do you have a pic further away? Where gig you get them?

added GT350 shift knob (nostalgic to the 350 I traded for this), added the GT350 dash gauges (swapped bezel trim with the original Mach 1 gauges to match trim), windows tinted and corsa extreme installed

on the fence about the corsa extreme. liked the stock exhaust but way too muzzled and muted. not a fan of chopping up the oem to do a simple H pipe swap and delete the resonators cause OCD and I like having the option to revert everything back to factory. might try swapping for the corsa touring next summer to see if that gets the sound to what I’m looking for

It seems this type of misalignment is more common then one might think. I was told by an authorized tech that it was in tolerance on mine and I know others who have the same issue.

the guy on the phone said there is obvious impact damage on the bottom of the car in that area that he says probably caused the issue. So of course im already mad, because its just been issue after issue with this purchase so far, so i say whatever dont do anything then and let me se

What exactly are we looking at? Is it a interface between the front splitter (the lower left part of the picture) and the engine bay deflector? Then it is interesting that the trajectory of the impact seems to be pointing in a strange angle and even almost in reverse.

Anyway, this seems like a "cosmetic" damage to me. If this is supposed to change the light alignment, then something else is wrong.
