I get where you’re going with that and I think it looks good. I thought about the same thing with painting the one I got in EG bit I like the contrast of the black against the green though.
Yeah, I do like a little bit, hence why I left the gurney flap black :)

Looks like you took inspiration from the earlier Mach 1's but modified a little instead of the entire wing, just the Gurney Flap. Nice.
Actually the whole thing was black. I painted it FJG and left the gurney flap black. The whole thing black was too much...

It’s an oft repeated myth that Mach 1’s come with the Ford Performance toe link bearings, but they do not…
Color me curious…
What’s the benefit over what’s already factory installed?

Replacing a rubber bushing with a spherical bearing. Same benefits as anything that helps tighten up the suspension.

Less deflection and in this case it determines the toe on the rear tires. Any deflection changes rear toe and stability of the rear end.

My 2003 Terminator had rubber bushings everywhere and the ass end would swing back and forth like a tennis match. Replaced them with urethane and OMG what a difference. But getting the LCA rubber out was a freaking nightmare, they were bonded to the LCA.

The amount of soft compliance bushings in these cars just blows my mind.

They’re catering to the 95% that will never take it to track or use it anywhere close to its capabilities. Its softer so that the 95% that just cruise and go to car shows can do just that, comfortably. Plus it keeps the aftermarket companies in business 😉

95.1% But I don’t do car shows…well, maybe. At least not in an old corvette guy way.

Yes. Have them on mine. Just use a safe removable adhesive because they can come off.
But they are great.
Oh, I thought they just used push pins. So you have to glue them on? I was looking at the 10-14 and they just use the two factory push pins to mount.

They push right on and grab the lip of the fender. But, I put some removable adhesive in the channel just to reinforce it. I’ve walked past the car and knocked one off once and that’s how I solved that. They look great and work well.

What adhesive did you use that does not eat the material on the car that it is applied to? exper of how much does it increase decrease or change as far as corrosion? Rocks flying off the tires and hitting the car? Thank you.
