What did you do to your Mach 1 today

[IPOGT]

Premium, Elite, manual, jfg, nav, optional wheels, tint

Just priced out my ‘21 $59,960….not selling. Don’t think I’ll ever sell this car.

First oil change right at 3,000 miles on the dot. Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w-30 and a Femco drain plug installed. My Ford Performance air/oil separator had some oil caught in it that filled the bottom but not much past that. Probably a tablespoon or so.

@pilotgore I really hope your oil filter guide and filler funnel will be ready by next year for my next oil change because changing that filter is super messy! I tried using an Amazon box and made a U shape to catch some of it but it still got on all sorts of components. That was the worst part of the oil change. The rest was a breeze.

I actually broke a tab off the OEM Ford plug with a small screwdriver while loosening it so be careful if you plan to re-use that.

We are still very slowly working on a solution to that problem. It would go much faster if I had a local M1 to work with. Sorry everyone…. It’ll be here eventually.

You front end looks high. Did they remove the shipping spacers from the front springs?

I sure did. That was the first thing I did when I got it home.

I put on the front wheel lip moulding’s and my custom license plate last night. Install was pretty straight forward and didn’t have to remove the wheels. Just jacked up the car a little and gave me better access to all the push clips. Needs wider tires now for sure to fill it out, just not sure on what wheels I want to go with. Planning to get my Roush H-pipe on next.

Same plate I have for mine.

Over the weekend I removed the hydrocarbon trap and drove a couple hours in the rain. Had so much fun on the Cup 2's I ordered a set of PS4s as soon as I got back home.

My car spent the whole week in the shop - paint was polished and protected:

1) PPF on full front: hood (excluding stripe), bumper, fenders, mirrors, front pillars + part of the roof,
2) ceramic coat all over the rest of the car.

It looks great - polishing itself brought out the beauty of the FJG paint.

I have also dimmed rear fog/reversing light - I like it much better this way.

There is no rear spoiler on the pics as I am in the process of replacing it with the HP one.

I have also just received a shift knob from White Madness Garage - plan to install it today.

OK - it was pretty easy - knob installed. I must say it makes huge difference. And the quality is really good.

That's a nice looking car matching a nice looking home!

Took some JB Weld and plugged the hole in my Diff. Oil Cooler, and disconnected the pump cable last night. I'll check and make sure the hole looks totally covered when I get home, then put the diffuser tray back on and I can drive it around town until I can get a replacement diff. cooler. The darn things are on back-order until Oct.

If you are wondering what I'm talking about, check my Eowyn delivery thread.

how does the ppf look around the hood decal being hand cut and all? were they able to get it close and straight. hard to tell from any pics.

how does the ppf look around the hood decal

It looks very well. When you are standing just in front of the car it is hard to tell there is any PPF or where it ends. If you look close you can see it was hand cut as it is not exactly the same distance between PPF and decal everywhere but this is like 0.5 millimeter difference. I will try to take pictures in a daylight and check if it can be seen.

To be honest: I was a little bit afraid what would be the result as I was aware this was going to be a hand work, but I am super satisfied with the final effect. The workshop I had it done has very good opinions though.
