[FMC_M1]

Hi all - I just bought a Mach 1 with the driver's side OEM fog light insert missing. Anybody have one or a set for sale? Located in SE MI.

Or...... If you can't score an OEM part, my son's 777 Mach 1 conversion kit (manufactured by the same Chinese source that makes all the similar knock-off kits) reverse-engineered parts from authentic OEM parts. You can purchase the covers from the the knock-off suppliers and they'll fit perfectly but they won't have the OEM texture. My son painted his covers and the semi- gloss finish looks better than the natural OEM finish but all of this is subjective.

Interesting - Any chance you have a link? The only ones I've found are the 777 inserts, which they specifically say won't fit the OEM grill.

The 777 covers fit fine. My son liked my spare two-tone, higher quality OEM grill better than the one-piece 777 grill and the OEM grill was s a perfect fit into the 777 bumper, and just as painful to install as OEM. The attached image shows the green 777 bumper with an OEM grill with 777 fog light covers. The other image is the Chinese manufacturer that actually produces so many of the Mach 1 kits plus numerous other reverse engineered bumper kits. My son's 777 kit was dropped shipped from IkonMotorsports. The Chinese polypropylene bumpers and other components might match OEM fitments they are cheaper imitations as reflected in their pricing.

Should have previewed the message, no idea why there are duplicate images.

Awesome, thanks for the info! I’ll order a set of non-OEM and keep an eye out for OEM if a pair becomes available (I’ll keep this thread going). Thanks!

Not sure how married you are to the stock look but… I replaced the stock inserts with these 3-D printed mesh inserts that you can get in basic colors for your car. Replaced my stock inserts with these when I installed the blower. Found them on eBay. Not sure how much additional cooling they provide, but with a giant intercooler blocking the radiator my cylinder head temps are never above 205, even idling in 90° traffic.

Thanks, yeah I had seen those. I am worried about rain intrusion as the driver's side opening is a straight shot to the paper air filter. Any issues?

No, but my filter's not in the stock location anymore so not sure if it really would be an issue.
