Okay guys i know ive been posting non-stop in this section for the past couple of weeks but i'm just pumped to finally own a mach 1. I'm sure most of you have seen the "post the little touches" thread in the pic and videos section (one of the best threads imo), but i thought it'd be cool to have our own little thread just for mach 1's.

So anyways, everyone post something unique that you've done to your Mach that maybe don't always get noticed. Something that you know is different from the normal mods you see on every other mustang.

I'll post some pics once i get a chance to clean my car up. :thumbsup:

Car is looking good man!!!

Thanks alot! i did about an 8-hour polish on it yesterday and painted those things in the picture. I need to polish the wheels, paint the calipers black, and probably paint the wheel hubs black too. But i'll snap a few pics and post em up soon

Those little touches on the blower look nice! I'll check it out man. How do you like the DD Chrome MACH wheels? I want the MAC black DD's.

Black painted calipers. I absolutely love how they look on the car, but I doubt anyone else will ever notice it besides me and who I point it out to.

Looks great, i'll be painting mine black soon probably when i take my wheels off to polish them. I did it on my last mustang and you're right no one notices but it definatly makes me happier when i look at my car

DSG - I did mine black as well but did put DSG running pony stickers on them...I think from bobwhite decals or something like that and theyve held up great

smoked clear corner lights and smoked clear fogs clean up the front a lot

I think my favorite thing is the stock finish DD Mach1 wheels

Nice! handpainted the shaker im guessing? and i noticed the 01 cobra front bumper and the 281 stripes first thing, wish the previous owner had done that instead of the DOHC decals i have on my hood ^

Just a couple of small things like polished alternator, chrome electric water pump pulley, and one that rarely gets noticed, the polished upper intake manifold.

I also replaced the rear tail lights with the 99/01 Cobra and the Ford emblem on the trunk illuminates (like indiglo blue) when I turn on the head lights. Sorry no picture of the emblem lit up.


I also polished my Kenny Brown Extreme Matrix SFC's as well as the aluminum driveshaft. No one knows it is done, but I do and that is all I need to know.

I also wired my line line lock activation to the cruise control off switch. Most people never know it is there. Same with the addition of the GT500 rearview mirror with the autodim.

Yep handpainted. Was pretty easy just don't let it sit in the sun for a few hours before you paint it lol shit gets hot. I love the bumper with the stripes kinda adds a little something. Oh I don't have any pics at the moment but I have the run pony in my trunk. I may go get some pics of it. No one notices because I barely remember it's there lol


Btw I love the idea of the flat black supports on the bumper
