Why did Ford put folding mirrors on this?

[SilverNotch]

No, only if it was a 2004 40th edition.

Because Ford didn't have a folding mirror till 2003?

96 export cobras did.

I would say they had an excess supply and being it was the last run of the sn body style they threw them on a 'special edition' v6.

not all 40th anniversary mustangs had folding mirrors. my v6 didn't.

 

[SilverNotch]

It's only on two color 40th mustangs they had gold stripes. They are maroon and black.

not all 40th anniversary mustangs had folding mirrors. my v6 didn't.

I think all v6-GT mustangs got the 40th anniversary badging. But you had to order that package to get the mirrors, wing delete, gold colored Bullitt wheels, etc etc.

Exactly

 

[SilverNotch]

Now there's somebody at my work who has a 40th Ann v6 with folding mirrors.

 

[SilverNotch]

How much would it cost to have the mirrors painted to match my car?

I think about $150-$200

 

[SilverNotch]

So if I find a set I should try to trade for another set in yn silver?

 

[Darkc0bra]

Would make things a bit cheaper

 

[SilverNotch]

Yeah in going to have to do that.

 

[BreBar21]

You should be about to paint them for less than that. It was a long time ago, but I think I had mine done for like $80-100 and that included fixing a scratch and painting the bases in addition to the housing.

 

[SilverNotch]

Ok I'll shop around I wish I had buddies in auto body.

 

[BreBar21]

Just ask car people you know or look around on local forums. That's how I've found every painter I've ever used. It's always cheaper than just walking in a shop and asking how much to paint something.

So after months of searching craigslist for wrecked 2004 mustang v6 40th anniversary models. I finally found a set of folding mirrors. I picked them up for 150.00 from a local yard. I'd like to think that I stole them. Its hard to find cobra parts that aren't sold at a cobra prices. Now if I can get them painted silver yn for 50.00 or less I'll still be making out. Or maybe I'll find someone with a wrecked silver cobra and trade to save the hassle of body shops.

I think you should just send me those so I can put them on my cobra ;-)

They are oxford white lol. Don't be jealous just look for wrecked 2004 40th anniversary mustang. I found two last year and the first set they didn't want to sell separate from the maroon v6. It is tempting to turn around and sell them for a full return of 300+ on eBay. I put so much time in trying to find a cheap set that I couldn't do it.

 

[BreBar21]

Awesome find, but it's highly unlikely you'll be able to get them painted for $50. It'll likely be closer to twice that, but it's worth every penny. One of my favorite appearance mods I've done.

 

[SilverNotch]

I got a buddy I just met that knows a auto body guy at ford that said 50.00 so I'll see when I'm ready.
