A stunning setup. Why oh why won't Ford put out designs that nice for Joe Public. I know they can do it!HRE FF21's in Custom Satin White Gold Finish
Thank you for the feedback, brother, but I'm going to keep the original rims. They cost $1000 more than the original wheels, and are 19-inch instead of 18-inch. Just wanted some opinions on whether to powder coat rims black, gold, or keep silver as is.
Hey brother Terminus! Thank you for the detailed explanation. I appreciate your time.Personally I think your silver wheels look great with the standard silver badges. That style emulates the original pony car wheels. I wouldn't change a thing!
I had the luxury of special ordering my car because I insist on the 6-speed manual which Ford is not sending to our local dealer stock. I went thru the Ford car build wizard countless times. My favorite is the 19" black painted aluminum forked wheels that come with the GT Nite Pony package. I like some of the body colors but really dislike a contrasting blacked out roof--maybe because it looks Tesla. I like a blacked out hood like you can get with the Dark Horse (DH). I only wanted a cruiser not something with a stiffer suspension suitable for track use i.e. Performance Pack (PP) or DH. It didn't take much imagination to go all black but I kept coming back to it. I'll be damned if I'm going to spend more $ to have a body shop paint the roof the body color or any other mods e.g. rims after forking out $55k for the car.
Some cats don't like the silver lug nuts, but I think they & the little silver pony in the center are a good transition to the grayish silver stock brakes & silver rotors. I'm not doing any mods to my mustang. I love it the way Ford delivered it. It's not a DH. It's a "Shadow Pony"!
! I was about to powder coat my rims black a couple of weeks ago, and last second I asked if the lugs could be black to match the rims, but the guy was like No, you have to get your own lugs. So, I've just decided to keep everything stocked on my car until I'm 100% used to it. I haven't reached 1000 miles yet...
Do you like a gold/bronze that dark, i.e., satin bronze?
The Nite Pony package (black out) that I ordered blacks out the badges-pony on grill, 5.0 on sides, GT on back-, inside the headlight bezels & comes with the 19" black painted aluminum wheels.Hey brother Terminus! Thank you for the detailed explanation. I appreciate your time.
I'm just curious, you are telling me to keep my rims as is, but you made your rims black... why do you make this suggestion?
Also, I feel you on the silver nug nuts
Btw, when did you get your first oil check? I believe the Ford app notifies you, but I just wanted to hear some feedback. My old car was a Subaru wrx, and I did my first oil change at 3000 miles, and 6000 miles after that.
That's lurvely. Very tasteful.HRE FF21's in Custom Satin White Gold Finish
Shit goes hard! Can't lie...
Damn, the gold is beautiful, but the last picture with silver rims made me realize that my setup is not so bad after all!Cant go wrong with bronze or brushed raw !
Oh, I see, so you ordered your car online and waited a couple of months to get it. I also wanted to do that, but I needed a new car asap. I just walked in and picked this guy. $1400 for just blacking out the silver stuff? Yikes lol! How much is your car if you don't mind me asking? I believe mine came out to 54,000.
I was referring to the $1,395 I paid for the GT blackout package.
I see youI was referring to the $1,395 I paid for the GT blackout package.
My car was $55k out-the-door. I think in today's market worth every penney.
I'm about to do the 1st oil change at 1k miles. If I continue only putting 1k miles a season probably change oil 6 months or 500 miles whichever comes 1st as they say.
They are great pony cars. And can't beat the twin throttle body 5.0 Coyote engine.
