More exterior mods! Painted roof, spoiler, mirrors

[The Ghost]

Hey all! Long time no post. I wanted to share some updates on the Ghost! Little by little I’ve been making it mine over the past couple years. Last year, I added Nite Pony fender and rear badging. A couple months later I had a local shop paint the mirror caps and spoiler black. Then this past summer, I had them paint the roof black. I also swapped the front pony badge for the Dark Horse badge, courtesy of forum member @Cobrakit. (I love it because it doesn’t disappear into the grille like the Nite Pony badge, yet still looks stealthy.)

Currently, I’m very happy with these exterior mods. Next, I’m thinking of having the wheels powder coated into a dark grey, similar to the Dark Horse non-handling pack wheels.

After two years of ownership, the car is still a beast! Definitely unique in my area and gets plenty of attention. (Partly because it’s female-driven, haha.)

Love my Ghost!

Looks really nice! How much did painting the mirrors and roof cost you?

Looks great! Nice wheels!

Is the rear emblem easy to replace? On my S550 I changed out the fender emblems but ended up swapping out the entire decklid panel.

Thanks! Mirrors and spoiler were $750, and roof was another $750 when I did it a year later.

Fairly simple. I let the sun hit that area until the old adhesive warmed up, then used fishing line to cut through it. Elbow grease and some alcohol to remove the old adhesive, then slap on the new one.

nice touches. Good taste. I think I’m in love. And, the car’s nice too.

Very classy OEM+ touches

OK thanks. I've used that method before. Are there guide holes under there like with the fender emblems?

I was ready to flame you for not just getting it from the factory, but this is the same price! Well done (although NP comes with dark headlights and was only $995 in 2024)
That said, no point in wasting money on changing the color of stock wheels. Get some new ones the stocks are objectively trash (heavy)

Black roof over white looks really good.

Beautiful car! I really like what you've done. Glenn, (p.s. Is that your catamaran behind you?)

Another option is to have roof wrapped instead of painting. Same for trunk between taillights lights. Both cheaper than other alternative.

Car looks great!
What is the white thing on the window?
Please tell me that isn't bird shit.

Yes, but they’re kind of oversized, so you need to be careful before placing the emblem.

In hindsight, I should have gotten the Nite Pony from the factory. It was basically the only option I didn’t choose. But at the time I was interested in an all-white car

Which window? Quarter windows have TCB decals.

Nice! I'm a fan of white and your wheel selection from Ford is my favorite in the lineup.
