Daisy’s First Photo Shoot

[Redback]

Nice job! Is that a tint film or a cover you have on your headlights?

The headlights are a pre-cut film I bought that my wrap guys installed for me when they did the blue. They look nice enough, but when it comes time to replace them, I'm gonna look into professional paint tint - the film is kinda satin at most, not shiny.

She goes to her first Cars 'n' Coffee event of the year this weekend. Here's a shot of her sporting the new chrome pony badge on her grill (and trunk). That's REAL chrome, mind you - not the ugly stock "chrome" that's just glossy silver paint! The big ol' Mosaic Monk behind her is blessing her for good luck.

Wasn't the pony emblem on the front red at one time?

 

[Clawfford]

Yes, my ponies were red. True chrome is what I had wanted originally. I had bought a replacement pair of badges to do just that.

Access to the front pony requires removal of the grill, so I figured they could install the chromed ponies when they wrapped the vehicle. Unfortunately, it was harder to locate somebody to chrome them than I had anticipated, By time my wrapping appointment rolled around I still hadn't found anyone to do it, so I painted them bright red instead, to match the brake calipers and seatbelts.

- Time passed -

I noticed a manufacturing defect in the wrap on Daisy's hood, still well within warranty. I searched again and this time found a chrome guy down in Texas. They did a bang-up job, and I had them installed on my warranty visit to the wrappers.

Daisy's looking good! I much prefer the chrome pony.

Ah-HA! I found a pic of Daisy with the chrome pony on her rear decklid!

Here she is next to Ol' Red, her 2014 GT brother. Red is a convertible too... he's got a very rare removable hardtop. (My "winter" car, as much as a Mustang can be considered a winter car...).

Nice! I’m taking mine in for a headlight tint on Tuesday. Also ordered these tinted taillight covers, which I am installing today. Really contributes to the “darkness” look I am going for. I love that blue piping, I never knew that product even existed! I ordered a roll of red and I’ll be installing that later today too. I have some black exhaust tips on order which are arriving in the next week or so to cover the chrome tips which I find kind of fugly. I finally ordered a Barton gearshift knob which I’ve been wanting for the last couple of years but I have been hesitant to kiss off $200 for. I have always liked the white cue ball look of the Bullit shifter… so I finally bit the bullit . It’s 1 pound of solid brass, powder coated white. Should smooth out the shifts some.

I dunno if that's your ride in the picture, but it looks like Daisy's coupe sibling (before she got all blue-ified).

Now all you need are some Redback Spider center caps for your wheels! (My stock wheels look kinda like a web!)

Yup! Sibs!

Gorgeous! I wish I had your photography skills. Your black paint looks infinitely deeper than mine. And the red inner door piping should compliment to the exterior pinstripes perfectly.

I hope you're happy with your headlight blackout... your '24 has the chrome lights, which might just peep through a little in the sun. I wish I had the chrome, but they dropped it for my 2025, which helped convince me to do the tint.

I liked the chrome bezels better than the black.

Added some gap trim today.
