Looks clean!

Looks so much better imo, never liked the mascara they put on the dark horse

Not a fan but that’s the best part about cars; do whatever you want if it’s yours.

@Feedme ..... I really like that look. I am considering painting the black fascia on the rear of my 2026 Mustang GT Premium. I had a 2014 Mustang and really liked the way the front and rear were painted .....as was said it's a "clean" Look.

Never liked the "racoon" eyes on the DH. Matching body color looks way better. I like 98% of the DH front end design with one exception that being the area below the headlights. There is something about it (black or body color) that seems "off" to me. I just think the DH desingers could have done a better job on this area.

It's a small detail on DH's and not a deal breaker.

OP, you have a sharp looking DH (leave it as-is).

Looks great!

Not a fan either, love the OE look around the headlights. It is one of my favorite design part of the car.

I love my grabber blue DH with the black headlamp accents. But to each their own, if YOU like it-keep it.
Kinda like the black fenders on the bronco raptor. I love them, but most folks I talk to prefer them body color painted

Definitely looks better than stock. Here is a pick of another users DH thats my inspiration his isnt paint its a wrap but thats how I am aiming to paint my front end nonetheless.

That’s how it should’ve come from the factory, IMO.

Agreed, I just hope my body shop can get it done properly lol.

For my opinion, I think this is a downgrade for dark horse, it looks like a GT

Thank you for the feedback i appreciate it. My thoughts on my car is i have the stripe delete so i wanted to minimize the gray in the front facia so it would still match up with the two tone wing this way the car stays balanced. If i left the front light housing grey the front grill stood out way to much. adding a little body color makes a big difference especially with a lighter color. like a lot of people said wish ford would have done better. still a nice car

A dark horse is literally a trim of gt lol i dont care how bad ford tries to hype it up its a gt with additional handling upgrades and questionable cosmetic changes. Its like comparing a 5.0 f150 tremor to a 5.0 f150 xlt.
