New to site just picked up a 2025 dark horse with H/P. painted portion under headlight looking for feed back

[bountifulgoose]

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

I was never a fan of the grey, I have been getting rid of all of it. Once I finish getting the bumper paint matched, im thinking of adding a racing stripe similar to the supers snake

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.

DH 5.0 runs a slightly different tune than GT and is a modified engine with some forged internals to better handle high band RPMs. But the primary reason to get it, is the Tremec Manual gearbox. If you wanted the A10, I agree most folks may not notice much of a difference. However I have driven both a GT A10 and the DH manual (without HP) and I can say the cars do feel and sound different aside from the obvious manual trans. So while I get what you are saying. My reason I went with a 700A was the Tremec, and the blue interior. When paired with the prime blue seat belts and Grabber Blue paint it just pops, my word I love it. Also I love the dark horse trim logo. I did not get the handling pack nor recaros because I will not be tracking my car, its just a street car and the street ride is way better on the base tires after driving both I ordered mine without it. The GT with PP is a very capable and awesome car with its own fun color combos and if getting the A10, I can see why diminishing returns for the higher price.

Im aware lol, I am one of the few people that actually owned a s650 gt and a s650 DH at the same time. Also the rods are forged sure, the pistons are not, which is fine because they hold 800+ hp and still give oem longevity. A good comparison to the gt and dark horse is the wrx and the sti. Im glad you skipped the recaros, i just went on a 4 hour drive the other day and my back is still killing me lol.

I really like the look of the recaro’s and if I had planned to ever track the car I would have got those and the HP. But still lame that the trade-off is heating, vented plus memory settings. Camero had all that for years on slightly lower price points so I don’t get it. I am surprised how much I like the DH interior, its much better in person than videos make it out and the seats are very comfy. Honestly my only real complaint with the car is a general S650 complaint that all the climate controls are digital and it takes twice as many clicks to do anything and there is no button for Carplay, so I end up having to hit Home, then carplay. So two clicks when all of that in my bronco is 1 quick press and the bronco also has a two screen Sync4 setup but retains all the physical buttons. I am not sure if it can be customized, will play around with it today. Hopefully I’ll be able to take some extended driving time today and get to know it better.

I may be alone on this, but I like how the grey front looks.

And by the way, I agree on the recaros topic, it's a nonsense paying more and getting less.

 

[NewGuard]

Looks waaaaay better. Those raccoon eyes look especially bad on white I think. Good work.

I was looking at doing something to front as well. Going to see what wrapping bottom of racoon with white from the v in the grill over to the fender at about the same angle as headlight.

Actually the GT is just a trim level of a Mustang your basically an eco boost. With little up grades.

I thought of doing the head light housing right up to the snorkels all white and then you would be left with just a front grill. don't get me wrong i think the grey looks good on dark colors and on light colors if you have the graphic on the hood it looks great but i have the graphic delete so i just wanted to cut down on the amount of grey

I'm looking at going white from bumper up to V in grill. So about half of what you did. Going to do a simulation to see how it looks first. And i do have graphics on hood and added similar graphics to roof.

just a FYI i don't know if your going to paint or wrap but i found out i could not match the paint with vinyl. i pulled the front bumper apart to have it painted.

Guess what everyone, we all pretty much have GTD’s!!

I have never understood "trim" debates on performance cars. Lol. Get what you like and can afford and use they way you want. IMO these cars aren't practical no matter how you try and justify it. That Tremec though, whew. I love that transmission.
