Hey Guys, I borrowed a pic from one of my GO cousins Peelthis (Thanks Dave) and I photoshopped what I am considering for my "Mach 1 Tribute". BTW, I am aware that this is not exactly in the "Mach 1" spirit. My take on this is what Ford WOULD have designed if they did a Mach 1 in 2006, loosely following the '69-'73 models. If you are a "tribute" basher, don't waste my time, just move along...
I know this is off the beaten path for a Mach but think it would look cool and really make my car stand out in the crowd (like a yellow Mustang doesn't already
).
My idea was to use a GT/CS Facsia (that I have been considering since I first saw them) and now to integrate the new Bullitt Grill with it. I plan to replace the upper driving lights with a smaller version of similar, but smaller lights, moved and remounted in lower opening, and use a 03-04 rear Mach 1 trunk logo for the grill. I know that normally a nice front spoiler would look more true but I live on a gravel road (yuck!) and I feel that it would not last long after being a snow plow and angled drives I encounter daily.
Here is a rough photoshop of what it might look like.
What do you think???

I thnk it looks great, but you're the only one that has to be pleased. I love the yellow/black color combo. For a bit more money, Cervinis sure did nail the '69 Mach/Boss look with their B2 kit, and they've got parts for the front and rear to complete the look. I've seen it in person and it nearly made me remodel my car. Lack of funds made the choice easier.

First of all, your car looks pretty **** slick as it is. I have to be honest, when I read you description I wasn't sure if it was going to work or not. When I saw the photoshop though, it looks pretty **** good man. Overall, I am not a big fan of the Bullitt grill or the Agent 47 mirrors (No offense to those who have them, they are just not for me), but they work really well together on your idea. I like the driving lights down there too. Would you get the SHR lower grill pieces to fill in between the lights?
In the end you're the one that has to be happy with it, but if you do go forward with this idea, I'd love to see more pictures of it.
Good luck, and keep up posted.

I like the look. I'm not a "this is not a Mach" type guy, so the badging isn't an issue with me. Most people won't know (outside of Mustang owners) and those that do know also know that there was no Mach in 2006, so they should cut you some slack.
I say go for it. It's fresh and innovative and if you like it, it's perfect.

As to using SHR grill inserts, that will not be possible per Marcello. He stated in a post that there is just not enough potential customers to modify the mold for the GT/CS front end. I'm cool with that though as I think that the lights will be enough to keep it from looking empty. I do plan to paint the chrome strip on the Bullitt grill matte so it blends better.
I agree that having it look the way I want it to is priority, but I also appreciate all my fellow Mustang brothers who also have an eye for the unique or if they don't like it, that's cool too. I AM NOT going for the classic, smooth look.

Like many, I get a smile on my face every single time I walk out to get in my pony. I get more jollies from listening to comments on it at shows, as people look at it, than winning trophies... My big thing is to only modifiy it "tastefully" and not go "gaudy".
I really appreciate all the comments and your voting in the polls.

I like your chop. I think it's agressive and has a good overall feel to it. Doesn't look pieced together for the sake of getting everything you can find on the internet onto your car. I say do it!

The agent 47 mirrors look great for the look you're going for, IMO.
The Mach 1 emblem on the grille, however just doesn't "fit" if that makes any sense. While I usually actually prefer them off to the side, a tri-bar pony in the center would look perfect.
Since the grille and front fascia give the car a more aggressive, less "showy" look, the black on the hood should be flat or semi-gloss instead of the flashy gloss black, IMO.
BTW, the Mustang script, looks really good in place of the GT emblem.

I think the idea looks great! Do it now and you won't be "runner up" anymore
Had a question for you: If you still have the photoshop up would it be possible to see what the CS front fascia with the lower fog lights like you did would look like with the stock grille? That's an idea I've been kicking around for a while.
