Appearence Upgrade?

I'm happy with my Mach 1 horsepower wise right now (that won't last long haha) but want to do some appearance upgrades! So far it looks pretty stock besides performance upgrades. I have tinted windows, tinted lights and lowered. Anyone have suggestions?

Eh call me old fashioned, but I like the understated look of stock parts. Maybe Cobra bumpers, Cobra or Bullit side skirts, and different wheels

Rear window louvers is all I can think of to make a Mach 1 look any better.

The only thing id do is 03-04 cobra style bumpers.they really help clean up the look of the car to make it look like sex on wheels. Combined with the shaker hood?
And and some nice exhaust tips runnin through the back are always nice to see

Go over to the Svt performance forum. They have a thread for pictures of their Mach1's. One of the best threads I've ever seen. Like others there's not many changes to make a mach1 look better besides wheels and one (or more probably) is using the '00-'01 cobra bumper with your original Mach 1 chin. Lemme find a pic...

03-04 looks a little cleaner. That's what I had on mine. The older cobra bumper looks a little more aggressive though and so sexy with you chin spoiler.

Threw my old one in for kicks loved that car. It's obviously the one that's not a Mach 1

for me, the wheels are the biggest thing. I'm not a fan of the stock wheels, but throw some Saleen's on there, and it's drastically better.

I think the Cobra bumpers are too boxy and the opening doesn't look right without an intercooler filling the gap. I love the Roush bumper but I'm not sure how it would look having a grille in the bumper with the Mach 1 grille delete.

I was thinking cobra front/ rear bumpers as well. And I have a full borla Catback exhaust so the exhaust tips I have now I like alot. Anyone know where to get a 99/01 bumper?

99/01 cobra bumper, 03/04 cobra skirts, spoilerless trunk, and chrome wheels.

I think all Saleen wheels are ugly and I'm not too crazy about FR500's either.

Are you looking to add or subtract from the Mach "look?"

You could try some silver stripes (or take stripes off), and some Cobra mirrors in addition to the above the suggestions . . .

I know you don't like Saleens Skylar . . . so look away!
