The pony in my grille is plenty bright and I have the 401A and chrome horses on my door panels.

I'm in, I love the dark Chrome pony on the front of my black stang, it's one of the things that sold me on upgrading the '07.

Yeah, me too. I just received my 2010 Dark Chrome pony, too, and haven't had a chance to gauge how difficult or easy this swap will be...

Dark Horse fan here but I am also a huge George Harrison fan.

I may go no horse if i could find a grill I liked.

If it fitted the 05 grille I'd swap out to a black chrome pony to match my BChrome bullitt wheels

That your first mod, Marz?

I prefer the dark pony, too. Subtle.

I really like the Black pony as well.

Will really make the darker looking rides look even darker!


I'm very interested in swapping the 11 pony for the 10 as well, and $30 is not too bad either.

If the swap is easy, I'll go for it.

I installed mine today and it wasn't as easy as i would have expected. There are 8 little pop up tabs that hold a plastic cover in place in the engine bay. That part is easy to remove. The hard part is removing the old one and installing the new without breaking the posts on the emblem. I ended up breaking the old emblem post off for easy removal seing how i didnt want the chrome pony anyways. There are 4 posts on the emblem with a metal lockwasher on the back that hold it in place. Putting the lock washer back on was probably the most difficult part. I found it easier to get a socket the same diameter of the washer to help push it in place. Once installed i think it looks fantastic, especially on sterling grey. I hope this helps.

I like the 2010 pony better. I plan on having one at the house when the car comes in.

****... I never thought I would own a car with 19" wheels!!
Mustangs have had the "irritating bling branding" of the galloping horse in the since 1965 (except for the Fox era). So you can't say that's something new in the Mustang's case...

I liked the black chrome pony on my '10 GB GT so much that it was the first thing I worked on on the car. It came off as fast as I could get it off. A bright chrome pony took its place.
