The pic's must be deceiving as it has plain black mirrors.

I was "kind of" hoping the MCA's would have the body colors covers like the Pony pkg. & GT's because one of the early show displays actually said they were part of the pkg. However, the Order Guide and all the other official Ford documentation that has become available since did not mention them for MCA (like it does w/ Pony & GT) AND when the press cars came out in late March, NONE of the MCA's had 'em either. Bottom line ... TRUST the ORDER GUIDE !!

Oops ... sorry I did not see the other replies to the mirrors before replying myself !!

You could always use some aftermarket covers.

Mirror Covers

I suppose it's intended to be a good thing but you never know...

"No Drill Option" for factory Front LP Bracket on V6 cars ...

Joe (Red Candy5.0) PM'ed me asking about my custom front plate mounting, so I thought I'd share my reply ...

(Ref. 2 pics I posted in post 18 on page 1)

1) I found some rubber oil cooler mounting blocks in my junk box (approx. 1" x 1.5" x 3" long with hole thru center) and cut them on an angle to match the lower grill angle.
2) Then cut a strip of 3/8" or so plywood I had laying around to 1-1/2" wide x 2" inches longer than the mtg. holes of the bracket.
3) Drilled 2 1/8" finder holes in the plywood at the same centers of the bracket mtg. holes.
4) Removed the upper flat panel between the top of the grill & radiator support to gain access to the back of the lower grill.
5) Then used 2 4" long drywall screws with big fender washers at the bracket that pass thru the bracket, the rubber blocks, then thru the honeycomb grill and into the plywood behind the grill.

** Note that bracket is installed up-side down compared to how it normally would be mounted to the bumper.

** Also note: this will only work on 2010-11 V6 cars with the lower honeycomb grill ... GT's don't have this lower grill to attach to !! GT owners need to get a custom made bracket from Craig's Custom Brackets (referenced in various other recent threads) ... which WILL NOT work on V6's because of the lower honeycomb grill.
