My car came with a chrome grill pony emblem. I ordered a black one to use with the GT grill I'll be installing. I looked over a bunch of Mustangs at my local dealer. I couldn't figure out what determines what color they get. Anyone know?
I tried using the black saphhire metallic plastidip at first, with some 'glossifier' on top, but it had a couple of lumps on it that was making me frown. Temperature and the environment you apply it in makes a HUGE difference.I'm not a huge fan of the chrome either. It's okay, and if that's what some guys dig, I'm okay with it. To each their own. I'm slowly phasing out the shiny bits piece by piece. I considered different colored ponies, but they seem to be expensive for what they are. I picked up a can of plastidip that matched my wheels (graphite). It seems to match pretty well. Not the blacked out look, but not chrome either. Something different, yet something that matches the wheels (I think). I haven't sprayed it yet (too cold). I did a quick sprayout though on cardboard though to see how it looks. I'll probably give it a shot when it warms up.

And here I am! I'd like a bit more shiny bits on the car. I think the chrome surround on the coupes (Pony package and Bullitt) looks great. Does anyone know if the Pony package grille is a different piece or is the corral and the spears simply added to the existing grille? I like that look and would be happy to buy the pieces from Ford to add to mine.I'm not a huge fan of the chrome either. It's okay, and if that's what some guys dig, I'm okay with it.
