Opinion on body kit - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

MUSCLEMUSTANG65 · 05-14-2009, 11:17 AM

I got hit by a deer awhile back and have to replace my driver fender and also pit a small tear in my bumper so i was thinking of putting a roush bumper. I really like the looks of this car with the stalker skirts but how do you guys think it would look with bullitt side skirts instead? I figured they would line up better with the stock rear bumper.

wcjr · 05-14-2009, 12:18 PM

If you get the roush front bumper you've got to get the side exit exhaust/skirts. It flows alot better with the front bumper, IMO

SparksMach1 · 05-14-2009, 12:44 PM

Have you seen the roush rear bumper? i'm not sure if they are inserts you just attach to the rear bumper, or if its one whole piece, but they would flow fairly well with the side skirts you have on there now.

MUSCLEMUSTANG65 · 05-14-2009, 01:27 PM

Yeah, the side exhaust does look the best IMO but im not sure if i want to go that route, Plus its pretty low to the ground and i have rough roads and crappy train tracks to drive across daily. The rear bumper is just add on pieces to cover the exhaust holes when you use the side exhaust.

MustangSteveGT · 05-14-2009, 03:15 PM

is your car currently in great lakes, IL? cause there is a car parked at the commissary parking lot that looks literally identical to this one. same body kit. same blacked out areas on the front bumper, same side skirts. is that you?

03 Cobra

MUSCLEMUSTANG65 · 05-14-2009, 03:47 PM

The blue one isnt mine. Some guy that is on here had it but i havent seen or heard anything from him in awhile.

Bwahl602 · 05-14-2009, 07:28 PM

how do i make a puke face?

cobra bumper

NightOfTheCow · 05-14-2009, 08:58 PM

Do not like

MUSCLEMUSTANG65 · 05-15-2009, 04:14 AM

I do NOT want an 03/04 bumper and the 99/01s are getting hard to find or they are price gouged. Im between the roush and 99 style cobra.

AzureMach03 · 05-15-2009, 03:50 PM

I think body kits ruin a mach 1, just my opinion do what u want to do to it!

MUSCLEMUSTANG65 · 05-16-2009, 02:31 AM

I use the term body kit loosely. I would only put a roush or 01 cobra bumper on it and conra or bullitt side skirts. I like the roush but it doesnt look right with factory ground effects to me. Bumper is too low.

Stopsign32v · 05-16-2009, 02:32 AM

03 Cobra

AzureMach03 · 05-16-2009, 07:16 AM

yeah i agree bout the only thing i would do would be a 03 cobra body kit, i do like the 01 bumpers though...

Azure Blurr · 05-16-2009, 07:30 AM

But on a side note, that is the best looking DSG Mach ever!

Kind of like this one! It cost me $600 for parts, paint, and install @ 5 Star Ford in north richland hills. They did a amaizing job on the paint matching and install.

Stopsign32v · 05-16-2009, 04:54 PM

^Needs 03 Cobra sides and the stock Mach rear bumper back on it. You do not have a Cobra.

MUSCLEMUSTANG65 · 05-16-2009, 05:27 PM

Yeah, I think the side skirts are one of the biggest improvements but to me the 03 looks good but it makes the mach look too bottom heavy.

The AntiRice · 05-16-2009, 06:38 PM

^^^^nice fobra 4x4

MUSCLEMUSTANG65 · 05-16-2009, 06:56 PM

Just noticed that. You really gotta lower that thing texas. I dont think mine ever sat that high. Had an 2000 gt that did though.

i say do the 01 Cobra and also get the real Cobra R front splitter, but also the roush with bullitt side skirts would look great though which ever will look great.

swervo · 05-17-2009, 04:03 PM

01 cobra bumper and 03 cobra side skirts here. :ORANGE:

Wow thanks for the info. I wish someone would of pointed this out earlier. I didnt realize I do not have a cobra...

At least it is not mistaken for a GT from behind. It seperates me from the herd. Soon it will be shaved and wont say anything from the rear.

MUSCLEMUSTANG65 · 05-17-2009, 10:29 PM

Ive always liked the look of swervos but id have to have the chin spoiler. I dont like hoe the 99 cobra bumpers have the upward angle.
