OHMYGOD what a difference.. it just adds a really cool bit of class to the *** if you know what i mean.. i just didnt see the basic black worthy of the car.. Plus everyone has those it seems.. go to SSINSERTS.COM to see some samples or try my attached file of my car. :THUMBSUP:

They look great. Wonder how they would look on a DSG? I wonder if someone will make a satin aluminum set soon. Think the SS on a DSG might be a little much.

BigRed · 08-06-2003, 11:39 AM

I'm way too poor and cheap to buy the SS inserts...so I went with some $10 vinyl dealies off ebay...look pretty good..for now..

Hey they look good. But since you have a 30k Mach I wouldn't say "cheap"..........how about thrifty?

Ralph Greene · 08-06-2003, 12:03 PM

It's kinda funny how people's views are different about style. My Mach came with the black vinyl inserts, and I took them off as soon as I could. I believe the plain bumper looks best. As they say...different strokes....

I have them, and they look just as good on DSG. :THUMBSUP:

I saved money and still got SS. I got my SS inserts off of ebay for $45 from Mustang Dreams.

OK JIM H. i think these would look great on any Dark Colored car especially black.. My wife has a black Aviator and the more chrome stuff you spank on it the better it looks! The DSG color would probably benifit from "shiny" mirror type chrome as well..

Big Red, Looks great! the Yellow looks awesome with any black add-ons, always has and always will.. I call it the "bumble bee effect" and your inserts prove the point! You should not add Chrome to a yellow car.. Black is always king there.. The SS just wouldnt look right.

The Red, White and Blue i think is where it becomes a "tossup".. Can almost go either way.. Black inserts kinda match the spoiler back there so thats a plus.. However if you buy the triple chrome plated MACH 1 License plate frames the SS inserts match those and the Chrome exhaust tips and the MACh 1 emblem too.. Ive already got the Triple Plate Frames on order now (for over a month) so i just kept up the trend i suppose..

However the car is just so dam cool and doing such a good job pushing me thru my mid-life crises it really doesnt matter at this point!! :THUMBSUP:

I went with the grey inserts on white.It gives it a shadow effect,not so IN YOUR FACE look.It also seems to get lighter or darker,as the lighting changes. Looks nice in person.....

I did the same. Gave it the perfect balance of yellow/black. My hubby was against it, but he said it's my car, do it. When he saw it, he kind of mumbled, "why didn't Ford do that to begin with?" He likes it! Oh, and I LOVE the chrome on the Azure, and that white one looks perfect!

I just installed the black vinyl ones I got from Barry. They practically jumped out of my hands and installed themselves. So with the billit interior knobs, and this, I feel confident enough to do the hood decal trim with the "281" all by my lonesome..Should have that on in a few days.

The matt black vinyl looks great on the Red by the way..

The decals I got from Barry was top notch stuff. Went on nicely.

Walt: The SS on the DSG really sets it off. Nice job.
