What Do You Think? - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

hauntedforever · 02-10-2008, 05:28 PM

I want to paint my trunk instead of getting one of those honeycomb panels with black out kits on the tail lights and fill in the Mustang with black here is a photoshop pic of what it might look like. What do you think?

acreature · 02-10-2008, 05:36 PM

It will look nice.

You should black out your tag numbers on the internet, yo

Stangfan · 02-10-2008, 05:37 PM

I prefer the trunk without any black accent added. I feel there is enough black on the car already....don't even want the Mustang letters on the rear bumper cover.

03Mach1BoyAdam · 02-10-2008, 05:51 PM

It'll look like mine but without the honeycomb panel lol

Nofire · 02-10-2008, 06:37 PM

I think it'll look pretty good.

Unrealford · 02-10-2008, 07:08 PM

Well I have the Honeycomb, but if I was going to paint,Id make sure its the Ditzler Crinkle style paint, or better known as Matte

2K3OWM1 · 02-11-2008, 05:53 PM

That'll look good. Kind of reminds me of the highway patrol cars in the back.

Isn't there a place to buy the vinyl stripes for the back instead of the honeycomb? Does it match the stripes on the sides and hood?

WraithTR1 · 02-11-2008, 07:11 PM

It'll look good. Mines got vinyl on it right now, but once the weather evens out and it's nice enough I'm going to have it painted.

rich1 · 02-11-2008, 07:47 PM

OK....As long as the paint matches the hood stripe texture.

Mistergou · 02-12-2008, 07:23 AM

It will look good! But if it was me I would just paint the trunk, not the bumper part but that's just my .02

03AV8R · 02-12-2008, 09:18 AM

Sorry, im gonna say it for those who won't.. im just not diggin it at all..

never did like the Honeycomb Panel & i dont like the black out back there at all.. It looks to tacky or to "kiddish" might be the better word..

If it were carbon fiber that was serving a purpose or some lettering in the bumpers "MUSTANG" to let people know its a mustang that just passed em by is one thing but this is something else entirely

I would be more content they know it was a Mach 1 that passed, and not just another Mustang. But that's a whole 'nuther issue.

I think it would look nice if done to match as was said earlier... Honeycomb... maybe. Paint, better. Just me wee opinion.

67bigblock · 02-12-2008, 09:22 AM

I think it looks just OK. I'd go with something else for my time.

DSG2003Mach1 · 02-12-2008, 08:25 PM

i like the bumper lettering and tail lights but not a fan of blacking out the trunk lid

LOL, Im just the opposite, I like tailight area blacked out, but hate the tailights and Mustang blackened out.

bakers03 · 02-12-2008, 08:55 PM

Not crazy about the taillights but like the rest.

3150Mach1 · 02-12-2008, 09:07 PM

Like all of it but the black on the lower bumper.
