Looking for a near perfect set of factory center caps!

[TRbetngu]

Pulled the trigger on a set of AFS wheels and they don't come with center caps and I don't want to use the caps off of my Godspeeds.

Anybody have any?

Ebay saw some there the other day.

Are you looking for the OEM pony center caps specifically or are you open to options? I have a set of center caps that came with my AFS wheels. They're the ones with the cobra on them. They're brand new.

Yeah really looking for the OEM pony caps. Thanks, though.

No problem. I don't blame you, that's why these were never installed. I had a spare set of the OEM ones that I had bought years ago when they were $20 a piece that I put on my AFS wheels. They were asking $200 for the set the last time I saw some on ebay. I'll keep an eye out for you as I'm always scouring ebay for NOS parts. Just an fyi, the OEM pony caps will not fit flush on the AFS wheels. They'll be a little recessed.

Edit: Looks like you can get new ones for about $35 a piece on ebay. Kinda pricey but they do have em.

Good looking out, thanks! Was hoping to find some for a bit cheaper but I may not have a choice.

I had a thread in here a while ago looking for some. Never turned up any. Good luck to you! When/if something ever happens to one of my stock ones I'll be selling my wheels and getting something light and aftermarket. No way will I pay $200 for center caps lol

RIGHT?! I saved up to budget for wheels, no big deal. Had no idea center caps would be an additional 25% of the wheel cost.

I don't plan on ever selling my Mach 1. So I know that at some point it will need freshening up. Several years ago I started to see the writing on the wall when prices started to go up and the availability started dwindling on OEM NOS parts for my Mach 1. I started slowly buying replacement parts. I bought things like center caps (which went on my AFS wheels), brake pads, a complete hood and door vinyl stripe kit, chin spoiler, etc. I did the same thing with my car's aftermarket alarm that I installed. I purchased a replacement brain and (2) two way remotes. I don't wanna have to re-wire/re-pin the **** thing if the brain decides to take a crap on me. If you guys are planning on keeping your Mach 1's for a long time too and have the resources to do so I'd suggest doing the same.

Yeah $200 bucks for center caps is ridiculous. I got some of my stuff from K-Mans Parts and Bullitt03722 on ebay. They used to have pages and pages of 99-04 mustang/cobra stuff. Now not so much.

BTW, Bullitt03722 has a set of the center caps for $174.99. CJ Pony Parts has them for $139.96.

There's an auction ending in 3 days for a new set currently at $13.15:

Good used ones for $24.99 a piece:

I started doing that a while back too with certain things that I came across on ebay. NOS fog lights, shifter knob, pedals, floor mats, headlights, motorcraft locking fuel cap etc. Center caps were going to be one of them but they'd already gotten out of hand expensive. I could stomach $25 a piece but $55 is just ludicrous and replacing just one or two at a time would look funny so it'd force me into a whole set. There's two other aftermarket wheels that I would like to run at some point that have their own center caps that I'll likely go for in the event one of mine gets lost or damaged.

I've always babied/garaged/over-maintained my Mach so hopefully it'll continue looking sweet long enough for lmr and a couple other places to come out with nice reproduction pieces. Because let's face it, that's probably what it will come down to for that vast majority of us who hang onto our Machs. There's still sweet looking foxes out there that give me hope.

I had forgotten to get a set of headlights and when I finally remembered, I just couldn't justify paying nearly $500 for a set of OEM ones but I've heard nothing but bad stuff from the aftermarket china ones. I really need to replace mine, so I'll have to make that hard choice soon.

Yeah I see repros in our future too. Not all repros are terrible so there is hope. When I was shopping for my Mach, I almost pulled the trigger on a Teal Notch with a supercharged 347 sold by Unlimited Performance in San Antonio. I friggin' love fox bodies!

You may be in luck. The new lmr head lights are said to be legit and less than $200 for a pair.

Edit- my apologies to Landon for the slight derail of the thread.
