All of my mods so far - Spoiler, smoked out taillights, more

[JGuske23]

It's very sturdy when installed correctly. I used isopropyl alcohol to prep the car surface, I heated the tape and car surface with a heat gun and applied per the product's included instructions.

I think the thing that threw me off was it's shipped in three pieces and because of this, I had a hard time lining up all three pieces just right. I had to reinforce the bond that connected each piece with double sided gorilla tape, and soon I'm going to epoxy them together.

As far as strength they held up really well against an impact with my toolbox. I'd recommend it.

Have you ran it through an automated car wash by chance? Any issues if so?

Can't wait for mine. I just plan on the grille in gloss black and the black bar between the tail lights. not sure yet if I will put the wrap license plate on the front to blend with the black grille or .... wait until I get a ticket.

Was the emblem difficult to remove?

Sir or Madam, I didn't curse at you, please don't curse at me. Hand wash/spray bays only.

(I'm being dramatic but no automated car washes yet and I hope I don't have to.)

The front emblem removal requires the under hood panels removed and the frunk tub removed as well. @Murse-In-Airy has a great walkthrough on this. While he was able to remove multiple push nuts holding the front emblem on, I did not have that kind of patience. I broke each one of them off knowing that I would reattach with 3M emblem tape. Honestly I have no idea how he was able to manage getting any push nuts off with the constricted space to get tools in and out. I took a thin chisel and snapped each post off except for one at the bottom that does not have a push nut. I left that on to serve as a guide when placing it back on as well.

Great work! I love the look of the spoiler especially!

Question - if you don't mind sharing, where did you get the webcam covers from? Thanks!

And dang, I wish that Minnesota didn’t require front license plates. The nose looks so sharp without one, although your vanity plate IS pretty great.

I'm in MN too, just bought this so I don't have to screw holes into the bumper: https://craigs-mustang-brackets.myshopify.com/products/2021-mustang-mach-e

New vinyl grill, gloss black to match the other piano black trim on the premium. Frunk removed for emblem removal and reinstall. Also hex film over headlamps.

Smoke hex over side indicators

Smoke hex over front and rear fender reflectors, red stem caps

Same smoke hex on all rear lights including top spoiler and reverse light.

A detail shot of the spoiler. I absolutely love the symmetry between the spoiler and taillight shape.

Smoke hex on charging port door. Protecting against scratches by my ring and general stupidity. It also stands out quite a bit. It's funny to see people double take when they realize it must be an EV. Front two windows are tinted to match the rears as well.

I installed some webcam covers over the map lights since I do a lot of night driving and don't want every light shining at all times.

My next mods will likely be a blacked out bar tying the rear taillights together in the more traditional mustang style, as well as new wheels and tires for the upcoming summer season.


Edit: Big shout out to @Murse-In-Airy for giving me the inspiration and courage to tackle a lot of mods I wouldnt have otherwise attempted. Thank you!

Looks awesome! I want that spoiler! Where did you get it?

Did you see any change in your Miles/Kilowatt?

Nope. But it's also hard to determine when it's cold in the Midwest and I'm already seeing such a range impact.

But it certainly feels faster. ?

Love that this thread is still featured on the forum homepage. Gotta have some eye candy…
