Nite Pony Package problems

[Jake]

I will update this with more photos soon. But having received a “Nite Pony” GTPE in Carbonized Grey Metallic, the badges are identical, best I can tell, to the 2022 GTPE. The side badges are indistinguishable from our 2022 Premium AWD… the wheels are cool but feeling ripped off for $800 on this ‘blacked out’ package without the blacking out. And Ford called it “Nite Pony package”. ?

We talked about this back on December 15th right?

It is for my wife. She was, and is, pretty embarrassed by the Nite Pony name. Clearly a horrible name to make Dark Horse sound better than it should I guess.

Well then, she doesn't have to use the name. I refuse to call my Mustang a "Mach-E", because I think that is a dumb name.

Yeah, but I’m getting into fighting with the dealer now to explain what I paid for, exactly, and figured the build week thread wasn’t the best place for it.
Also, hoping someone got the actual badges and posts some photos so I can take em in!

That's great, they really overpromised and underdelivered on this package. Good luck!

Here are my “nite pony” badges… anyone else get this package and could take pics of your badging? These were taken after it got dark out, sunset was a fast as I could get home to take the photos tonight.

Mine are the same. Nothing changed from my ‘22 to ‘23.

How can they say “painted black badges”? Is it possibly one half-shade darker chrome? I have my doubts. Well, easiest $800 Ford made so far!

When Ford did their contest, I thought anything horse or pony related was too on-the-nose and would be cringe. I went with "Eclipse." Joke's on me, I guess.

If you have to go with a horse-themed name, "Nightmare" would have been the best option, but no way that gets through Ford PR. ?

This is my standard GT badging. So for $800 you get black wheels and they deleted the blue line in the “-E.” The GT badge is identical.

Oh! ? that’s the part they painted black? That little thing? ?

You gotta hand it to the marketing dept!
