Title: Mustang front facia
Post by: Lonster on December 29, 2017, 11:58:37 PM
Has anyone tried, or does anyone know if the late model Mustang front facia will fit the SHO?
(Here's a quick and dirty photoshop)

LOL! Why not just trade in the SHO and buy a Mustang?

I came here from a lengthy stay in  the VW community.  God did I hate Getta's.  :thumbsdown:

For some reason I don't hate it. I wouldn't do it, but I don't hate it.

I really like the front end of the SHO. Especially with the PI grill. The only part I really like about the Mustang is the lower spoiler/splitter. Very interesting that the mustang bumper fits though. I'd like to see some close up pics of the lines with it mounted.

Not putting you on. It was a legitimate question. The front fender lines are very close and I really like the deep inset that the Mustang grill has that our SHO's don't have. I just thought I would ask and see if anyone had even thought about something like this yet? I have a friend that owns a big body shop, and he has full facias coming and going all the time. I'll ask him to keep me in mind next time a newer Mustang comes in and take some measurements/look at the similarities.

It will never fit...Not even close...It's actually the dumbest idea ever....

Bumpers that are aftermarket for the same car they were made for don't even fit properly LOL

It was a funny post and I appreciate the prank though lol

Your photo shopped pic doesn't even show good fitment!

Hey AJPturbo,
Don't be such a d***
Dumbest idea ever? Really?
Prank? Funny post?
You obviously can't read very well as I stated it was a quick and dirty shop.
Remember, If you don't have anything nice to say...

I've been sucked in....Oh well

Yes dumbest idea ever

SHO:
Width 76.2"
Fr track 65.3"

Mustang:
Width 75.4"
Fr track 62.3"

I don't care if the dimensions were the same...Different car it would look retarded and something out of Mad Max....Dumbest idea ever.

Not to mention, the 'Stang gets plenty 'nuff attention from like literally everywhere, that slapping It's nose onto our beloved platform just seems downright silly.

Agree with WhitePlatinum, if the OP likes that pony front nose, go trade in the SHO & get you a Stang instead. The melding of the two platforms is certainly not a love child I'd care to see. Like ever.

As a side note, some of us enjoy AJP's ummm..... let's say...... "abrasiveness". Yes. That's it. Abrasiveness. It adds some character and humor to the boards.

OK, I see how it works here. The O.G.'s can make personal attacks and call posters trolls, but if a forum newbie tries to defend their post or ideas, the mods come in and want the thread locked.
Look, I can play nice. I almost always do. But AJP turbo came in and trolled first, then called ME a troll and started the name calling. Did HE get a PM from the Mods? Did the Mods ask him to knock it off?
Sure, lets lock the thread.
