Just installed my $50 mach 1 sail panels today. I was surprised at how easy and straight forward it was. Great mod for those who pay attention to little details. Let me know what you think.

Looks awesome, I love this mod, and you got them cheap. I like the bullitts but some new wheels and the car will be perfect. Looks mint

So subtle but so worth it. I did this on my 03 GT....everybody kept telling me not to waste my time or money but when it was finished they all loved it...go figure lol I love the mach c pillars

I had to google what it even was before i could tell the difference lol. But then once i saw what you were talking about i liked it so much more. Great subtle mod. The change in window shape really makes it more aggressive

Thanks for the comments guys, believe it or not i did put a set of FRPP C Springs on the car about 6 months ago which was a waste of money really, they didnt do at all what i thought they would do. But here is my only real before picture...

Its the angle in which the rear quarter window molding lines up with the side scoops. The stock GT is just curved whereas the bullitt/mach 1 cuts back at an angle. I personally think this is the best mod I have done in 4 or 5 years owning my car...i guess second to the 01 front.

I feel bad I've been around mustangs for so many years and can't tell any difference?

The Mach C-pillars curve down from the top like regular v6/gt/cobra panels and then cut down with a much more extreme / sharper edge. Guess you can say it gives it more of a "fastback" look.

I see it now.

I actually don't like it.

Makes it look like one of those removable hardtops that we an option on the 95 cobras.

I love the Mach C-pillars, but I wouldn't do them without changing the glass either. Nitpicking, really, but it bugs me.

UPDATE: Just called the guy back who sold me the c pillars and scored both the glass windows for $40 bucks. Hopefully get them on the car by the end of next week. To anyone who can pick up a set I would advise you to because it is a fantastic exterior mod.

I had never heard of this mod, either. Definitely makes a nice improvement. :beer:

I think the Mach1 c-pillars are a step down from the normal ones. The ones that look best are the Saleen c-pillars, They make the car look more sleek whereas the Mach1 pillars do the complete opposite IMO.

I like the Mach 1 C pillars and it will look even better once you get the correct glass in.

^ i had no clue so many people did not know this mod or the difference either. Not a big fan of the saleen pillars personally, I think the mach 1/ bullitt pillars gives these cars way more of an aggressive look IMO. I think the new glass will look great once I get them in. Not sure of another mod to do besides cobra skirts...any opinions?
