Mach 1 Grill Delete....

[squeak93]

Got my xmas present early from the wife..... Very suprised she actually bought me a part for the car, not to mention she got the right one (with help of fellow stanger). But I have to say they are not as easy to put on as u think with the bumper still on the car. Didn't do any research on the install, figured it would be pretty straight forward (which it was just a pita!)

Will get pics up in a few days when my cell phone stops being stupid.

what was a pita about it?. im gettin mine for christmas too.. but i gotta wait till monday. hopein to put it on later that day,.

Its a PITA to bend the bumper and fit your hand and a tool back there to get the old bolts off, new bolts on. I jerry rigged it on there, I didnt use any new bolts... it was slicing my hand up trying to get back there, haha.

Its so worth it though.

I used a 7mm wrench to get to the bolts under the bumper. I even tied a piece of string to the other end in case I dropped the wrench. Didn't know where it was going to end up.

 

[steveb24]

hmm.. as long as i can get this and some new gauges on christmas day! ill be happy. dont care how long it takes

So the bumper has to be romeved for this install other than that is a PITA huh
and I was thinking this is gonna be the easyest mod to do...oh well

Where do you guys get the Delete kit from? I checked on line and only can find
them sold in sperate parts not as a package?

You dont have to remove the bumper, I have done it twice, very easy.
I did use a different assortment of nuts, bolts and washers. You will also need
some 3m double sided foam tape. Came out flawless.

removing the bumper is easy. 4 screws in the inner fender, and four nuts (2 on each corner and it comes right off. trust me it is worth the extra 5 min it takes to remove it.

I found it easy to do my grill install and I didn't need to remove the bumper. I installed my grill delete and chin spoiler in 30 mins total.



I have Bullitt pedals waiting under the tree for me this year. SHould be interesting installing those

 

[steveb24]

get a heat gun. took me 5 minutes to put in all 4 pedals.. maybe 6

 

[Mustang5L5]

I heard that. I also heard about boiling the clutch and brake to soften them up to put them on.

I'll let you know Dec 26th

 

[steveb24]

yea well dont try to use a hair dryer.. trust me those suckers got to be HOT to get on. i basically almost melted them and them put em over and they reformed to perfect shape over the pedal. the first time i did em i runied the set trying to bend them on.. w/ a hair dryer of course.

 

[MrGame]

wait so what exactly do you have to do, because i was thinkign about doing it?

Wife ordered the basic kit (2pc kit) from 5.0 Resto. Was here in 3 days or so.

Would of been easier to take front bumper off to install delete but we just pulled the head lights (they were easy as pie) and worked our hands around the back.. Plus I had been up for like 20 hrs and was tired as hell. But so worth it in the end. Looks great.

Installed my 3pc delete kit today from Santa. Took about 1 hour without removing the front cover. I used a 7mm wrench for the lower bolts. I like it!
