New fog lights

So even though this is my daily driver, and I was never going to make any mods to it because I have other cars for that... it didn't really work out that way.

First something I noticed while taking the bumper off the car. I know that on classic cars there were many hand written symbols put on during manufacturing but I was surprised to see hand written numbers on my 2 year old Mustang. Do they really still put hand written numbers on modern car parts?

Here are some examples:

Behind the lower grille in the bumper:

In front of the front wheel below the fender:

Now to the fog lights.

Here is the starting point, just the V6 fog lights.

I guess this is really happening now.

And the finished product.

Looks good. You should consider the Roush grilles and chin spoiler to match :tup

Great improvement! It's really cool to see the hand written stuff.

That was one of the first things I did to my 09 V6 when I got it. Was put in a set of fog lights. Now I have them covered up with the smoked covers. It never ends. :D

Thanks for the compliments.

The handwritten numbers are interesting. Once I noticed them I was wondering if I should still cut up the bumper but you can see my decision.

I've had the car for 2 years and although I've had a few (too many in my opinion) warranty visits, I still smile every time I drive the car.

I thought about them but since this is my 12 month a year daily driver I figured adding a larger and probably lower chin spoiler and an open lower grille probably weren't great ideas.

Makes sense
