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

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.

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.
