Calling all Owners of white Mustangs
#391
I foil backed a Black Chrome Running Pony to amplify the lighting intensity...
Dremel cut and filed a 3/16 sheet of clear lexan to the shape of the pony. (I was informed Lexan was used in fiber optics so..I tired it with this over standard plexiglass. )
Carefully placed and spaced 12 LED's to the Lexan Sheet to sandwich between the Pony emblem and the LEXAN.
Drilled a refraction point where each LED was clear taped....
Unmounted the original Chromed PONY and set this one in its place. I debated at this point whether to wire it into the parking lights or the Fog lights.
State Law would stick me if I have blue or red lights so I decided ... The fogs lights so I can cut these off and on with the OEM fogs if I want to. Tapped into Parking lights they would be always on and always a cause for trouble with a fickle cop.
Added some wire loom for a clean look ..
And BOOM... Glow Pony.
I'm going to make another one and document the Mod.... Otherwise you can look at FORD-A-TUDE's version..which is a bit different but still...along the same lines. Link Below.

Total investment if you use your existing Pony..
$10 for a dozen LED's pre configured for 12 to 14 volt applications.
$3 for an 8 by 10 sheet of 3/16th thick Lexan
If you need to buy another Pony add $60 bucks.
Tools = Dremel, Sandpaper, Clear tape, 1'4 inch Drill bit, Pliers and Body Panel Pry tool to remove Pony from Grill without losing the OE locking tabs.
Time = 2 hours tops to fabricate if you're good with Dremel. And maybe 30 minutes to install once you decide where you're gonna tap into for power.

Can't believe I forgot about the White Mustang thread. Here's a picture of my new louvers, with custom paint. Got it finished in February.

Thanks for your response. After asking you the question, I did a google search and Ford A Tudes write up on this popped up. While this wouldn't work for me as I have the center fog grille on my car, I know a lot of people who would be interested in this for their car. I am very handy with both the drummel and electrical aspect of this project, so I may look into making multiple sets and sell them to local mustang club members, even doing the installs if needed.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Canards is the name. I got them for a different car, heated them, molded them and bolted them on. Im a ricer at heart. Im not sure if they make canards for a mustang and I wanted more than a universal canard like APR makes.

They are but Im sure for optimal downforce angles and positioning comes into play. For me it was where can I get these to fit. they may add a small amount of downforce but I have nothing to back that up. I hope you're also on my side when I bolt a big *** wing on this car lol.
The canards are for an FRS. I almost used canards for a few other models but the FRS was the closest shape wise and therefore the easiest to modify.
