Re: 1965 Ford Mustang
I like modifying stuff, but for this car, since it appears to be so original, or at least look really original, I want to modify it so that it looks like it could have been factory.
I added rear speakers in the rear deck and installed the factory style covers. Came out pretty cool, but then I got stuck on the front kick panel speakers. With the parts I had, they just didn't look quite right. All of the colors I bought that were supposed to match didn't either...
I pulled all the emblems off the car because they're a little rough and don't match the quality of the outside of the car. I test fit a fender badge on the kenwood grille cover and it looked kinda cool. So I went to a paint shop and had them mix me up spray cans of my interior color using my inner rear quarter panel cover to make it. It is a tick off, but it's painted plastic, not metal, so I was kind of expecting that.
I also removed the pins off of the back of the fender badge and buffed it with a dremel. Came out really nice. 3M tape and a sharp razor blade took care of the sticky part.
All parts were painted to match and I think it came out pretty cool. To me, this looks more like what Ford would have done than what I originally was going to use (right side of comparison pic.)
