so im happy and will post picks of finished setup when completed.

The c-pillar is the metal thing that goes over your rear window, just compare it to your stang and you'll notice a difference.

I want the rear end.

The C-pillars, also known as "sail panels", are the body panels above/around the rear quarter windows. The Bullitts/Mach 1's have slightly different C-pillars than the rest of the New Edge Mustangs.

See...

"Standard" pillars curve downward... the Mach/Bullitts curve back toward the front.

oh dang i didn't even notice the c pillars i will have to go back, and like i said before the front ends are completly messed up. Good news though i have assembled all of the parts and they look great. on the brushed aluminum i have taken off the mach 1 logos and am in the process of painting MTX Audio on them since that is the sound system i have. the only part i did not get in the end were the side mirror that fold the wanted $150 EACH!! i was like nevermind ill just get the tweets and grill delete. With a total cost off $193.75

se if you can get a rear sway bar im currently trying to get a take off one but all the local junkyards and auto salvage places have no mustangs or thunderbirds for me to steal a sway bar off of and im also looking for a strutt tower but i dont know if a mach 1 one would work but if they all had front end damage they are prolly already f***ed up

speeking of the rear, get the rear axle. its an 8.8 with 3.55 gears. that would be awesome!

I've never understood this concept. Why advertise the audio system in your car. Is it a check list for when someone breaks into your car, to make sure they steal everything?

well i could put the big logo that says MTX real big on the window but i really just want a small touch and i don't have a mach system so i don't want to advertise that. idk its just people look for stuff like that at car shows.
