Ford's Custom Garage: A One-Stop Shop for Customization
Are you tired of driving a car, truck, or SUV that blends in with the crowd? Ford's Custom Garage is here to help! This innovative website, launched last year at the SEMA show in Las Vegas, offers a one-stop solution for customizing your existing or future Ford vehicles.
The FP800S Bronze Magneride Package: A Head-Turner
One of the latest additions to the Custom Garage is the FP800S Bronze Magneride Package, showcased as a 'Project Vehicle'. Despite its name, the star of this build is the 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger, installed on a Mustang GT's 5.0-liter V-8 engine. This ambitious project includes a range of components, such as an air/oil separator kit, a half-shaft upgrade kit, and a street-lowering kit, all contributing to a unique and powerful upgrade.
A Customized Mustang FP800S
The FP800S package also features bronze R1 wheels, a bronze lug nut kit, FP800S bronze graphics, a distinctive modular grille with bronze inserts, and a Ford Performance grille badge. Other highlights include an Air Design gloss black trunk applique, a Ford Performance rear badge, an FP800S interior badge, and an FPP ProCal tool. The build also includes wheel spats, a Ford Performance Extreme cat-back exhaust, a carbon fiber Dark Horse spoiler, a front splitter, carbon fiber mirror skull caps, Recaro seats with Ford Performance logos, a carbon fiber hood vent, and, of course, the FP800S keychain.
Availability and Other Packages
The FP800S's availability is uncertain, as the original Mustang with that name was a SEMA build that never reached production. However, Ford Custom Garage offers other packages, such as the FP700S Black Edition for the Ford F-150. This package enhances both looks and power, featuring a 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger that boosts the engine's output to 700 horsepower and 590 lb.-ft. of torque.
Ford Performance Garage: A Decade of Customization
Ford Performance Garage has been a fixture at major events like the Carlisle Ford Nationals for over a decade, offering performance parts installation. With the introduction of full-vehicle packages, customers can now order customized vehicles with a single part number, ensuring a factory warranty covers the installation. Prices range from around $5000 for appearance-focused packages to more sophisticated upgrades.
Customization Options for Ford Vehicles
The Custom Garage provides customization options for various Ford models, including the Ford Bronco, Bronco Sport, and F-150. Packages like the Blue Free Wheeling model for the Bronco Sport focus on aesthetics, adding Velocity Blue grille letters, high-gloss black wheels, and interior accents. For those seeking both style and performance, the FP700S Black Edition for the F-150 offers a powerful upgrade.
Contact and Pricing
Customers can explore the available packages and contact participating dealers through the Ford Custom Garage website. Dealers provide pricing, availability, and scheduling information, ensuring a seamless customization experience. Don't forget to inquire about the coveted FP800S or FP700S keychain!
