Default Why is it so hard.....

...to find specific stock pieces for a mustang???? i have been searching for ever for the mach 460/1000 rear deck. i really like how it looks and i plan on running tweeters in the rear like normal mach systems but the tweeters will hit the cardboard cover. i have found the front tweeters and currently bidding on ebay, but that rear deck is a major pita.

probably cause most people who buy a mustang with the mach 1000 stereo are so satisfied with it they hardly ever change it out for an aftermarket setup.

maybe cause it is a pretty well built car that people take care of.

Look in the junkyard when searching for imports. not domestics.

Dude that is a killer website. I wish i had a 01-04 as it seems easier to find parts that match colors. Damn Crystal White Clearcoat!

Dude, how much you think a 5 speed tranny is?
