Are you tired of blending into the sea of identical cars, trucks, and SUVs on the road? Ford is revolutionizing the way you personalize your ride with its Ford Custom Garage—a one-stop online platform that lets you transform your vehicle into a head-turning masterpiece. Launched at the SEMA show in Las Vegas last year, this website is a game-changer for anyone craving a unique driving experience.
But here's where it gets exciting: Last week, a new project vehicle, the FP800S Bronze Magneride Package, made its debut on the site, and it’s a showstopper. While the name hints at Magneride suspension, the real star is the 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger bolted onto the Mustang GT’s 5.0-liter V-8 engine. This isn’t just a cosmetic upgrade—it’s a performance powerhouse.
And this is the part most people miss: The FP800S isn’t just about speed. It’s a meticulously crafted build that includes an air/oil separator kit, a half-shaft upgrade, a street lowering kit, bronze R1 wheels, custom graphics, a modular grille with bronze inserts, Recaro seats with Ford Performance logos, and even a carbon fiber Dark Horse spoiler. Oh, and let’s not forget the FP800S keychain—because why not?
But here’s the catch: There’s no word yet on whether the FP800S will ever hit production. The original Mustang with this name was a SEMA show car that never made it to dealerships. However, Ford Custom Garage offers plenty of other packages you can get your hands on right now. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your Bronco, Bronco Sport, or F-150, there’s something for everyone.
For instance, the Blue Free Wheeling package for the Bronco Sport is a cosmetic dream, adding Velocity Blue accents, high-gloss black wheels, and custom graphics. Or, if you’re after both style and power, the FP700S Black Edition for the F-150 is a beast. It starts with a 5.0-liter V-8 and adds a 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger, pushing the truck to a staggering 700 horsepower. Yes, you read that right.
But here’s where it gets controversial: Is Ford’s Custom Garage democratizing vehicle customization, or is it just another way for the automaker to upsell parts? While the factory warranty on performance upgrades is a huge plus, prices start around $5,000 and climb quickly. Is it worth it? That’s for you to decide.
One thing’s for sure: Ford Custom Garage is making it easier than ever to stand out on the road. So, what do you think? Would you drop $5,000+ to make your ride one-of-a-kind, or is this just another overpriced gimmick? Let us know in the comments—we’re all ears!
