Ford Motor Co. in Dearborn is adding another way for Mustang owners to personize their pony cars — Matte Clear Film — which gives the vehicle a satin-like finish and protects it paint.
Mustang Matte Clear Film joins other personalization options, including wheel choices, interior colors, contrasting seatbelts, factory painted brake calipers, and bold paint colors.
Matte Clear Film is available on all Mustang coupe models (EcoBoost, GT, and Dark Horse) and in all factory paint colors, with first deliveries slated to begin in June. It will be available on all Mustang convertible models in the fourth quarter of 2024.
“Mustang has been about driving freedom and freedom of expression for 60 years, and our new Matte Clear Film provides a whole new way for customers to make Mustang their own,” says Laurie Transou, Mustang chief program engineer at Ford.
The 2024 Mustang Matte Clear Film is a product of PPG. It’s designed to withstand harsh detergents used at hand or touchless car washes, as well as road salt, bird droppings, bug splatter, and asphalt residue.
Available to order starting Tuesday and priced at $5,995, the new option comes with the same 3-year/36,000-mile factory warranty that applies to all 2024 Mustang cars.
Customers who order the Mustang Matte Clear Film for the Mustang Dark Horse will not get the standard hood accent stripe or be able to select the painted racing stripe; Matte Clear Film is not available with the GT California Special package, or the optional graphics packages on the Mustang EcoBoost and GT.
Graphic delete also will be a standalone item on the Mustang Dark Horse for customers who prefer a more under-the-radar appearance.
