Ford reveals Mustang customers have an all-new way to personalize their ride with the car’s first-ever factory Matte Clear Film, giving Mustang a stylish satin-like finish while also protecting the car’s paint.
“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,” said Laurie Transou, Mustang chief program engineer.
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) 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.
The 2024 Mustang Matte Clear Film is a product of PPG. It’s designed to withstand harsh detergents used at hand or touch-less car washes, as well as road salt, bird droppings, bug splatter and asphalt residue, according to the company.
Priced at $5,995, the new option comes with the same 3-year/36,000-mile factory warranty that applies to all 2024 Mustangs, the company noted.
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 will also be a standalone item on the Mustang Dark Horse for customers who prefer a more under-the-radar appearance.
