Although one could shop around for even more aftermarket goodies, the main draw for this conversion kit must be its affordable collectability. Seriously, it’s a limited-edition conversion kit that’s going to be produced in just 500 units (with global availability!). And it costs a mere $7,495.

Among the included perks we could mention the bespoke RTR body graphics, Ford Performance 19-inch wheels, as well as the “unique serialized components:” RTR Ford Performance illuminated sill plates, dash plaque, radiator cover badge, or the RTR wheel center caps are also on the list.

This conversion kit is also compatible with both the Ford Performance Track Handling Pack and the MagneRide Suspension Kit. But aside from enhancing the looks, feel, and handling of the 2021 Mustang, there are no upgrades available for the engine. So, it’s a stock six-speed manual (with RTR shift knob) 5.0-liter V8 affair through and through...
