There's a HUGE difference between an 03 and an 04 Mach 1 :rolleyes:

1. The 04 has 40th anniversary badges on the fenders
2. The 03 valve covers are painted black, on the 04 they're unpainted
3. Screaming Yellow replaced Zinc Yellow in 04
4. Competition Orange added as a color choice in 04
5. Some people will say the 04 is 310hp and the 03 is 305hp, but according to Ford, it's 305hp 320tq for both years.
6. Some say the exhaust ports on the 04 are different, but I haven't seen first hand evidence of that.

All in all, the 2003 and 2004 Mach 1's are basically identical :shrug:
 
:banana: NOW wait a hot second here!!! I BLEW that doors off of an 04 the other day simply because of the black valve covers. I mean c'mon, black valve covers plus the new VTEC sticker I got to replace the "32V"...............trust me, you don't wanna mess with this! :banana:

Yea, pretty much what TR03Mach1 said with the addition of:

'03 - 4 brick cats
'04 - 6 brick cats

'03 - black door key hole guard
'04 - unpainted door key hole guard

umm, there is no anniversary badge infront of the shifter, and the 04's have 4 cats as well.... I know, I own one......well...mine has 0 cats now...


Yo Magic,

Then you got ripped off. Here is discussions about the 40th badges in the console.
