I managed to get a few pictures taken, but I need to retake them since the car was dirty due to the drive to the alignment shop in the rain that morning. One day this week I'll try to get it cleaned up and not just sitting in the driveway.

Still, I'm totally satisfied with the results. 05 Mustang was a HUGE help in this long process, so once again man, thanks a ton.





Andretti: Do you have any shots of the rear of your car? I'm running the same setup (GT500 nose w/ a Roush spoiler in back) and I'm thinking of getting the car striped this year.

What about HID'S? My 08 has factory HID'S, will the non HID gt500 light plug in to my exsiting harness or would i need 2008 HID'S from a gt500? I read all 67 pages of this thread and not one mention of HID'S that i could find, any help is appreciated.
Heres a couple of my hotrod, a gt500 conversion should finish off the look i am after.

I agree.. its begging for that conversion.. should have one mean looking machine on ur hands when its done though.... sorry I dont have any info on the HID's for you, but I'm sure someone with the knowledge will chime in.

I found the gt500 HID assy's on line and the cheapest was 740.00 per side!!!!! The regular GT HID'S are about the same price, who new they were filled with gold? That just doubled the price of the conversion, I wonder if my wiring harness will plug in to a regular gt500 light or is the front harness diffrent?

I've heard that you can use the gt wiring harness, but your better off buying a gt500 one for water sealing reasons...then again, you can modify yours to work

You don't need GT500 HID's.. just the headlights as they are different.

Fog lights will obviously need to be swapped as well.
