Your car is one of those rare Mustangs on here that actually reminds me of a classic Mustang. For that reason I would say leave the headlights and tail lights alone. However, the lights do look good tinted.

Pics look great, btw.

I sprayed my headlights myself...it's pretty simple really..but you have to be FLAWLESS in your prep, sanding, and wetsanding..I've painted quite a few different things, but none of them were quite as hard as the headlights. I had to redo it a couple times..
but when you're finished it looks amazing, and if done correctly it has a very glossy smooth finish.

There is quite a bit of orange peel...but you can ONLY see it when you're up very very close, in good lighting, or if my HID's are turned on..

I also did mine while they were on the car...lol. So that added a little difficulty.

But anyways,
Eddypython has a very good writeup for tinting headlights on here somewhere, and you can pick up a can of VHT niteshade at your local automotive store. Took me about one can.

I really like the pictures. The background really compliments the car. Whichever route you decide to go with on the lights will look really good!

Wow Tanner, that means a lot when you say it reminds you of a classic stang. I think I may lay off the tint now LOL. What do you think of putting the CDC decklid panel on the car?

I personally like how paint looks - here are mine from the back ... I can't seem to find any from the front painted
