Very nice I like how you changed the radio led to match the instrument cluster. (I think that was you who posted about that months and months ago?)

The trumpets are the exhaust tips that were original to 65/66 Gt's. They would have been too restrictive with my set up so I had to modify them if I wanted to keep them, which I definitely wanted to keep them, at least for now.
