Default New Appearance Mods: Finally Posting Pics

Decided to try some of the red welt interior trim from trimbright.com, and so far I could'nt be happier with it.
Also cut some vinyl pieces to black out the pillars in between the headlights and the grille, thought it would give it a more aggressive appearance. Used some more vinyl to black out the horizontal bar on the pony package grille, trying to imitate and pay homage to the 1967 X-Code and the 1968 289's. If I like it enough I'll probably paint it, but seeing as how there are more and more awesome parts coming out for the mustang all the time, I don't want anything to be permanent.

I did however,paint the scott drake third brake light bezel black so it matches my other rear dress pieces.

Lastly, my boss at city garage wanted to make some mustangs out of my leftover vinyl for the front fenders, at first I liked them, but now I'm not so sure. Probably leave em on for another month and then take them off.My service writerasked me which Happy Meal the stickers came with. I couldn't stop laughing...

I like the grill changes. Makes the care different from the rest, I always like that. I like all the other mods too except for the red welt around the radio area. My .02

Thanks for the feedback!One of the best things about the welt is how if you get tired of it, you can just remove it and it's like it was never even there. So I tried putting it all over the place just to see where it fit the best without overdoing it, keeping it sleek and looking modified, without cramming a lot of red lines down the passenger's throat.

Thanks! The trim works like a type of weatherstrip or thin rubber piping that has a fin that you canpress into almost any gap in the interior.

The turn signals I bought off of ebay when they were first coming out, it is'nt tinted, it's a black housing with a clear lens. Mine were about 35$ for the pair when I bought them. I've seen them in a catalogue recently for about $80 for the pair, and a bit less on ebay.
