We'll post up pictures when we get the proto-types done. If they turn out good, we'll make this a go!

Thanks!!

Here's a picture of Chris'(ANBAUTO) car with painted headlight buckets. He's got a West Coast hookup on a painter who does them also.

Ummmm, those are not headlight buckets. Those are part of the Foose fascia.

We've got our first set of headlights coming in on Monday, we'll work on them, paint them and post pictures for you guys. We'll keep you posted.

Thanks!

Yeah, I might be interested in these too. But I have the same concerns as 157db. Even though mine's an '06, the lenses on mine are still in pristine codition. What assurances will we have that the ones we get back won't be scratched and dinged?

I need some clarification on this. Are these going to be painted on the inside and then the glass will be reinstalled or are you going to leave the glass off for a more retro look?

Ohh I like the idea of painted light buckets. That's how the old stangs were. If I could get some pre painted that would be good.
