Since you already have them, the guess work is already done as far as taping goes.
I say $300 to $500 sounds right.
To give you an idea, I charge about $900 to do a whole car, bumpers and all.
It's time consuming...

The center stripe would look killer on your Stang! ;-)
I like the stock headlights over the other one.

Those headlamps and the super snake stripe make your car look TUFF as a mother****er. I usually dont even like stripes but DO THE SS STRIPE

I don't like the Raxiom because I think the internal projector lens sits too low in the assembly. I wish it was centered vertically in the space. Looks like droopy eyes to me. Perhaps if they were smoked and you couldn't see inside as much. I really need new lenses as mine are all crazed and look horrible.

I'm getting an estimate from a few places today. I may have to wait until December to get it done. Its going to be a little pricey I'm sure, because I need the trunk lid and roof repainted while they are at it. He ask if I wanted him to clear just the stripes or the whole body panel? I have no idea.

i personally like the raxiom lights.. i also wish the lights were more centered. sites that sell projector should have before and after pictures..

i had a car once that i bought projectors for. there were three or four brands available. but only one had good light out put. with regular bulbs was almost double stock output, with hid's, i never needed brights.

wish i could see light output, id put them on my car as well. those are just what im looking for..

*edit*
looked at the reviews and pics on AM. i like them more and more now.. not so much the ring.. but i like them. and you can buy a set of hid lights on ebay for 60. and with the seller ive used, ive had good service and good quality. this might be my next mod

Have the stripes cleared only, like I did on MadStang40.
If they clear all 3 panels, they'll end up painting half the car and it will be too costly (more than $800 or 900 for sure) despite being the right way of doing it.

I like the headlights with the 'split' in the middle, I am considering buying those and adding the pre-painted headlight splitters like the GT-R model, from American Muscle... please let me know all of your thoughts.
