They kinda square off the the headlight area and give the car more of a fox mustang look. Not a big fan. I like those big round eyesstaring at me.

I picked up a pair of splitters but when i put them up to car i decided they werent for mine so now the box is just sitting around collecting dust. I agree with most people, they look great on some but not all.

Here's mine. The picture isn't the best because the lighting isn't the best in my garage. I purchased these already painted from AtlantaMustang.com. This time I didn't use any adhesive promoter, which I don't think will be a problem. This 3M tape is incredible stuff! I've even started to use it for other applications outside of the car. Someone really needs to put the same adhesive on something like duct tape!

True, the look isn't for everyone. Personally, I didn't even consider them until I saw the Saleen Parnelli Jones. I'll also be adding Astra Hammond rear window louvers in the next few months.

I immediately took the Mustang for a ride at night after installing these. As others have reported, they do not seem to effect the intensity of the headlights at least not to any level that I could detect.

I'm getting them cause' chicks like them, as saddleup confirmed .

It's funny, all the LS1 guys like to call the mustang a "chick" car. That's right baby! Exactly why I bought one! Go ahead and try this beautiful ride!

You don't get the femme opine over on LS1 tech, that's for sure...
