Its lazyness of the vendor to not update the
year models their items fit once that year
model (08) has been produced for an already
existing product they produce or advertise.
I see it all the time. The corners are the same
from 05-08. No tooling change has taken place
at Ford for the corner lights. Or the taillights
as well. They did do something different for the
HID headlight housings on the 08s.

I believe you to be 100% correct. Sadly, the vendor I contacted is the one that told me they were different...Guess that kinda assures they won't be seeing my business......
Thanks for the info, appreciate it....

Me too. We are currently looking at a lower grille and smoked corners. I have some money left from my stimulus check and am hoping to get those ordered today... If all goes as planned.
Hint, hint...Mike

oh, and stangmods has 3 differant sets of corners with stealth bulbs. they have them listed for 05-08. i've always been impressed with stangmods service.

Yes, the smoked corners on my 05 are from Stangmods. Great service. However, I just cannot help but think that the stealth bulbs are available elsewhere at a much better price...I could be wrong, but 48 bucks seems steep...Don't get me wrong, I got them there for the 05, but just sayin......
Oh, and I am leaning toward the Carriage Works lower grille insert right now.....Just cannot justify 200 plus bucks for a lower insert, considering that is more than we spent on the upper Billet......
