In retrospect, from all the pics I've seen of blown bulbs from the light switch, it really appears that the stock bulb is a bit too hot for the holder. All of those posted show the housing drastically discolored. I think that I'd PREFER the RS bulb's less wattage (therefore less heat) unless I found the lower illumination a problem. It's not as if we look at the illumination of the light switch for anything while driving anyway.

I usually try to keep an open mind when it comes to judging other cars, but that one is just ugly....

I don't like the black chrome pony emblem on the 2010 GT. Makes it look really bad with that billet grill. The Sherod looks bad.. only thing I like is the hood and shaker.

Lol, the way you built your GT, was years ahead of this thing.
Here's my open mind...

lol I was just thinking the same thing.

The vents on the front fender look like crap. I don't think I've ever seen vents quite that ugly before!

The shaker is good and I like how they painted the lower part of the rear bumper cover. I'm not sure about those vent things where the exhaust comes out though. It looks ok but I'd rather see chrome muffler tips.

44K...no way I'd pay that for this car with such lame body kit. That's close to GT500 territory which looks 100000000x times better and is A LOT faster.
