It was 200 for everything... so I'm thinking 100 for the tails.

I'm confused. If you wanted a glossy blackout panel, why didn't you just buy one? Cheaper than painting no?

Only 57 bucks for the 2010...Another 57 for the light covers... Or do they not make them for prior 2010 models?

Not a fan of the blackout lights. Maybe for show, thats about it. If someone rear ends you, you're automatically at fault...

I love the flush mount 1/4 window louvers though.

Edit - your a chick! Never mind since different rules apply.
Quit bustin her *****, man (in this case, even more-so figurtively)! Just because it's illegal doesn't mean it's wrong...

I'm pretty sure the headlight tint is illegal here too... I've got pulled twice, once for speeding, once for tabs... but never got a ticket(I guess being a girl has its perks) lol
Must be nice! Cops around here love to hand out tickets!! LOL

BTW, I like your shelby wheels and clear blinker covers. Looks great on your Stang!

At first I wanted the GTS glossy blackout panel, but I heard it's somewhat transparent. No problems on a dark car, buy I'm not going to put something like that on a white car. Plus I don't want an emblem and fitmet is less then perfect. I already had a Street Scene panel anyways. I'll admit the lights are a little dark, but I'm putting in the 360 degree LED bulbs, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Ahh I see. So these aftermarket types don't fit real well? I was thinking about getting the panel but I may just do stripes instead now lol.

Some of them leave gaps on the edges and around the emblem. I'm not sure how the fitmet is on the GTS for the 2010 Mustang... maybe it might be better?
