Default Retro or Ghetto?

Okay, so I know there will be as many opinions as there are members to all of the mustang clubs in the world, but I saw these on the dreaded eBay and was wondering what everyone thought....It gives it a little more of a retro look, but does it also look ghetto....I think they could have used a better color car to show it off...

I think this would look great on a black stang. Remember that the classics had chrome trim on the tail lights as well as other places that the new ones don't, like the water guides around the windows.

A little chrome looks great, it's when you overdue it that it begins to look tacky.

I think a black trim would look better. Too much chrome is not a good thing.

I don't know about this one. I've seen these before and I'm not wild about them. My friend's 69 Mach 1 has something similar to this from the factory and it looks very good on those cars but on the 05/06 Mustangs is somehow just doesn't look quite right to me.

I vote retro. It's not too flashy. Cars used to have lots of chrome. I think SS Inserts has a stainless steel one. I know I've seen a stainless one somewhere. And +1 for the "DREADED" in your e-bay reference. try to buy elsewhere if you can.
