I would like to paint the part of the tailight that is black a green color the same as the car. Usually people who like the electric green mustangs like things a little different probably than most mustang owners.
Well to be kind of blunt and harsh about it(try not to take it as me being mean, not trying to be mean lol), they're very very ricey, about the only thing worse you can do is to put a giant spoiler on it. Those belong on Civics and other gay cars like that(still ugly, but nobody cares cause the car's a POS), not on Mustangs. You would probably get a lot of comments on a gigantic spoiler too, but not from the right people.

haha I thought that was you in the pics... I just kinda thought you were some woman that didn't realize they were ricey... But if the rice look is not what you're after I don't get why you like them but whatever lol.

Sweet ride man. I love the eletric green.

I dont know if its just me but your car looked lowered already. That exhaust tip is really close to the ground.

Thanks for the comments BigErrn. Optical Illusion with exhaust....becasue the rear portion of the exhaust with the chrome have been customized or something because I have noticed it seems to have a uptilt to them. They come out low behind rear wheel, then slant up. I call them my Harley pipes. Also if you look at the car straight from the side you can tell it has the standard "sittin' high" look. Check these pics out (still had old wheels on). One pic same level from the side...and one where you can see the exhaust and that custom uptilt I was talking about. Once again the arm candy is my wife. I'm the goofy looking guy standing by the car. lol.

Those fender flares HAVE to go.. I have NEVER seen those on a mustang before.. My friends lifted F150 with 38's tho, now that is a different story...

Wheels look great though...

Tail lights are blah.. Stockers are sexy as it is...

I think the tails are fine. They'd look awesome with tint on em, but so do most things Don't listen to some of the guys about the tails tho, pictures don't tell all the story

And yes those fender flares look odd, not totally bad, just different i guess.

Youre not going to enjoy those tires. They dont hook very well for me. But nice purchase man. Im running AFS 18" 03 Cobra replicas. AFS wheels are awesome. And yes, those are the AFS wheels centercaps.
