Peeling tint in 3-4 years tops huh? I think I'll stick with just a replacement set of 02-04 lights and call it a day. Plus those don't ask for cop trouble.

Too dark for true blue?

OK, here are a couple photos (it looks a lot cleaner in the pics than it does live!)...





Here a quick shot of t'other end...

with flash:


without flash:


You can see how the flash lit up the reflectors and MUSTANG lettering--you can also see me...

They are actually quite darker tint than the photo shows--I like them because they have the same triple vertical bar lanes contour contour as the stock housings--and have a black surround inside so as to not look real ricey...

The headlights look nice! Not a fan of the tail lights, but nice.

Hmmm I like the headlights a lot. Do the reflectors do their job when light is shined on them? But Cliffy, buddy, we need to have a chat. Its about you know what......its about the leather bra, it needs to be removed ok man? And the euros need to be kicked out of the house at the same time. I'm glad we had this talk though, I know its tough. Otherwise a very fresh looking stang and a pretty unique approach. I kinda like the "Fast" badge hehe.

Bra can't go--I drive 20k+ a year mostly on the Interstates, the nose of the hood would look like shìt in 3 months--believe me, been there and done it.

The taillights really do look better in person...

Yeah man i've got 3 rock chips RIGHT on the very front of my hood right now. All acquired by me since I bought it 30k miles ago. If the car was worth more id just have a 3M Clear coat put on, but thats expensive as **** and it would need to be repainted. I throw down about 12-15k a year, way more than I want to drive this car. Sometimes I really wish I had a beater.
