I had the car painted and the bodykit put on for $3900. While car was at the shop, I ordered new headlights and taillights.

I got it done at Affordable Paint and Body. It's not trick paint, it's Dark Satin Metallic, a factory paint used on the 98 Mustangs.

The Saleen? bumper and wind looks great. Not a huge fan for the lights. The Saleen wheels make the car look complete. Nice.

thats a cool color, I have never seen it before, in the first picture it looks like the kind of paint that changes different colors from different angles

+1, just my humble opinion, dont take it the wrong way but the stock lights are a signature trait of mustangs (right?). I mean the 3 bars are so cool, why did you remove em? Just curious, thats all.
By the way OP, that paint job looks AWESOMELY FRESH, it probably cost a small fortune..
