Default Just got a 5.0!!!

I used to be into these cars VERY heavy years ago.I had my last ("88 vert) in "04.I got married,had a daughter ect...I happened to find a 1995 GTS being neglected and picked it up cheap.It was bought new by an old lady,and the second owner drove it like one!She has some cleer peeling and faded paint,but runs and drives.My first question is about headlights,i need new ones and ebay has too many to pick from!Do you guys recomend any of them?I want quality units that will last a while!

Congrats on the mustang.
I would go with some head lights with American Muscle there products are really good even though there not as cheap as ebay you get what you pay for is what i have all ways been told. Here is a link to there headlights http://www.americanmuscle.com/94-98-headlights.html hope these helps.

your headlights can probably be saved if they arent all smashed up... you would be suprised what some 1000, 1500, 2000 grit wet sanding can do if you follow it up with a mothers powerball

+1, i think mothers makes a kit now, that comes with everything you need to clean up the head lights. comes with a few polishers and the buff ball

get some cobra headlights they are cooler looking, and have the diamond cut look

as for the headlamp clean up kits, one member here mentioned those kits strip the UV protection off the lamp, making it fade quicker down the road
