RE: TO STRIPE OR NOT TO
The chop shop is the photoshop section of the forums. They're damn good. They can almost make the car look the exact way it'll turn out. https://mustangforums.com/forumid_234/tt.htm Post that picture and ask them to put stripes on it (black, blue, whatever color), and anything else you want done to it (lowering, rims, etc.). What part of Jersey are you in? All the people I worked with over the summer in South Jersey (ocean city jersey) always raved over how they don't get any trouble with their tints. I live in philly, and know people with tints that look like they were spray painted on, and not once have they had a hard time with the law. Just don't give them a reason to pull you over 
.
The headlight restore kit is like a 10 dollar kit that basically gets that yellow film off the headlights. Mine looked like the headlights on your car (in the one photo above), and after I did the restore thing they looked much better. Its located where all the replacement light bulbs are in Pep Boys. They won't look brand new, but they'll look damn good for a 10-15 dollar solution. I liked that price over $200+ for replacements.

I live up in Philly. During the summer I'm in Ocean City, NJ.
I think that Cobra lights are different than the GT's. Not entirely sure, on that one. Didn't look enough into them to find out for sure.
Might have to race that there Cobra sometime. It'll be the battle of the tired, old motors. I read that yours has over 200,000 miles on it, right? Mines got a little over 120,000, and desperately needs a rebuild.
Before the kit, my lights looked exactly like yours, afterwards here's what they looked like:
Now you can atleast see in them, whereas you couldn't before. I might do it one more time, to see if the results improve.

Nope no difference in the headlights. Foglights yes, but thats obvious haha. I say get some decent aftermarkets, that arent euros. I just put some black housed angel eye projectorson mine. Looks badass.
Most parts (I'd say65%)from base models (6 cyl)to cobra models are interchangeable, cosmetic wise.

ah its easy, theres long screw that are connected into your headlight header pannel by plastic stoppers. The stoppers are gray and have two side on them you can pinch with a set of needlenose pliers.Just be careful not to break them,I broke mine whenI tried the first time. Luckily my new headlights came with new ones.Dont unscrew the screw from them though, the screw is only for adjusting them. After you loosen the stoppers, they should slide right out. Then just disconnect the cord from them and your good to go.

lol I'll take some pics for you.
I think you do have to take off the front cowling.. which will come right off with some gentle pulling. It sort of snaps down on the headlight header pannel. I know I did cause it was pissing me off trying to work around it.
I'd take some now, but its not at my house. I'll go there tomorrow and get some shots, then I'll post up some pictures for you. No worries!
