I dunno...maybe I am being a gear snob, but I swear I haven't seen ONE set of aftermarket tail lights that doesn't look like it belongs on an 18 year old kid's Honda Civic.

Cheapens the look of the car so much.

I'm with Karl, and the very first response in this thread: Stock FTW.

STOCK IS STOCK

therefore it sucks

I wouldn't go back to stock, just cover it up or change for different aftermarket.

I do agree on the "18 yr old civic" comment being a bad thing.

Doooooo eeeeeeet

:lol:

So stock sucks on ANY car (I disagree), or just the Mustang? :scratch:

I have seen some of the cars in that thread and while dim, you can see the lights. Its all about prep work and light coats. I also know that they were done over stock bulbs and that when done over L.E.D. lights the look is very cool, I will look later to see if I can find some pics.

mpsautosalvage.com specializes in wrecked mustangs. I've never gotten anything from them, but i've only heard good things.

I completely agree with this. I HATE when I can't see brake lights either because the douche bag doesn't check that s/he has lights out (any light for that matter) or because they are so blacked out.

Um... ok.



I'm just razzin AL

Tig, I don't don't know what the aversion is that you seem to have to the stock tail lights...this is, after all, a fucking Mustang we're talking about, and in the world of automotive design, the three vertical bars on the tail lights of a 'Stang are about as iconic as shit gets.

I gave you a link to some fresh, smoked stock designs...they'd even integrate well with the headlights you got there...but the tail lights on a 'Stang are just one of those things that if you fuck with it, it never quite looks right. You don't paint a smile on the Mona Lisa, because the mouth is what's special about that painting...dig? The lights are a defining character aspect of the Mustang's design. I can see refining it, massaging it, tweaking it a tad...but abandoning the iconic "3 vertical bar" thing is a vulgar move, and will never quite look "right" (again, strictly this man's opinion).

Ok its hard to argue with that!
