this is how upset you should be if he had a 64 1/2 mustang and put those same lights on it. AL's version is no more "iconic/dont destroy fords design" than a honda civic or toyota corrolla. get over it.

Some changes to iconic cars I like - others I don't; it boils down to taste (and perhaps how far the mod strays from the original). Also, "frenching in" a light with a cover, and replacing a light with a completely different one IS different....AND a matter of taste.

He asked for opinions. I think it's a really nice looking car; classy. I think there's only two details that "cheapen" the classic looks of such a clean, classy car, and I expressed what those two things were, and why I thought they "cheapened" the appearance of the car, IMHO: 1) Bug Shields are often on recreational vehicles, not sports cars. 2) Clear LED lights are associated with Honda/Import cars, and are generally thought to be visually incongruous with muscle cars. If AL is happy with the car as it sits, my opinion shouldn't faze him, or I can't imagine why he even asked others for their opinion. Nonetheless, he seems to have taken issue with my opinion, so I'm getting a little tired of defending it (I shouldn't have to), as I'm sure AL is tired of hearing it.

Nah dude, if it came off that way, I apologize. Like I said, I just thought those two things hurt [cheapened] the look of an otherwise VERY nice ride...that's all, and again; only in my opinion, which is only worth what you consider it to be.

Apology accepted...Dude, you said my car was "Pep Boys" and "KMart", how else would one take that? Not positive affiliations to say the least...
