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).

Lon, I am not a big fan of that body style tail lights either, they look off to me. Here is a better post about what, how and results with this product, and if you really dont wanna be bothered with it...send them to me, I am off work all summer and I will do yours when I do my lights off of my 85.

Do you really think that I didn't see smoked stock tails? Do I seem like someone who needs help finding accessories? Don't I have the right to my tastes and opinions? You talk as if I don't have the right to change the "iconic" look of my property. I've stood up for right to your opinion but why do you have to be so insulting and demeaning? At any rate, I'm not in love with these tails either but they are much better that what came on it and they are super bright! Oh and BTW my name is amber lamps, please refer to me by my screen name. |
