Hey, I thank you for having smoked lights that still function. I hate it when someone goes for a look, only to completely compromise safety in the process.

Thank you! Exactly my point, I looked at those cars on the forum and I guarantee that you can't see the tail lights during the day on some of those cars. I went for "light smoke" on purpose and I'm sticking with it. Maybe, I'll get some K-Mart graphics and some blue flashing lights to make my car match what Avatard says about it.

That smoked over paint for the tails does work. did it on a car years ago. I think you can get glossy and matte finishes too.

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.

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

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.
