New black out panel and new shots

Hey everyone! I got a new black out panel awhile ago and upgraded to Brembo brakes and painted them Ford blue. Here's some new shots.

Very Sweet! I have wanted to do the quarter windows like that but the concern was visibility, do you notice any significant loss there?

jacostang, if you set your mirrors just right, you won't lose any visibility. I had also looked at these for a long time and was thinking of how to retrofit some 11+ mirrors to improve visibility, but then another member here sent me a link with how to set your mirrors for zero blind spot and now I'm not concerned at all. It takes a couple days to get used to the setting, but I love not needing my quarter windows for visibility anymore and will probably be ordering a set of the covers myself, now that I know how to set my mirrors .

Thanks! I had to get used to the quarters being covered. I readjusted my side mirrors to eliminate blind spots and look over my shoulders every time. It's not bad. I have Agent 47 mirrors and they're smaller than OEM so you should be ok.

Wow that is a gorgeous combo, just enough without going overboard & tacky. What tail light trim is that?

Thanks! I set my camera on a tripod and took pictures of the door/hood open and one with them closed. I then used Photoshop to merge the two pictures and select the area I want to make transparent. Took less than 5 minutes to Photoshop them.

Thanks! I bought the taillight bezels on Ebay. They were chrome but I painted them black. Here's the same ones...

Thanks! The chin is part of the California Special fascia. I got the grill from SD Mustang Accessories.

That is a *clean* Mustang! And may I say that your plate is quite excellent?

SLICK. Like Shotokan said, just the right level of mods. What grille is that? How do you have the driving lights mounted?

I love the black out panels got them on my GT, did you get the inside covers too? So that you can't see the 3m tape on the inside?
