Like'me I have a pair on my Tungsten. To me it dresses up the rear a little with out being too gaudy. Of course I have also added the letters under the third brake light.

Please don't. Your car is my favorite Performance White. I love the simple contrast of the white and black along with the red interior accents. The chrome trim just doesn't look like it belongs on your car.
p.s. If I see 'em next weekend I'm gonna steal 'em and then hide 'em.

Dang, I don't want my car to no longer be your favorite Performance White one!
I don't know... would you? They're on now, so you can tell me what you really think!

To me its a matter of personal taste and also the overall look of the car. I went with the Moss and painted them black because I did not want any chrome other than the wheels. I really think a little chrome looks great on some of the darker color cars.

I put black inserts on mine. They are actually a DECAL, made exactly like the chrome inserts, but are cut out of a decal, not out of plastic/metal.
I found them from a store seller on ebay, and absolutely LOVE them. You can't tell that they're on the car, but it definitely provides separation to the tailights when they are lit

But it's very close to 50-50 with 24 yes and 26 no right now (sodaman voted no twice so one doesn't count), which is what I expected.

Okay, alrighty, so I'll vote. I agree it needs something. BUT, Chrome or Black. Funny, I was in the garage today masking them off to paint, BLACK, but stopped just short of doing it. Going to add the Lettering along the trunk lid first, then decide. I have the Xenon blackout panel, but don't really care for it. Going with the SHR. Plus I have the new rear medalion from SHR also. Soooooo, for me it's still 50/50, Chrome or Black. but for you, Chrome looks good. Now add the M U S T A N G lettering to go with it.

In good ol' LEO_06GT fashion, I'm going to do a poll on whether my car looks good with chrome taillight bezels, or not.
Originally, I bought a set made by V-Tech and they didn't fit right at all and they hit the bumper cover in the corners. This was unfortunate, because I really did like the look. I just got these from American Muscle today and wanted to get some opinions.
They fit perfectly, not at all like the V-Tech brand. They are thinner than the V-Techs and that's why they don't hit the bumper at the corners.
That said, I think they are very tasteful and really add to the retro look without adding any bling (plus they don't stand out as much on a white car). Here are several angles and a few with one on and one off. They are just laying in place, so they aren't on correctly and may look like they are crooked:
Attachment 20118 Attachment 20119 Attachment 20120 Attachment 20121 Attachment 20122 Attachment 20123 Attachment 20124 Attachment 20125

Thats the first time I have seen those on a white car, and I like it.

I usually don't like them at all and would give an automatic thumbs down, but I honestly don't think they look bad on your car. That being said, I still think your car looks better without them.

Considering you have black rims, a black spoiler, and a black trunk, it would make more sense if they were black.
NO on the chrome, and YES on painting 'em black.

Wow, the NO's took off, but it's funny how close it still is to 50-50 (% wise).
We tried it by Photoshop-ing the chrome and making it black and it wasn't noticeable at all.
Thanks again for all the opinions, but I think they really match the other chrome on the car perfectly. I think there's just the right balance of black and chrome now.
