Well they got here early this morning.... very fast.... I give props to MustangExtras for answering all my questions very fast and getting the product here fast. Anyway.... I know theres been a little question on fitment issues with the GTSs. And yes I did have some. The foglights fit perfectly, took half a second to put in and look amazing. Taillights fit very well after some tweeking. I found that after I got the velcrow on there I could move them around and place them as I wanted. The passenger side headlight fit perfect as well, but the driver side did not at all. After jamming it in there and finally getting it to stay I took a short drive to see how everything would hold up. Everything was perfect accept for the driver side headlight, it popped out. Then I noticed why it was popping out. The flap that goes under the hood and then sticks straight up was much much longer on the driver side than on the passenger side, about half an inch. So I trimed it down with some siccors and, walla! perfect. I took several test drives and took her up to 90 on the highway, nothing moved an inch. I've thinking maybe they leave them long so you can trim if needed. Anyway, they look awesome and fit awesome. Great product. I'd highly recommend them to anyone, esp with a black car.

These look absolutly sick on black cars. Also when I told MustangExtras I would recommend purchasing from them, they told me they will be raising the price on these very soon so if you've been waiting to pull the trigger on these, just do it. I love them

I'lll go ahead and save someone the trouble

I'll have pics up very soon!

This should help everyone out a little. This is one of the taillights when the brake is applied.

One more thing for anybody who is purchasing these... there is a little piece of rubber that lines the taillight pieces that helps keep them in place. I took one off and cut about 2 inches off of it and put it back on. I then used the 2 inch piece I cut off on the front driver side headlight to keep it perfectly in place. Its working perfectly. Sits flush up against the headlight and doesn't move an inch even when you try to move it. I'll prob end up doing the same thing to the other side.

O and by the way I absolutly love these things!

I have the GTS and they did have to be trimed in order to fit correcrly. The clip that goes under the hood was sl long that they popped the covers off when I closed te hood. I think I cut about 1/4 inch off the top.

Looks great, I just ordered the fog light covers and I can't wait to install them! Does anybody know where you can get similar covers for the front turn signals and rear side markers?
