Here is what it looks like blacked out.. Made a big difference for me..

 

I like them, makes the lights look like three seperate units to me. Sequentials would really stand out.

 

A nice retro-mod, but I like the "stealth" look of the new 'stang in black. The stainless sorta disrupts that too much. I'm with the "it'd look better in black" crowd on this car at least.

 

That looks great Michael... I love the black!!!!
In silver it just looks fake!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It doesn't look right.

 

Either way they look nice. How is their quality?

 

yeah I love it, I won it back in highschool when Mortal Kombat II had just came out.

 

I have sequentials on it as well, it really highlights them

 

pretty good they are solid one piece stainless steel and are firm, I thought at first they would look real fake but thats because I had stuck them on with duck tape because if I removed the 3M I wouldnt have been able to return them, but that way they werent pressed flat against the lights and once you put them on right they go on nice and flush and mold to the curvature of the lights and look like they belong, I think they actually do look worse in the pics then they do in person for some reason and they are growing on me so for now I think I will keep them until something better comes out or I get sick of them....

 

thats low...... oh wow look what I found

and I think it deserves a bump

 

I like them and I think it looks good with the black. It also creates a symmetry with the chrome tail pipes below and the GT badge in the middle ...

 

That looks great. Reminds me much much more of the 70 rear.

 

THANKS RICHARD!!

And you are right, I do like them. I would like to have them painted yellow to maych the car though. I think color coding to match the car and make the tail ight 3 piece sections, stand out more would be the way to go.
If someone can photochop that, it would be cool to see.

 

Chrome

 

I've had mine on for two weeks and I love them!! Nice rrobello.

 

That looks great, Michael. Thanks for the pic. Any more? I'd love to have a set, but that price... wow. Might have to break down and buy some anyway, though.

 

I spent several hours carefully installing the plastic trim on mine. When complete I stepped back for a look. I just was not me so I pitched it in the trash. I guess its one of those Different Strokes For Different Folks.

 

I did the same thing, it wasnt that I didnt like the idea I didnt like the fact that it looked fake....these look much better

 

Me too. I put on a kit from ebay. I kept it on for a total of 12 hours. It just looked funny.....a single piece painted black would be a different story though.

 

Just my $0.02

- I like chrome/silver/stainless trim on these cars.
- I don't like when only a little bit is trimmed.

If I were going to put chrome/stainless on my car to bring the retro look out, I would...

- Fog light bezels
- "chrome" upper front bumper section (I'll play with photo editing later, but I'm talking about the section of the top of the front bumper that sort of extends out farther than the rest)
- "chrome" window trim
- "chrome" mirrors (not needed, but would complete look)
- "chrome" upper rear bumper (like the front bumper, the upper section near the seam down to the line right at the top of the licence plate)
- "chrome" wheel well/fender trim (like mirrors, not needed but would complete the look)

I'm not sure of the quality, but I did see some "Chrome" spray paint at K-Mart the other day. But for the bumpers, I would use a piece attached to the top of the bumper, as paint wouldn't give you a definitive line near the edges where the bumpers blend into the fenders. If done right, it won't look and should blend in with the retro look of the car.

I think it depends on the look you are going for.

Retro? Then chrome may be your route. But I think black could be used for retro too, for example doing a blacked out Mach 1 or Boss look.
