I'm liking the cleaner lines of the GT500 one now that it's on there.

Never did. Really liking the round twin tips. Not sure square would look right.

OK , thanks ... I've been looking for some caps that fit my Spyder's and your wheels looked very similar from the angle in the picture ...

Now why did you have to go and post this!

/mumbling under my breath......$% 7$%^& another mod I need to add to the &$&*@$^ list!

We have similar taste! I have the front fascia, just haven't done the rear yet.
Also have same wheels (CT-R brand)

What rear deck "cover" if you will is that? digging that!


And the tail light photochop really does make a difference, woulda never thought of that! like that as well.

The rear deck cover meaning the black area & license plate? That is Saleen that goes along with the bumper to relocate the plate up there.. same used on Heritage, Gurney, & Parnelli packages.

100% correct, assuming that was the question.

Not in this thread (That's the SHR panel in the "before") There are other pics floating around while the car was in transition (did the new trunk panel/plate first, because it's sort of hard to transport the car minus a license plate

That's one of the cleanest looking rears on a 'stang I've ever seen. The before wasn't too bad, but the after is just plain sano. Did you paint the tail light divisions and surrounds yourself? If so, what kind of paint did you use, and is it holding up? How long have they been painted?

Thanks

THe tailights have AVS brand covers, which come in a translucent smoked color. Yes, I painted them myself. Washed them, scuffed them with a scotchbrite pad, and painted them with VHT Trim Black (in a rattle can). Been on the car for several years, and the paint still looks as good as the day it was done (love VHT products, every one I've used has worked as advertised)

Nice Love that look, and installed one on my 07 about 3 weeks ago. Give the car a much cleaner look than with plate in bumper.

edit- i took the liberty of editing your pic- what do you think? couldnt that be a pretty easy option if someone just popped out these lenses? i did a little chop on mine a long time ago, still would like to try it for real sometine...saw a olds aurora with little almost unnoticable backups right beside the plate, thinking something like that could work for backups...just a thought, curious how others would feel about it...
vht makes a red nightshades tint that i was thinking about trying out. the only problem would be the legal issues from not having clear reverse lights.

street rodders sometimes use lighted license plate bolts, or license plate frames with rows of LEDs- found some on ebay a while back...

I think tint would look funny as theres no 'reflector' prismatic look to the backups...just to 'try it', the cheap red reflective tape would give a pretty good idea of what it would look like.
