Here's my 2000 foggy lights being replaced by smoked headlights offered by Blue Oval Industries.

Next: installing my FRPP IUP pedals and buying tires for my black DD rims.

After that: subframe connectors, control arms, MGW shifter, or grille delete.

Very cool! I'm considering smoked one's for my 99 as well. I'll keep the stock ones though. Don't want to throw away original parts

Those really change the whole attitude of the car. Get a Mach 1 Grille Delete and Chin Spoiler and look incredible!

the smoked headlights were one of the best improvements on the 99-04 Mustangs.

Beat ya to it.....chin spoiler sitting in my room.

Mustang Tuning told me the 3 piece grille deletes will be available after Jan 11th.

I'm looking at touch up paint for some chips that are on my bumper.

another improvement on the 2000 would be to get a roush spoiler on it. It's alittle bit taller than the stock, so it just adds a more muscular look... I'll eventually be getting saleen front and sides but don't know what rear I want yet. (not too fond of the saleen one b/c I want it to say "MUSTANG" on her)

Have you beefed up the exhaust yet?

Here's a small pic of the rims I got(Sorry, I'm still learning how to use the digital camera).

They're 17X9 and 17X10.5s Black Deep Dish Bullitts.....no tires yet. Trying to sell my 17X8 tires to a friend of mine....use the money of the 4 - 17X8 tires to pay for 1 - 17X10.5 tire .

Still looking for hood scoop.....I'm leaning towards a black hood scoop, as Performance Red is not one of the best cars to look for external parts(However, I know Scothew has more of a complaint with mystichrome parts).

No exhaust yet. I was looking at some control arms that claim to be adjustable, that way I could get just a little "rake" on my car's stance. That being said I like seeing the "muscle" in my Stang, so a more aggressive/muscular spoiler would be nice.

Polished DD Bullits were my first choice and black was my second. When the price of the black rims plummetted, I jumped on it, and I'm happy with my deal/decision.

Black Bullitts are Fantastic on a Red Mustang. Especially yours, with the Smoked Lights. Definately get the Grille delete from CDC (that was the best appearance mod I did for my 99GT)No more cleaning that honeycomb for shows!! Add a black chin too.

I would say get a cdc shaker hood but they are way too overpriced for the lack of perf. you get...

Hmmm... my dad has an 01 Tropic green, and I have a 00 Tropic green, and I am kind of partial to the clear headlight.

The smoked ones get pitted too easily.

nice job on the lights. I just had to go the "polish them up" route until I can afford the smoked lights!

Looks very good on yours

Yup, I love the Smoked headlights.

I'd defintely go with a grill delete, but not so sure about the fake scoop.
