Looks mean but why didn't you do the orange sidemarkers too? And tint your windows! And paint your brake calipers black!

The car looks great, but why loose headlight function over the "cool" factor? I don't get this part.

For you to assume I did it for the cool factor is pretty ignorant. Also by loose you mean lose, spell check before you call someone out.

I didn't do it for the "cool" factor. I did it because its the look I'm going for on the car. I also updated the bulbs, I know that its not a drastic increase but its enough to where they are functional again. Also I do very little night driving as it is.

And if it does become a burden, guess what I can also remove them as they pop on and off. Get it yet?

whoa easy buddy. That said, isn't the "look you're going for" the same thing as the cool factor? lol...

either way, I like it. It matches your car. I miss my black car sometimes. Love your rims too.

"murdering" a car out is a cool factor btw, serves no true function.

I only asked; not "calling you out". I'm too old for that kind of thing; best left for the youngsters. Seems a lot of folks choose to tint their taillights/headlights and windows against local laws because it's a look they are after. My son learned his lesson when the police presented him with a $100.00 ticket for tinting his taillights; said they could not bee seen from a required distance, and caused a traffic hazzard, as folks would not be able to see his brake lights at a safe distance. I figured the same for your headlights.

These cops apparently don't understand either. Your Mustang is sharp.

esh harsh tickets in your area, all the tinting laws we have in michigan are just fix it tickets. And if it was ever the case i could easily remove them.

When someone says cool factor its like they think im doing this to get noticed by other people. to make them goo ooo and ahh.. Not at all. I could care less what other people think of my car. People always do stuff to make it their own and turn it into something they like. So yeah if i want my car to look a certain way because thats how i like it, of course im going to change the aesthetics.

Look, we all love our cars to look cool, because if we're honest I think we'd have to admit we are all bent on someone approaching us and saying, "Dude, that thing is BADASS!" I mean, really ask yourself why you started the thread to post BADASS pictures. Otherwise we could just buy a Camaro and try to make it fast. Not trying to call you out either, but compliment the look, and give you what you were asking for, someone to say
BTW, that's why I post pictures when I think Khaleesi is lookin fine!

Looks decent. Not my cup of tea, but with the tint and blacked out side markers it should look sharp. Where are you located in MI?
