Original Style Tail Lights

The one thing I wish they would do with the GT500 is to user rear tail lights that are more reminiscent of the originals. To use tail lights similar to the originals would require a break between the taillight sections where the trunk opens but I don’t imagine running wiring for those lights would be much harder than running the wiring for the center brake light. I liked the rear shot Bob took of the GT500 so I took a copy and modified it with Photoshop to kind of give an idea of what a more original GT500 rear light setup might look like on the new GT500’s (original and modified pictures are attached). The editing is a little rough since I did it in about 30 minutes but it at least gives the general idea of what I am thinking. What does everyone else think?

I like the thought of having wide Shelby-style taillights back there, but I already think the current taillights are too big. Making them bigger would look weird!

The tail lights would look better with four segments instead of five and narrower, height wise.

I agree completely. The only thing that I don't like about the current mustang is the ENORMOUS tail lights. But I think that style tail light is a good idea. Maybe if they were made significantly shorter it would look good.
