Just did the taillights too. At first I didn't think it was going to look good considering the tint doesn't cover the outside edges but it turned out well.
A bit of advice for anyone attempting this. Use a heat gun! Where the taillights curve by the first reverse light is a pita. And patience is key!
This kit came from Extreme Vinyl on eBay custom cut for my car. The whole kit was less than $50 and includes every light.

Finally put on the pony badge. I'm not going for a sleeper look by any means, just like the pony badge better than the GT one.
In case you're wondering what's under the faux cap it's this..

To get the cap off easily requires A LOT of heat and something that doesn't scratch the paint to pry it off. Trust me....I know you can see those little tool marks. FML!

Thanks Burton! I can't believe I went with the round ones for so long...they look horrible with the rear valance when side by side.

Not sure about the legality of the headlight tint....or the window tint...or the front plate delete....shhhh.
I bought a full light tint kit a little while ago when I thought I wanted it, but now considering the amount of light it blocks I'll probably be removing it soon. I just hate the look of the stock headlight housing. It does look good on the marker lights though.

And yeah, no worries about the tint, front plate, etc... we ALL do it

Yeah Roush stepped up and took care of everything. Sent me a brand new set and so far they're good. I added the FRPP xpipe to them recently and the sound is 100 times better.

I wrapped the silver dash panels in carbon fiber. Not perfect but I like it.
I installed Polk 5x7 DXi570's in the doors too, 100000's times better than the stock garbage that came in the car. Really easy to do with the instructions and wire harnesses supplied by Crutchfield.
Also put in LED reverse lights and license plate lights.
And this is the mod that gave me the most horsepowers.....
a billet shorty antenna.
Thanks to my lovely lady for getting me that stuff for my bday. She really knows how to feed the addiction lol.
