Honestly, no one's gonna notice that gap 'cept 2011-14 owners.

And at night? SICK. I can't wait till these are everywhere (for purchase).

A for effort for slapping them on.

F for fitment- which is beyond your control in this instance. I'd have to replace the bumper asap.

While I applaud the upgrade to the 2013 taillights. What's up with all the Boss 302 stuff? That's not a Boss no matter what you put on it. Sorry it just bothers me when people roll around in poser rides. Drop all the Boss logos and you have yourself a very nice looking GT.

I agree. Take all that **** off. It KILLS your ride. Laguna seca boss stuff? Really? ummmmm.... No. Can't stand posers dude, if you want legit boss on your car, buy a boss.













Nice tailights though

I'm sorry op, but I have to agree with what the folks above say. I would get the whole bumper changed. I couldn't live with that gap. And at car shows, even if some folks aren't familiar with the 12 vs 13 lights, they WILL notice that gap and either blame poor design or bad mods.

And I 2nd the boss logos. Not necessary. IMO, it just ruined your clean 5.0

hmmm. I was waiting for it, new record I think: 26 comments before someone pointed out the boss impersonation.

While I wouldn't do it myself, it's your car.

While I'm not a huge fan of the boss specific emblems and badges..I do like the hood, chin spoiler/splitter, and louvers. Plus those tail lights look sweet at night

Lol

I think everyone was in awe of the taillights to even care up until now.

Agreed, its a nice looking car outside of all the Boss logos. Hell he's got more than my actual Boss does!

I did this back in June 2010 before Ford even annouced a Boss 302. My play when I bought the car was to make a retro 1970 Boss 302. So in reality, I did it first! AND it is a 302

IF you like your car thats all that matters. Some people have different values especially those that DID spend the extra money on a real Boss but that's ok - that's life.

Honestly I'm looking @ your pics some moreand the gap really doesn't look bad. IMO of course. Everyone has a different assh..i mean opinion right?

Looks great! I think a simple fabbed up plastic piece would take care of the gap and could either go matte black or the color of the car (for cars that are not black like mine.) Unless you just want to drop the money on the '13 rear bumper cover, that would probably be a good alternative. How big is the gap anyway?

would look better if the decals and rear didnt say 302 but I love everything else especially the tail lights. I'm gonna be on the lookout for a cheap pair.
