I went to the LA auto show today and saw the 2013 mustang as well as a grabber blue 2013 gt500. Not sure how I feel about the GT tail lights. I was all about them in pics. Conversely I rather liked the front end and hood which didn't thrill me in pics. Unfortunately my wife fell in love with the 50k King Ranch. **** just paid off her Tundra! The king ranch is an amazing hunk of truck.

I like the shape and the side by side pics really made me decide that it looks good the way the light up is a bit dodgeish. Needless to say I can't afford to trade in just for taillights probably wait till '15.

When I was in Daytona, I learned that they retrofitted those tail lights without changing the bumper cover. However, the lights aren't a perfect fit due to the bottom contour being slightly different. If you look closely, it leaves a small gap. From 20 feet away you wouldn't even notice but to do it completely right, you'd have to change the bumper cover.

It was already obvious to me that they leave a gap. I am not the one that needs that fact pointed out. I posted the picture to illustrate that yes it does leave a gap but they will fit!

Roush has already replaced that bumper with a 2013. If I can find the pic I will post it later.

Don't fit right & look like crap on anything but a 2013!
Although the gap is not so noticeable on a Black car.
