Those tails are awful!! 
I'm not a fan of the headlights personally, I prefer the stock smoked ones...but that's me.
As far as CL...There are some fruitcakes there but you can ignore the morons and you probably have a good shot at selling them. Just meet them at a neutral location and not your house.
Ebay has proven to be WORTHLESS in the past year unless you are absolutely GIVING something away and then the greedy eBay bastards charge you up the **** in fees and then their other company Paypal takes a second shot at running the train on your **** in their fees. I usually try craigslist first and then ebay as a last resort before it goes in the trash. You could also try them on here first...at least you know everyone viewing the ad is a Mustang enthusiast....

I think paypal fees are fine. Their percentage is about the same or less than those hogs at master card or visa, and I don't have to pay x amount per month for a merchant account that I only use on occassion. Plus I don't have to screw with (potentially counterfeit) money orders. I sit at home in my bathrobe, know the payment is good, sweep it to my bank, and its done. I love paypal myself.

An MCTC Christmas
(With apologies to Clement Clarke Moore (1779-1863))
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the thread,
Not a TMS’er was posting, as all were in bed.
The Mustangs were parked for the night with care,
In hopes that new engine mods soon would be there.
The owners were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of crushing chevys danced in their heads.
And Gary and Lee and Jimbo and Willie,
Had just shared some egg nog and drank themselves silly.
When out in the drive their arose such a racket,
Boss drivers leapt from their beds, to see if it was their owner’s packets.
But it was just Joe in his UPS truck,
Laughing and saying “HA! Fooled you stupid *****!”
The evident traction on the perfectly straight road,
Made all drivers wish that their engines were “blowed”.
Then what to the wandering posters should appear,
But all of the moderators, and it struck a great fear.
Armed with language filters, so lively and quick,
They shouted “you fail, we know all of your tricks!”
More rapid than the Ford GT their pm warnings they came,
And they revved and they braked, and called the posters by name.
AlsCobra, Shelby08, lalayla, and texastbone,
08GTCandyApple, HOSS429, BlueNotch, and RatherB.Blown.
thatgirlkristina, 05StefferStang, 07S197, and cdynaco,
StangMahn, codeman94, BoogieNights, and mustangGT90210.
Threatening a ban on them all, even denlem,
Only 2k7gtcs is safe, as he is now “one of them”.
As z06’s before the GT500’s they flee,
And camaros at sighting Mustang GT’s, down their pants legs they pee.
The posters they sat and they sucked on their thumbs,
Wondering which thread locks, soon were to come.
And then in an instant, they heard a keen whine,
The sound of a Mustang, sent shivers up their spines.
Leaping to the windows and turning around,
They spied an 08 green pony, tires pawing the ground.
It screeched to a stop and the driver leapt out,
Checking for admins, he looked all about.
A bundle of parts he had flung over his back,
And he looked like a mechanic as he pulled out a jack.
He had x-pipes and h-pipes and cold air intakes,
Long tubes and axle-backs that would make the earth shake.
Pirellis and Dunlops and rotors and pads,
And even a Whipple, that will make chevy boys sad.
For the Boss boys some roll bars and a key that is red,
Plus a five point harness and a helmet for the head.
For show - louvers and stripes and nice metal flake,
And shiny chrome wheels for appearances sake.
He spoke not a word but went straight to his work,
Shooting down liberals and all those posting like jerks.
And tilting his head slightly off kilter,
He gave posters a day, free from all filters.
Then he jumped in his Bullitt, put his foot to the floor,
The engine ignited, and gave out a great roar.
And they heard him exclaim, as his Mustang hauled-a**,
“Merry Christmas to all, and to all ethanol-free gas!!”
(If this poem has entertained, it was purely by accident,
If it has insulted anyone, it was probably intentional.)

Just realized that they sent me the wrong tail lights. I had asked for the smoked version and they sent me the black ones.

"I know it looks bleak. I've been there. Ten years ago waking up in
bed next to a woman like this would've sent me running for the Phisohex."
"This food was in the shower with you? "
" Mmmm hmmm, I prepared it as I bathed."

I went from being officially a redneck to straight up white trash. Went from having a washing machine on the porch to now having a washing machine, a dryer, and a hot water heater on the porch.
And still don't have hot water dammit.
