just give the stock ones a nice clean up and it should look nice and shiney like your paint job.

I don't know why you're so concerned with what everyone thinks about your car. If you like the euro's, who gives a crap what anyone else thinks?

I prefer the stock tails, but the euro's arn't too bad. Go with whatever YOU like.

I dont care...
I just thought that I'd chop them on there, and personally I dont like the look of the stock ones at all...
I think now that I have chopped them on I like the Euros much better.

why dont u tear open the euros and have them painted to match your car, that would give it a more custom look. that or tint the LX tails

That was the original plan... Hrm...
The bodyshop recommended against it because of the hassle of re-sealing them and making that seal firm... Anyone here think they could manage it?

if you dont want to open them up then atleast spray the outside surface red or even tint them :thumbsup:

mdeleon
05-15-2005, 08:33 PM
when you tint or spray them aren't you supposed to spray the inside anyway??? but ye, i think you should tint either of them...but i liek the stock tails just the way they are...and it's true about the hassle of customizing the taillights...you need a lot of patience and make sure you're paying attention...TRUST ME!!! haha

JordanLotoski
05-15-2005, 08:34 PM
so easy to re-seal them..just heat the seal a bit and press together, then a bead of clear solicone...

I agree with the STOCK LX.

I also agree that the Euros would look alot better if they were colored to match.

Why dont you use PS to make them red, then decide if its worth the hassle?

I also agree that its your car and you should do what you like, and if other people like it, thats just a bonus.

Euro's are super ugly. Take the stock LX's and smoke them, or just smoke the reverse part.

Exactly what I was thinking. Then polish the shit out of the red part, and they'd look better than new.

Here is my opinion.

Euros = rice, on the mustang they aren't as bad as other cars. If you were to smoke them, maybe they would look pretty sweet.

Stocks = If you were to put those stocks on and polish them up nicely with buffer and such :drool: They would look so good it wouldn't even be funny. It would be shiney and glossy liek the rest of your car, match up well if you ask me.

Stock x 1000

But I would also suggest color matching your Euro's to better suit that sweet paint of yours!

Stock, then buy some tamiya candy apple clear red paint and re-spray your lights and then spray a UV blocking clearcoat and they'll be perfect.

Its his car, he doesnt have to agree, he can do what he wants.

IMO i dont think they suit the car, maybe if they were color matched it would make a huge difference, but from what i see now, stock is the way to go, but thats just from my POV, so do what u want :thumbsup:

my only suggestion would be....

Do not ruin your car with those....

If you don't like the LX ones, then pick up a pair of cheese graters (GT's) and paint em to match your car...

I really like the LX ones best though....

just remember, how often are 98% of people wrong :)


p.s.
i regret to inform you that if I do decide to go to a meet and your there with those euros on, in the name of all mustangs I will be forced to remove them from your car. i'm sorry, but i wont be able to help myself.

Well, I think you have your answer. Personally, IMO, if you're gonna stick with the euros, hit them with some tint, preferably a red color, to match the car.

rip
05-16-2005, 02:12 PM
IMO, neither of them look really good. I would smoke the stocks and then I think you'd have it made.

Third that notion.

For many models of euros, it does end up making the lights look a little cheap IMO. I like the stock ones but that idea above could be cool.

I voted for stock aswell, but its your car, so why wouldn't you do what you want with it, the paint idea sounds good, that PS chop looks kinda bad, but I don't think you could do it right with without being a master pro at PS, I'm willing to bet your idea will look much better when done.

I'm not a fan of cars with anything extreme that looks outta place, thats why I went for stock, the euros just stick right out, but this custom job will make them suttle and blend in with the car, should look really nice and clean.

Somehow they just don't look right on a domestic yet alone on any import. Unless you gain horsepower with those tailights, stick with stock.

So my idea is not going to happen. The guys at the body shop tried heating them taillights in order to get the lens off, and even with a sufficient amount they could not get them to budge. They were afraid of using any more heat in case they warpped the plastic or broke something, better safe than sorry....

Member DuPont said that hes gonna take my old lights and fix them up really nice, and try some special new compounds out on them and tint out some of the parts. So we'll see what he comes up with... BUT...

I drove by your car today (In the NW, i won't say what area) this afternoon and i have to say, it looked really good, minus the tezzas.
There's been tons of work done to it, and the tezzas cheapen the look of it.
Just my suggestion, remove them, and maybe do something else w/ the stock lights (smoke or tint maybe?)
