Wow, those light bezels really ruin the look of the front end. Makes it look unbalanced since they no longer match the other lights. The brake lights also look trashy as well. I think the two best angles of the mustang are front and rear. Those mods would kill both. Good work

GT. I already have issues with driving 25/35 around town, so I don't want to get much more power to the wheels.

Haha, nice. I really wish'd I'd gotten a GT, but I couldn't afford it. (Extra 4 grand isn't worth it.... would be nice to have though).

Uh, they ARE blinkers.

These aren't the brakelights.

:confused:

That's FOR the blinker. It's not for braking. I've seen a Mustang with those and it looked pretty damn cool.

Yeah, my Cougar does that and it's just about the coolest thing I've seen on a car. It also has the vacuum-raised headlights (turn them on and part of the "grill" rotates up to show the lights).

That looks 1965.

That's part of the appeal of the new Mustang. I see a lot of them with the fog lights like that and it doesn't take much away form the overall look of the car. It doesn't add much, either, but to each his own

you know what those lights remind me of? those DOT trucks with the huge hazard lights pointing you in the direction to go

I was gonna get those on my old '94 camaro but never did cause it would have been a real PITA to hook it all up right. I wouldnt mind having them on my Cobra...

I think it would be cool if they hooked those up so that they gave an indication of how hard you were braking...just the inner lights for lightly braking, full on for panic stop.

bmw = have that

What model is that available on?

AFAIK, Mercedes' new S-class also has this same system.
