Just wondering if anyone is a fan of the stock fox gt taillights. Post some pics up here of nice ones. I have mine on my car and want to put lx ones on, but I like keeping things looking original so have not yet.

Here's a pic of mine. I'm going to eventually switch them out for LXs though because I don't care for em.



Here's one I photoshopped of LX tails. Looks much better.

Not a big fan of the cheese gradders either. LX's look much cleaner.

I hate the LX tail personally, and everyone has them. Part of a GT is the graters...gotta love em. one of my favorite parts of the GT. Only LX i would own would be a notch. The cobra's are nice too though.
almost forgot...

I had planned on changing my lights to the LX's but after a while the GT's grew on me. Now there is no way I would change them.

I was with a few friends a while back and we seen a black GT and my friends were going to bet me the car was a 4 cyl or a lx with GT skirts slapped on there because it didn't have the gradders..........Then the owner started it up....that aint no 4 banger they said...I stood back and shook my head at theese guys.

Just buy pinstriping at the store and ta-da.

I used to like my stock GT lenses, but I swapped 'em out for Cobras. I still prefer the GT lenses over the LX ones, at least on my car.
