Don't go for the one-piece headlights, stick with the 3 pieces. Sometimes stock looks a whole lot better. Look at my before and after at:

I agree. I had 1 piece headlights. You can't even adjust them. If you get the ones with the projectors built in, they're even worse haha. I spent a day trimming the cut off shield for the projectors and adding washers to get the aim right. After all that they were better but still no 3 piece.

I like Purple Power degreaser.
And stick with factory style headlights.
Every 1 piece I've seen in person look like poo.

If i can make a suggestion? Maximum Motorsports clutch cable and quadrant kit for this car and your 98. Ill bet that hard ass pedal becomes much much easier. I have a centerforce dual friction and my pedal is softer then my friends cars with stock replacement clutches.

Agreed. I had a king cobra clutch set in another mustang and the cable made a huge difference.

I was selling him my stock air box and he didn't need it any more. The shipping company damaged his fox. He didn't go into detail though. Hope he gets it situated

Whoaaa , I just gone few hours and already post apocalypse up in here.

some bad new that made me freak out this morning, and I lost myself for few hours . Got the car delivery this morning, he put 2 peice of wood under a rails ( sorry I cant explain ), and when he back the car down, the peice of wood some how shoot right up and push my bumper off , damage my drive side bumper, well my policy I dint not add another $40 extra for insurance, so that my bad luck. The guy was new and he sorry. I went to my buddy shop and he put the bumper back like it was, but I will need a front bumper ( dont know if worth upgrade to GT bumper or keep the LX bumper.

about the car, I got up , the shady seller swap out few new part he put on ( brand new set of plug wire, stock radio, and dint include the whole set of 5.0/mustang emblem , the car is half ass job, look like ass that he can bondo and try cover with spray paint , no wonder he dint take pix of the other side. Look like he doing last min burn out, cause the tires look balt as . he also unfriend me on FB and block my phone call. Karma gonna get that son of bitch.

the car need ALOT of body work to line every thing up correctly, will need new suspension , and alignment and definally need a new paint job. It ride like ass . son of bitch told me he never smoke, I found so much cigaret thing all over the car, He sell car around san antonio tx .

some you might jump in, say why do I buy the car without seeing it first, well the black mustang 85 gt I also bought from him, and it was in very good condition, and everything is like he say , that why I bought another one from him. But he a crook this time.

ignore my garage , and I spend 1 hours clean the hell out off the inside. Armor all and stuff. This car will be my long term project, I will made it road worthy again, because I have passion for these fox body. The blue van 1995 ford windstar , my dad gave me when I was young, I will never get rid of it, even though 2 time head gasket job lol.
