I just thought I'd try the lights out to see if I liked them, if I ever change them, I will go back with more projector lights.
As far as rice, I got in trouble on here for calling mega-sized retard wheels rice and was informed it was'nt rice, but bling instead.

I like the headlights. They are different.

The horizontal tape stripe looks out of place though. I think the car would look better with the tap removed and the vertical stripes made solid through that area of the molding.

Some nice 17" wheels would finish it off nicely

I'm glad atleast another person besides me likes the lights. Most new Fords have those style lights and they look killer when they're on at night.

You are right. The new F150 and explorer has basically the same lights.

its not that the lights themselves are rice or stupid.....its just they looks awkward (IMO) because they are black on the white car. If they were the chrome ones they'd probably fit right in.....especially with some chrome bullit wheels

its just a lot of contrast, though some would even say that the chrome is rice because they are "euro" or something..

Your car is looking good! I agree with most on the lights...I'm not fond of them. However, the rest of the car looks pretty good.
One word of advice - Keep the fog lights. GT's just don't look right with the lights missing, and aftermarket lights don't work either.

Here's how part of my old stripes looked, It was just too bare without the horizontal stripe.



It's imposible to have a car where everyone agrees on how it should look, I just did it to suit myself, after all, I'm not spending anybody elses money on it.

I like the headlights, just not on that car. You need the clear ones. The lights you have would look better on a darker car. Just my opinion, to each his own.

I like the head lights Not a fan of stripes that that seem to wrap the entire car... I'd stop the stripes at the hood, not put any on the roof and stop them at the trunk lid... no stripes on the bumpers. That's just me though.
