These are carbon fiber headlight covers....kindof give it that "smoked" appearance but for much less $$$

I've always liked them and received compliments.

Err, I was debating whether or not to throw my blackouts back on the car because one of my Cobra taillight bezels mysteriously dissapeared. MoneyPit you just made me want to even more.

Although it would be too much of a shame to cover up my headlights.

Decisions, decisions.

I don't really like the smoked headlights, and I can get the blackouts for free. At some point I may drop the blackouts and get clear corners, but for now the free blackouts are gonna be my thing. Plus the car I'm picking up saturday is white so I think the blackouts will look sweet

Moneypit I love your car man I had a few people tell me to use the Nightshade paint too, but I think your car looks sweet with the rear blackouts. It really makes the rear end look nice.

I love the smoked on dark cars. It makes them look mean. I wish I had my car all black with a dark tint.

5? That would make it 1999. You must have meant 15, because they went out in about 1989!

They're hard to pull off on our cars, since they came from the factory with them (or at least it seemed that way for a long time ) -- but other cars like the 4-eye cars they really look good on.

I used to sport them too years ago on my current car as well as my old black fox body. I always liked them, but my GTS ones would always break the tab that held it to the headlight. I just got tired of buying new ones. They definitely went from being on every car, to being virtually extinct around here anymore. I still think they look good though.

They're still pretty popular down here in FL, just don't see them that often on Mustangs.

Well Ive been tosing around the decision, Black outs or smoked lences. Still cant make up my mind. What would you guys do?







Yes I know the pics suck...but the weather just wont give me a break to wash/wax and take good pics.

Im not sure though. The previuos owner of the car put Euro tails on it it really sets my car away from the other yellows around here. ANd i think smoked and blackouts would look really stupid with the euros.


P.S. Yes I know....they're ricer tails. But they set my car apart from all the other Yellow mustangs(there are 2 with the EXACT same paint/strip scheme in my city) ANd Ive grown to like them, and in the end its what YOU like on YOUR car.(sorry if no one really cares...just been flamed for the tails before, so Im used to defending them)

5.0 GT Kid. I have a pair of Black outs that I dont use anymore. If you want to just pay for them to be shipped I will send them to you. I dont really like the way they look on my car anymore, I prefer my clear lenses.
