For those who have these items installed, can you post what brand/price you paid, pictures, and how you like them? I'm trying to get a feel for who has the best fitment/look/price. Thanks in advance!

I got mine at Moss Mustang:

I love the look of the blacked out rear and the fog lights. I would go with the blacked out headlights but I am sure that would cause some unwanted attention from the Law.

Semper Fi,
Kris

I got the black out on the tail done just in the stick on to see what it looked like, Don't think it would look good if I did the taillights too.I'm going to get the tail and the hood painted as soon as I get the new spoiler and chin. I was looking for something different from the stripes.

I would imagine that honeycomb filler would be hard to keep clean. I would think that the honeycomb would trap road debris in the little gaps. Looks nice though.

I used a peice of flat black vinyl on mine along with the smoked tail light overlays from ninosport.com and it looks good. But black shows every spec of dirt and with the way the air circulates behind the vehicle it can be a pain to keep clean. I can post pic's later, I am currently at work.

I found the same thing, it's a pain in the butt. But I love the way it breaks up the rear I'm going with a GEF spoiler and hopefully it will still look good.

I don't have the complete blackouts, since it would look pretty dumb on my car but I got the partial tail light covers. IMHO it makes the rear look alot less 'fat' by making the lights look slimmer.

Where did you get the partial blackouts from (Is that like a 50% tint or something)? It looks like you also have a chrome bezel for the taillights, is this correct?

No more difficult to keep clean than the original 69-70 Honeycomb rear panel..

Unless you're rocketing down dirt roads frequently, normal washing will remove whatever buildup there may be.

For me - it's worth it. I loved the 69-70 Boss and Mach1 cars. This helps make my tribute to those cars complete.

I also have the panel from Silver Horse Racing. It fits great and is easy to install. I tried several other panels. They were hard to fit, needed to be painted or just didn't look right. Anyone have the Silver Horse, or any other, fuel door?
