It's just that easy. You unbolt and remover the GT's and replace with the LX's.

there are no "bolts" required if you just change out the lenses. just pull off the GT lenses, be careful not to break, re-butyl, and press on LX lenses....5 min process.

scrap the car for the $5 its worth, take your money and buy a 300c poster, and dream of the day your dad gets out the pen and your mom hits the big one at bingo, and you move out the doublewide, and take you and your dale earnhardt commemorative glasses and buy a real car.

Kiss the rings Bitch.

Byaah.

if a 300c is ur dream car, ur nuts....the srt8's run low 13s and have VERY LITTLE mods available that are proven to be reliable....

so you go by urself a real poster, of a foxbody lifting the front wheels while the *****ty 300c gets the tires to spin a little...


if you want a REAL CAR with REAL HORSEPOWER you know where to go....or you can stick to your 300c V6 with snowflake 22s and purple tint and think your cars super fast......just pray ur alone when you line up at a light next to mustang, because you'll be so embarrassed your friends might leave you for making them look retarted

Question!

How are the GT lights colored? it it just painted or is it set in? if i sanded alot would i get past the painted part?

I wanted to do that then repolish them/ tint and put on these covers & paint them sonic blue (same color as car)

if not i guess i could use LS lights.. i just figure gt would look better because they are solid

yeah, its just paint on a piece of plastic, guessing urethane. whatever it is its black and once that paint gets scratched you can see it. as far as i know you cant take the painted piece off, youd just have to mask the openings and paint it on the lens.
