So I had these 'graters laying around and out of sheer boredom I put them on and cant decide if I like them or not. I got 2 other sets of LX's in the garage but wanted some opinions

Not awful, but I'd still go with the lx tails, unless your looking to sell the lx's

Keep the cheesegraters on there, and keep 'em the way they are. Makes 'em look tinted without actually losing any light output. I never cared for those painted-to-match tail lenses, myself.

the only reason I even wanted to try them is they have been wrapped up for like 10 years lol and are mint in condition to say the least...As far as painting them, with all the taping work involved, and my ignorance as far as painting skills...not to mention how clean they are, I wanted to keep them clean just in case but they're starting to grow on me

I know it throws up some proverbial "acceptible mustang red flags" but Im kinda diggin it

if this were, say, 1990 and I asked that, I would have probably been hunted down with torches and pitchforks

If you like em ...keep em. If you dont then change em. Your car is a expression of you.

I don't think they look too bad. They remind me of the SN Saleens, with the blacked out taillight trim.

I'm not a fan of the graders, but ithey sure look great on your car. My stang is very similar in color to yours, and I have lx's on it. I'm probably going to switch to the graders, it gives it a meaner look

If a car is a GT I prefer GT lights as long as...

1. They are the same color of the car.

2. They are in mint condition...no chips and no overspray on lenses.
