This may be a stupid question but anyone know why some of the hood pads are gray and some black? Anything to do with years or the reproductions were gray and originals black, etc? Curious...

It depends on how much Saki Wong Fong has had before he mixes the color......

I keep wondering about this listing. Does this guy have multiples and is laughing all the way to the bank? Seems like the same auction keeps selling and relisting.

Headlights recently sold for $2900.

There was a Ferrari dealer in Portland OR., years ago who artificially raised the price of Daytona's, buy advertising FAKE cars and had them listed as sold..
The daytona was the first Ferrari used in Miami Vice........

Sold per eBay. Unknown if the buyer paid but they haven’t been relisted as of yet. But multiple bids

I’ve watched a bunch of these in the last few months. Different sellers and different lights and they all seem to go around this range

Why would NOS headlights be so wanted for a Fox Body??
In the Dodge world if the car is a HEMI or a six pack car, that would be a reason, but no options for a Boss 429 in the Fox Bodies....
From what I see these cars do not bring the money to make these parts desirable enough to pay ridiculous prices for them
Am I missing something here?????

In a high-dollar build, some folks just want OEM quality vs china-made repop stuff. The biggest customers I imagine are 1993 cobra owners or Saleen owners where cars are selling for $50K and up. The OEM headlights are notorious for oxidizing and turning yellow, so it's hard to ask $75K for a low-mileage cobra with yellowed headlights. That crisp, clean clear headlight look does make a big difference IMHO


This might be a tad excessive however. But it is complete.

It's not just fox prices for parts that are getting ridiculous either....

If you need cobra correct lights only these are not them… but if you just want that Amber look these are going to pop and be the most eye-catching piece on your vehicle no doubt. 1999–2004 Ford Mustang Export Amber tail lights NOS with harness.

little late on this but i just found my old 93 gt hood in storage at my fathers and realized it has the stock insulation on it-didnt know they were so hard to find now...someone offered to buy it locally but i think it was a lowball - about what would they go for in good but used shape? paint is good on the hood - insulation all there but the black outer coating flaked off in some areas--fiberglass is intact

Couple hundred bucks, if that. Used isn't going to command what NOS pricing will bring. When those were in production, they were only $150ish. So really the value is in how much does the person want it.

Is there any harm in not running a hood insulator? Mine is looking all raggity, was thinking of just removing/tossing it and then cleaning up the underside of the hood.
