IMO, your only mistake was getting clear corner headlights. I agree that you needed better ones, but you should've just gone with stock Ford 2001+ smoked ones. They'd look better and you would've saved some money too.

Otherwise it's looking good.

That's the problem though, is that in order to have a "look", you have to have some contrasting colors. Think about it like if someone had an all black mustang with blacked out tint, headlights, taillights, rims with no chrome lip, black lugs, etc. Would it look good? No. You've gotta have a little varitey, some colors to compliment each other. And if you ask me, OEM smoked headlights are THE best looking 99-04 headlights out there period. None of this projector/clear corner*/LED/laser/rice bull****.

*Clear corners look good on black, but that's it.

I think your wrong, especially in the case of Myles. He has NO other colors on his car that arent silver/black/chrome/white.
Why would you have those awful amber lenses on the headlights then? It's an eyesore imo when everything else is clean. And the clear lens goes with the chrome and silver very well.

I give ya $hit a lot Myles, but nice stang. We'll get that thing tuned this summer, that'll be fun

Oh when you get those...IT'LL BE ON!... I love FR500's if you didn't already notice...

Milos Floppy was right, those rims changed the stance of the car completely it looks really sleek now, I like it...it's just begging for a damn rear bumper and some Spintech ProStreet Mufflers...

Thanks for the comments you guys, I figured it wasn't going to get too much attention but, you know. Next time I take a couple of pictures I'll make sure its bright *** sunny out, it looks 10 times better in the sun.

And hey, you guys recommended the rims, and it paid off.
