Default my car showed up today in germany!!!!

well it looks awesome and nothing happend to it while it was en route.

the body shop that repaired it from the accident a few months ago replaced one headlight and since my car is a 2000 model they put a chrome housed headlamp on it. thats fine and all but i have a smoked headlamp on my drivers side, LOL.

opinions im going to make a poll....
1. get another used smoked headlamp
2. find a used chromed headlamp
3. order smoked clear corners

I say get the regular smoked headlight. Why replace two lights when you can save money and just get one. Plus I'm not a huge fan of the clear corner ones.

i looked at the drivers side today and it has about a 1 inch crack on the front lense its always been there since i bought it but its leaking now. there is a lot of condensation built up.... im going to wait and see what the local mustang community can do for me someone may have a deal for me. which would save me some time and money.

I love the clear corners. Get ready for some stares, Germans love them.

got tired of waiting for a deal to fall on my lap so i ordered smoked clear corner headlamps today. they should be getting here next week gonna toss em in the oven and seal them with RTV real good. not going to have a repeat like my first set had.

my drivers side has a small crack on the front corner and its letting in condensation and my passenger light is a brand new but its chrome, gross.

i cheaped out on the smoked headlamps on my car bought a cracked one for 20 bucks and got a decent one for 40 bucks. now, im going back to clear corners. on a silver car clear corner headlamps are a must.
