Default chin spoiler & smoked headlights

picked up a chin spoiler from Ford yesterday, $57, and used my taillight paint to do my headlights. headlights still glow at night and i can see just fine.

Looks good. $57 bucks is also a killer price. I paid that for mine and its at dealer cost minus 10% markup. I think every mustang needs the chin spoiler with the v6/gt front bumper. Ever think about getting a grille delete?

what kind of paint are you refering to regarding the taillight paint. I have never seen/heard of such a product, so I am just curious about the whole concept. Whatever it is, it seems to work well.

for wheels, black FR500s deep dish in the back with some nice wide tires.

as for the paint it's called NiteShades by a company called VHT. i put 2-3 coats on and then a coat of clear.

You gotta love that chin spoiler. It looks great on white. And here I go again with: Put some black stripes on that baby and she will look great.. LOL I tell everyone that for some reason.

well there's a guy with a white mach 1 in my neighborhood that's really nice and he has a black spoiler, i already get **** for trying to look like him haha. but i like the wingless look, always have. i have my stock spoiler still.

as far as the hood, we have a special paint at work that has a flattening agent in the clear coat so we're gonna use that to put black on the hood, i'm thinking just the scoop.

I think summitracing still sells it. I used it on my truck tailights. I think it looks real good. I didn't think of clear coating though. Might do that to my stang tailights.
