Looks great, i just asked for some pics of a mustang with these exact projector lights. Wasn't too sure how they'd look on a stang, but they look great. Good luck with the rest of your mods.
Did you install the headlights yourself? If so, was it a pain and did you need any special tools?

no i didnt install them... had the body shop do it. one thing you should know though, is that i already noticed condensation in the lights sometimes... so problly be a good idea to re-seal or double-seal or something to the projectors.

ya from what i hear the HID's are a NO-GO on the projectors... which sucks because i would like to have more light in the future. but they put out a decent amount but its wierd because they kinda "SPREAD" the light out, instead out pointing it in one direction. ya as far as money goes... eh... i problly wont put much more into this car.... once i can afford it i am gonna buy a Cobra Vert. dont worry i wont forget about my V6 buddies :P
p.s. just installed my springs today... paid 200$ for the installation and alignment. car has a nice looking stance right now. hopefully it drops more within the next few weeks like i hear it will... definitly rides ALOT nicer... before i put the springs in it rode like a freak horse!

About those projectors, they're very simple to install anybody can do it, literally. I've had them for 6 months but recently took them out. All ya got to do is remove the two retaining brackets behind the headlights and they come right out. The lighting is weird, I thought they were good at first but over time didnt like them, they do "spread" the light from side to side, but there is literally a line from the lights that they project. There is no light at all above this line, it's total darkness but below is lighted very well. This mline makes it somewhat hard to read street signs from 50 feet and closer because they're in darkness. And yes, MAKE SURE to seal them immediately, they will develop condensation. My pair is for sale

i am just curious but.... what would you suggest preformance wise for my V6 auto? i am gonna order my CAI asap, so thats taken care of... so besides that what else could i do that would help besides like a "supercharger" or something like that...?
p.s. oh and i am getting true dual exhuast setup soon... that should be expensive though...

So it's only the two black brackets holding them in. Do you need any special tools to remove the brackets or just something as simple as pliers to pull on them? And how do you recommend sealing them before I install them? I've read a couple of different methods online, but not to sure what works best.

I would start off with small boltons then work your way up. CAI and exhaust is a good start, true duals can be had for pretty cheap, mac sells an h-pipe that fits the stock headers and any GT catback exhaust system will work.
After the exhaust, CAI, you should look into perhaps getting a t-lock diffferntial for your rear end and maybe a better gear ratio, maybe get a higher stall convertor and a cooler to go along with it. You could also buy a set of underdrive pulleys that will free up some extra hp. Then you should get a tune via SCT chip or flasher. Justin from velocity mustang performace is one of the better if not the best V6 mustang tuner out there, tunes can be had for around 350-400 bucks. This will make a BIG difference with your auto.
After doing those things it begins to depend on what goals you set for yourself. Do you want to go N/A, Nitrous, or some sort of boost?

well as far as money... i am really not looking to spend more then 2,000$ more dollars into my car... i really just wanna gain back the power and then some that i lost from changing the tires and stuff... i guessing the best way to do this to start is the CAI and the exhuast. maybe i will get an SCT chip or something after that...

make sure you get exhaust made for a v6 or its gonna sound like ***, and whatever you do, dont get flowmaster 40's. As for the CAI, the ebay CAI's are exactly the same as the MAC, BBK's etc. and they are about 80 bucks cheaper.
