i dont trust the german laws so im going to keep a spare just in case . i got a pretty sweet deal on the lights and the combo was a lot cheaper than what i almost bought from someone. Its also been a long time since i have done any kind of cosmetic change to the stang

Im going to leave it flat matte finish to see how i like them. i dont drive the mustang much takes too much work to pull it out of my garage since i have to remove the bumper. i will have to take pics of my driveway and garage one of these days to show you guys. ever since i sold my WRX i just bum rides from people at work...its too cold to drive my car and i have summer tires on it so if i wreck it its ruled my fault! that only applies to winter months fortunately. other reasons for not driving it are that it gets 12-14 MPG thats with no boost at ALL

The flat finish may look good on yours, but most from what I have seen didn't pull it off very well.

Maybe I am reading this totally wrong, but are you saying you have to remove your bumper to pull it out of our garage? Clearance issues or something?

i have clearance issues because of the transition from the driveway to my garage. the bumper stands no chance of making it and the intercooler barely clears the pavement.

I hate when that kinda crap happens. Not like it takes long to drop it off at a UPS store. There are always going to be those sellers that like to say one thing and do another.

If you don't clear coat, just that spray will turn to **** in like two years.. It'll fade bad.. Clear coating should stop it though.

Not a fan of the tint, I like the smooth rounded look myself with the tint covers from AM. See below

I'm not a fan of the smooth covers personally. I like seeing the 3 different levels of the tail light.
