93 cobra taillight lenses?

[ALMOST STOCK]

hrc1 The easiest way to see if they are original is to look for the Ford logo.

And if there "painted" gray not tape on black stripes, and both sides have a short second stripe from the bottom as is goes around the lens.

I had the Cobra tails on my car for about 2 hrs and 4 or 5 ppl told me that they didn't go with my car, so I put back on the LX tails back on.

MUCH better with LX lenses, I was right the first time

See, the damn OEM Cobra/SVO lenses look silver most the time. I can't get past that. If they were darker like the fakies I made for myself, I think they'd look good on your car Paul. Not as good as the LXs, probably, but better than the originals.

And your significant other and you've got a deal!!!!!

BTW.... You were one of those who said they looked out of place on my car, and now you offer me $50 .

 

[Ozz]

But they look good on MY car!

But don't we all think that most of things we do look better on our cars than the originals did ?

 

[Ozz]

Cheesegrater lenses suck on *every* car though.

I striped my own, too. I didn't like the striping on the originals, as they weren't a flat, solid color.

Just in case you forgot!

Dave,

I'm talking about the Cobra lenses!
Or am I missing something here?

 

[Ozz]

Ohhh - they look ok but not as good as my replicas

 

[ALMOST STOCK]

OK, So you're saying ... your replicas look better than the originals ?

 

[Ozz]

For my preference, yes.

 

[ALMOST STOCK]

That makes since to me.

 

[Ozz]

Of course I just don't like how the stripes look silver when the sun hits, or how they look 'dull' half the time. You have originals so you know what I mean.

 

[ALMOST STOCK]

There again I guess it’s all about the individual’s preference, not to say what right or wrong.

 

[Ozz]

Of course. Otherwise I'd have neons and other stuff that everyone else around here thinks is cool to have

i never noticed that the one stripe stopped

i have one lens off an 86 that i cleaned up, resprayed flat black and the pinstriped it, its looks brand new

AlmostK Those LX lenses look great on your car, maybe it was jus a bad picture with the Cobras. That first set of silver striped lenses looked really cool too. I can't remember where I bought mine, but they were bought before you could get them anywhere but Ford. I'll give you $75 just to have an extra set!

The funny thing is that the original tail lights on our cars was the most recognizable feature of nearly any car ever, and we all got rid of them!
