Looks great as always - man those tail lights are rocking (it does look like glass) - if I follow through and buy a 96 mystic one day - the one 'thing' I would do ASAP -is switch out to the 94-95 tails - probably shave the spoiler as well but that's me -- looks great!!!!
 
bump....what's going on with this car? it's been forever since an update.
Yeah...I know.
I haven't had an opportunity to get on and have been working around the clock on other stuff.
I did get my mirrors all worked up and here's how they turned out.
Bases redone in black with a matte clear to match the factory trim

Here are my repop Saleen covers. After working on the Saleen set I bought, I quickly realized it would be much faster to mold my own rather than bring the crappy paper thin ones up to the level I'm going for on this car. Plus Prokiller had asked me to look into making these because you really can't find the originals. So here we have them finished in a flat black just for comparison purposes. Would be just as easy to do them in matte black, gloss or possibly carbon fiber.

Here's a comparison on smoked lights

and on exports

After all that I still may not use these at all. I'm already using a Saleen wing and if I add the taillight covers I may be getting into the dreaded clone stage. Any opinions are welcome.
