    I've been thinking about doing this for quite some time (some might remember the posts I made about it a few months ago). The reason I needed to do it was because of the light covers were faded badly and it stuck out especially at night in certain lights. I couldn't get them painted back laser red due to the car overall being faded so it would also stick out. The paint scheme is one which will either get me a few compliments, or result in me getting ragged on for it:p :nice:

    I paid $100 for the light bezels, the license plate area, and the part in between the exhaust (wtf do you call that area other than lower bumper? :rlaugh:) I now need to repaint in my MUSTANG GT part, though I will do that later today.

    :rlaugh: The car is pretty faded though it doesn't exactly look pink to the eye. I do see in the picture how it does look like that :)

    After I touch up on the MUSTANG GT part i'll take more pictures that hopefully won't seem like the car is barbie pink (even though it is close ;))

    I do plan on getting the entire car painted eventually, though this time of the year isn't exactly the best time to drop 2k+ to do it :nice:

    I wouldn't have went with black if I didn't have the black bullitts to go along with it. The next cosmetic mod will need to be an entire paint job, though that isn't exactly in the nearby future :rlaugh:

    A good bit of elbow grease can really shine up that paint and make it look great again. or Just have a detailer do it, much less then a paint job for now.

    As for the painted, a bit scattered looking, but I'll say I like it.

    I currently don't have a buffer or anything to help the paint at all. Maybe someone will be kind enough on christmas to supply me with one :nice:

    Thanks for the compliments guys :nice: As for the people that don't like it, I knew it would be like that when I posted it up :D. It's not something that everyone has done so I bit the bullet and done it :nice:
