Eh good point i think its more the degree of ricerness here.

Sure, i havent seen many muscle cars such as vettes or mustangs with custom lighting and those that do are generally **** piles IMO that were taken over the top with loud paint jobs and custom systems, and the others are on like a v6 mustang which is le ghey.

These cars kinda need them though... they actually make the car look better, and i would never call rice on a car that is properly modified through and through, not over the top, not ghetto-ly done, not cheaply put together. This is a well balanced car were talking about here.

Sucks because i had my damn go pro in my car!! but didn't mount it as we were with a couple others in a caravan and they left so i didn't have time to hook it up. LNF was fully bolted and HP tuned.

Retros > OEM Black > Gen 4s

Gen 1-3 belong in the trash IMO

I want retros, but I settled for some Anzo headlights. They look good with the black accents on my car.

I still have my ugly stock headlights in the garage, and when I actually get the time (and proper tools), I plan to try doing the retro mod myself. I just hope I don't **** something up when I try it. lol

Not gonna lie, they look pretty good on his car.

I can't remember if he has the bottom LEDs disconnected... or he may have the Gen 4s and is getting confused with the different models

I'm still not giving your drum lessons now! Even if they ultimately aren't 3rd gens, you were probably right! haha

thanks all... have a few new parts sitting around. I want to put on soon and will take a new pic or two hopefully within the next week or so.

Also, having a terrible clunking noise coming from the front... so I'm in the process of diagnosing that. Within the past year, I have new moog end links on there, OTTP CABs and full rotated mounts. I thought it was bad rubbing coming from my intake/fenderwell since its a pretty tight squeeze with my setup but I looked over everything and secured the intake (it aint moving) last week. Noise is still there. Also the more I hear it, its more of a clunk/pop, not rubbing (I'm familiar with what that sounds like )

I don't even have to be driving if I'm idling and move the steering wheel back and forth the noise will pop up. I think I've narrowed it down to something in steering... possible steering column or steering shaft? Possibly tie rods or axles... hmmm
