Always wondered what the trapezoidal tail lights would look like if....

[Flatback72]

....if they were squared off along the inner edges. So I did a little photo tinkering and came up with this. I kinda think they would have made the rear end a little tougher looking and a little closer to the earlier Mustang heritage. What do ya reckon, amiright?

the reason ford did it was saving on tooling, hee hee, i think it does look better with a dedicated left and right taillight.

Wow. Had to do a double-take to really see the difference. I like it. Very subtle/classy mod - my favorite kind.

That looks really good.

 

[BigBlue]

That actually looks REALLY good. Better than the original IMO. Who knew such a subtle change could make such a dramatic effect on the look of the rear?

+1 I agree totally, very subtle. Great photo chop work too. Absolutely seamless.

I think I like it better. It's hard to tell since the reflection in the bumper is still trapezodial.

Yeah, that does look good.

I really like it a lot. Much better than the original design. I think that the design of the taillights is the weakest part on these cars.

Freaken Awesome!! I've been saying this for years, and Yes - I would absolutely LOVE the rear end even more if they had only done that.

But honestly, if my car turns out half as nice as the one in the picture, I'll be happy no matter what shape the tail lights are.

 

[imusa76]

it looks good.

so who is going to make and in stall them on there car ?

 

[timachone]

Wow, I like it very much, looks a lot better than the original design!

But modding this with other taillights would mean to mod the tail sheet metal too... :-/

Cheers
