I finally had a chance to install the original taillights that 95steedamustang (the guy building KidK9 's car) restored for me!
Even though I spent a pretty penny on the repaint for the Cobra, they nonetheless screwed up heavily when they painted and smoked my stock tails. I had pictures, but I deleted them.
Anyway, suffice to say that they masked them all wrong to the point of being very obvious in the final product. The guy who painted them also used the VHT nightshades and told me he had never used it before. He ended up spraying too many coats, leaving them so dark that I was afraid to drive the car at night or with the sun behind me for fear that someone would rear end me and get their insurance to say that I was at fault because of the dark taillights.
After seeing 95steedamustang's build thread on stangnet and his awesome taillights, I sent him a PM and asked if he would be willing to redo my tails if I shipped them to him. He agreed, and about two months later, they look even better than new. I had been running '96-'98 tails, so I'm happy to have the originals back on. Everything is as it should be.
The tails right after I unboxed them.
And Installed
