Im thinking if you paint that bottom half black it will really bring out the sex

But maybe thats just me lol. Im still loving it either way. And I am curious as well on what you used to make the filling?

What grit(s) did you use to wet sand?

before i painted them i sanded them with 1000 grit then 1500 grit. after they were painted i sanded them with 1500 again and then buffed them out. if your going to do this yourself you have to make sure you dont sand too much of the clear off when your wetsanding them becasue the clear is what makes the lights dark. if you sand one spot more than the other spot it will look lighter is some areas than others.

JB you mean, 95SC I think,

94Pro-5.0 how did you shave the bumper?

yea his car does look just like mine from the back. i have a saleen spoiler going on soon though.

to shave the side reflectors i cut off the reflector housing from the backside and rounded the edges on the front side. i used a hard rubber mesh for strength on the backside and used a 2 stage rubber/urethane filler on top of that and on the front side, and sanded my ass off. sanding rubber is no fun. to shave the embossed "mustang" writing i just ground it smooth and filled it in with the 2 stage rubber filler. i also used a flex additive in an epoxy primer that really helped smooth everything out. i wasnt sure how it would turn out but i eneded up being very impressed with everything.

I will be painting the bottom gloss black to match the taillights and dark tint. I am also painting the cowl panel gloss black. i'll do that stuff hopefully this coming weekend.
