Off ebay. The cut off is pretty even and pretty far comparing them to the stock lights. I'd imagine a set of HIDs would make them brighter

Damn son... Your in school and making this kinda progress. Makes me jealous. I work for a living and my car looks like a piece of shit. Da fak lol. Keep up the good work man. I know I dropped off the social media planet so I don't like any of your photos anymore, but dude I'm seriously liking your car. A lot. Murdered out is the IDEAL mustang for one such as myself. Makes me wish I had gotten the black 03 instead of my silver 00.. O well. Keep up the good work Joe, that thing is looking dead sexy. And is making me wanna dip my Jeep lol

Haha yeah man, I got school monday thru thursday, friday is my day off, and I usually work 3 or 4 days mixed in somewhere lol. Nah man your cars dope, I hate silver mustangs, yours made me kinda sway towards maybe getting one in silver lol. I appreciate it though. Bustin my ass to buy the stuff I want, its awesome to just stand back, look at the car, and be like that cost me $xx and I worked like 10 days for ****ing lights haha! Its worth it though, I got to get the car exactly where I wanted it, and I never would've dreamed it come out like this when I first got it. Its all good lol, I still get likes on likes on likes on IG haha. I love black, and you know what they say, once you go black you never go back! lmao. I had my dads black 95 lincoln mark viii (rwd coupe, 4.6L 32V DOHC) for awhile before I got into rustangs. That was black on black, my 5.0 is black on black. hmm lol. I originally murdered my car out when it was stock, dipped the stock wheels, headlight covers, tinted windows, tinted my rear sidemarkers myself and dipped my badges. Got over that phase. But at like the end of august, I realized, I DD this car which means I'll be driving it in the winter.. And the salt is gonna eat thru the clear coated lip (i think you told me about that), so I dipped teh bullitts. Fell in love with the murdered look all over again haha. gonna be so weird when I peel the dip off in the spring time. I'll keep up the good work, so long as I keep making some $$ lol. Exteriors done.. I'm askin for some 10.5'' rears and new tires for xmas. Now its time to focus on making this piggy fly. Dip your jeep, that would look so sick lol

Oh and you don't wish you got black, you think its hard to keep your car clean now while its sitting outside? its so much worse with a black car. I went to the body shop today and had these guys wetsand the bumper, mirrors and wing. Guy told me it looks like the car was repainted cause how good the paint looks. I was like nah, i buffed it a million times thats why, guy couldn't get over my car was a 95, said it looked brand new. I asked him if i could wetsand the whole car or its only for freshly painted parts, so he decided to wetsand on my hood a little bit, so now I definitely need to atleast do the hood lmao.

That's some hard work and dedication you've got man. Don't ever let that fire burn out. Once it does it's hard to re kindle it...
And fawk yes I do wish I had black. Shit you think I wash my car anymore? Noooo way son lol that thing hasn't been washed since....... September? August? I have no idea. It's so dirty it's horrible. I had my old black Grand Am. Used to wash that thing every week lol I know all about the black game. But as far as I'm concerned it's black or nothin. It's my favorite color for everything man.. Clothes... Cars... Furniture... Hell my mini fridge, sheets, pillowcases and garbage can in my room is black ha.
And dude imagine the 10.5's dipped... Oooooh man that's gonna look tits!

Yeah I do what I can lol. Lmao I haven't washed mine in close to three weeks :O So its pretty filthy, oh and add the haze from the wetsanded parts the car looks awesome... lol. I used to wash my shit every week, but between school, or working, have no time for mustang. So my car probably flips me off every time I leave to go work or somethin lol. I love black, but I like blue more since its my favorite color. I've just always been a fan of black cars, black sneakers (gotta be nike's thats all I rock on my feet), black socks, a lot of black to say the least lol. 10.5s dipped would look so fawkin good. The tires i got on my car now are goodyear eagle GT's in a whopping 245/45/17, the tires are alright. But the previous owners put em on, and they're like 3 years old.. So i want new ones lol. Lookin to get continental extreme contact DWS's 255/40s up front, 275/40s out back.. Or put 18x10s out back wrapped in 295/35/18s and leave the 17s up front? Idk how that would look since im not lowered. Either way I'm gettin 10.5s and new tires lmao

When you dipped the wheels, did you just do the front or did you do the inside of the rim too? Gonna be dipping my wheels (my dads old ones when he gets his new ones) and I'm not sure if I should tape off the inside or paint the inside. I've seen people paint them while on the car and can't help but wonder how the front face to inside lip transition looks.

When I did my stockers, I did the whole thing, inside and outside (never thought of not doing the inside). Looked really good, and actually pulled off the stock wheels pretty nicely. My bullitts I currently have are anthracrite with a polished lip. I wanted to dip the whole wheel inside/out but I thought about just doing the face of the wheel and it came out really good. I used brown paper lunch bags to tape off the inside and I got a perfect line around the whole wheel. I popped out my center caps (left them chrome), tape my chrome valve stems/caps (left them chrome) and left my 6 spline lugs chrome to act as accents. I'm glad i did because its not fully blacked out, has a few minor accents which makes it pop and stand out from everyone else. The face to inside transition looks wicked, almost custom honestly and people can't get over how clean mine came out and how even the lines are.

Oh jeez. Yea I was thinking about taping off the inside. And I have chrome center caps that I picked up last year to put on and I'm leaving my lug nuts as well. I have to see how well the inside of the wheels clean up... They have about 40,000 miles of all 4 season driving on them. Only cleaning the outside face. So I'll have to break out the power washer....
But your cars looking good. I'm not a huge fan of the new edge quarter badges but other than that I'm drooling over your car. Haha

Lol yeah I went ham on these wheels haha. If you want send me a pic of the inside of the wheels I could probably help you figure out whats best to use on em, I do detailing so I'm like OCD with that shit lol. My original 17 year old stock wheels cleaned up pretty fine, 53k on them. Shouldn't be too hard to get yours clean. A lot of people don't like the new edge badges, but I once I saw them on jonbeast's old GT, than saw them on a black SN on google, I had to have em. Everyone either puts the new 5.0 badges, or diff 5.0 badges, I wanted to be different so I got these lol. And besides I always get people asking me, is it a 4.6 or 5.0? Makes me laugh, I should swap vertical tails in, nobody would know unless you know what a 5.0 sounds like lol

The 4.6 sounds a bit different than the 5.0 because of the dohc.
And oh my god I hate hate hate the new 5.0 emblem on our cars. It looks stupid imo. I got the 5.0 High Performance badges to be different and make sure people know what's under the good but I think I might go badgless. Not sure how much work that will involve...
I'll see if I can't grab a picture and PM you it tomorrow or maybe tonight if it doesn't come out bad with the flash. I want to paint my stock wheels too for winter beaters but I'm not gonna even deal with the 100,000+ miles of shit inside them. Lol. Could be more too I bought the stockers from a guy in mass, my car came with 3 shitty rims and my flat spare. Lol. Anything is an upgrade from that.

True 4.6s sound diff, you'd be surprised though. Had some guy ask if I had the 4.7, i just looked at him and refrained from smacking him.. 2 weeks ago I started my car at our local meet, 5.0 with mac longtubes, bbk shorty offroad X, mac flowpaths and tails.. One guy said it sounds like a V6, i wasn't even mad.. jackass lol. If your gonna do your stockers, just give em a nice cleaning or else the dip is never gonna work the way it should.
