As long as you own a car you'll be spending money on it so get use to it.

Yeah, I get that but right now it's about prioritizing. I can put off paint for a while so long as I'm happy with black. Thats money that could be spent on other bills or another part of the car. I don't have bottomless pockets. They're actually pretty shallow.

So now that Tony gracefully edited this for me this has turned into an opinion thread. The real question is not if you prefer horizontals to verticals. The question is how does the black bezel look? I won't be able to afford painting ti so it'll be staying black if I go the vertical route.

if you look at your car with verticals and black bezels and say "hell yea". then do it mayn!! the lights you have now just look cleaner imo. dont look horrible, just not as clean. i think to pull off the black bezels ya need to do some black wheels and at least a lightweight drop, lol. that would help you 20's also.

even though you have smoked H/L's that to me just means you should do smoked tails. not really the whole bezel though.

Not sure if I'm sayin' 'hell yea' or not... I definitly like the verts better vs horis. But i'm on the fence about the bezels. I just don't want to put them on the be like, 'Oh. That's eh. I think I'll just make sure to get them from AM, so a return will be easy if I change my mind. My headlights aren't really 'smoked', they just have the black housing with clear lens. Not really sure I'd want to tint my tails, I don't want to go too overboard with the black. I just filled in my bumper-letters, and painted the lower valance, too.

Tony, any way you could re-shop it so that the 'mustang' is filled in and the lower valance is painted glossy black? Actually... I'll get a new pic, and ask someone to reshop the tailights again. XD
