    Honestly and not saying it dont look good but in my opinion i dont like the taillight swaps for a maverick. Especially the mustang swaps. I mean you have a maverick. Dont try to be a mustang. I mean yeah its sharp but i jus dont like it

    I agree, and I also believe that you should keep whatever engine your maverick came with to keep it a "real" Maverick. None of this 347 crap

    Guess I'll have to get rid of my Shelby tailights I've had for 36 years and the V8 I've had for 35 years. Let's see, where did I put that 200 inch 6...

    That's why they call cars like that RestoMods. Doesn't matter what you do to them (as long as they look good). RestoMods are not meant to be original and they seem to have become more popular that the original cars. I like either but I guarantee you my Shelby lights get way more attention than any original Maverick tail lights ever though about getting. :huh:
