    Thanks guys, the tailights idea was from this site, cant remember who, but I just copied what he had done then did a few changes of my own, they are built out of 3 lights each side. The tires are 225/50R17's, tiger paws.

    Got the side stripes from these people on ebay..... http://www.ebay.com/itm/131125355324?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT they custom cut the main stripe for me and I added the 3/16" top and bottom stripes myself. They may still have a copy of what they made for me, tell them "5liter55" bought them, maybe they will remember. The spoiler stripe is my own doing, a simple 1/4" border stripe and the center section is painted on. The ford emblem decal was also from ebay. The hood stripe is from a place in Florida that specializes in ford decals.

    Real nice job on the car! What kind of wheels are on ur car? Is the metal on the drivers-side floor a custom seat bracket?

    Yep the brackets are to mount the VW high back buckets, can get a pic up of those too, if you like.

    The wheels are from an 06 Mustang, 17 x 8's

    I thought the wheels were Stang wheels -- I like em. I might put some of those wheels on my car in the future. There was someone on here a few days ago asking about Stang wheels on our cars.
    Yea! Wud like to see some pic of the seats.
