    Topcat, that's exactly what I was thinkg about when I saw it. I has one when I was stationed in Germany. It would definitely be unique here in the states.

    I dont think I like the "lowered eyelids". Maybe if they had an angle to them like angry brows it would look better. Either way... without doing an inset headlight it would not be possible. I dont think setting the headlight in far enough into the fender would look very good nor would extending the fender enough to come out around the headlight. I think the headlights looks great the way they are. Maybe smoothing the bezel into the fender would look good.

    notice the headlights on this pic.

    Does it make be bad to say that the headlights (and the tiny tail lights) are the only things I would like to change on my Maverick?! I was thinking about trying to set them in a bit like the mustang pose, but it would be a fair bit of work and when there is a lack of spare parts I cant go chopping mine about!!!
