    I like the stockers. Not too busy on the back end.

    I have early to mid 70s bobcat tail lights. the maverick lenes will work in the bobcat tail lights but the bobcat tail lights are hard to come by.

    I agree. However a few noteable exceptions are Rayzor Sharps car they look good with the shelby panel, and Riporters car but he used a lens that nobody else has can't remember exactly there are close to the shlebys but slightly different.The Bob Cat tail lights look the best for a stock style Maverick IMO. Mavaholics camaro lights look good too and don't try and compete with the natural lines of the car. I guess what I am trying to say is the car needs to be styled for this mod and not just slap on a different set of lights and that's it. It just seems outta place to me otherwise.

    I think the stock Maverick (Pinto) tail lights look the best. Simple, plain, and clean.
