Is it just me, or can anyone else picture Don Johnson of Miami Vice fame standing in the pic? In all seriousness though, great work, they both look awesome.

That interior is awesome. It will go so well with the current black (eg wheels) that you do have. *thumbs up*

looks like he used a lot of nightshit on the tails. i got like half a can of that stuff left if any1 wants some.
is it just me, or is the white a really sweet colour on the foci? it must be hard to keep clean though?

its no harder to keep clean then any other color even when its dirty it doesnt look to bad.
as for the tail lights there is NO nightshade s**t on it
they were Painted. we added a bit of black and some pearl to the clear coat and cleared the tails markers and signals. when the lights are on you dont even notice the black its completely translucent

as for cost most people will not pay the amount it would take to do a complete color change and to go tri coat to boot

I'm not sure about the MACH's but some OE Ford headlight assemblies are "sonic welded" and do not respond to the bake and pry method of opening up.

Also: had you considered painting them white ... personally I think it would look better than the black ... and that would also free up some black paint to re-do parts of the mirrors. Smile

In any event - I admire your work and the speed at which you get things done ... congrats on a fantastic build.

I have 02+ euro Ford headlights that originally had the same chrome housing. They were taken apart and painted black and are holding up pretty well (well over 6 years painted black).
