    I actually prefer the newer style lights for a smoother look.

      Is it just a matter of cutting holes in sheet metal or are their structural members to move?

        Just holes in the sheet metal. Just the reverse light bulbs are offset. I'll see if I can install a bulb socket that's not as deep so I don't have to cut any holes in the body.

          I like the smoother taillights on the later boxes, looks good. I just like the earlier grilles better, also like the look of flush bumpers. You put heated mirrors on it too? Approaching Lincoln territory

            No hate from me. I dislike those calf catcher bumpers very much.

                  I like the smoothly rounded header panel and the blended tail lights they make your car look good.

                    Just get rid of that ugly rubber piece they have and it'll look 100% better. Also you might be able to get away with running the 88 vic filler panels to do that.

                      Looks sweet with the aero box bumpers, always wished they'd made 'em that way. Nice work bean. Makes me want a coyote box even more now, although the 5.4 is probably nice and torquey with the extra stroke.

                          In case you ever wondered how aero bumpers would look with a boxy header and tail lights. No, I am not keeping it this way. The 03' ejected a spark plug yesterday so I was in a panic mode last night slapping those body panels on so I could drive it to work today.

                              Shorten the taillights?? I like the older front pieces more than the newer ones. Something about the crisper lines & better looking side markers & grille, newer ones are just kinda flaccid. The rounded boxes just look a bit too modern for me.
