    Looks like someone has been using it as a Target. As far as the lights I prefer Stock Maverick lights.

    Makes it look way too much like a Mustang for my taste.

    I would get it painted and leave the stock lights in.

    Now I can see where the Fairmont came from. In small picture before I opened it up I thought that was what it was. Leave it alone and get a good paint job.

    Hehe... well it's good to get opinionations :p I can't paint it yet.. too much body work to be done, but I think i'm gonna stick with stock tail lights.. it was just an Idea I was playing with in my mind.. I always liked the style of the Mustang's tail lights.

    Jason,
    Just remember that no one has to be happy with your car but YOU so build to to suit your own personal taste.
    Also in my opinion the Mustang Tail lights dont look good on a Maverick :oops:

    You could call it a Mav-tang! Nah.......

    It's nice to see some imagination going into these cars regardless on how they end up.

    Have to agree, keep them stock. Just doesn't look right. Or, you could try the bobcat tailights. It is your car, you can do what you want. It is your personality that comes out in these cars. Plus they show your artisitic side. What the heck am I saying? I'll quit now.......

    Mavtang? hmmm... more like Mavstang.. that sounds better, lol. We'll see, i just am playing with the idea, i like to see what others opinions are.. I've got so many ideas in my head it's not funny, so it helps to get opinions. I mean for crying out loud, i've gone from Boss 429 Mav.. to Police Mav .. to Mavstang, lol..

    Thanks everyone :D
