I can agree with that. I realize that everything evolves in time and styles change. I'm not so old that I'm stuck in my ways, but some things like super bright LED's on a muscle car just don't fit. The HIDS that actually fit/blend with the car I could wrap my head around but the strips look silly like they are trying too hard to be an Audi. It's a muscle car, not a Honda or a BMW/Audi.

If American Muscle ever releases a '13-14 style tail light for the '10-12 cars, I'll be on them like a duck on a june bug. That is really the only place the earlier cars are lacking compared to the later ones. I think AM had plans to make them, but Ford may have made them stop for copyright infringement. At least that's what I read through the lines. And I'm not putting a bunch of silly window tint, or vinyl, or 'nightshades' spray paint all over my tail lights. I don't hate them that much!

The REAL problem with the rear of these cars is the gigantic dinner-plate sized 'faux gas cap' they tacked to the back of each and every one of them, and they scaled-up the tail lights to match. Bleh.
