thehapaone · 07-16-2015, 02:09 AM

Jake360 · 07-16-2015, 03:14 AM

Missy · 07-16-2015, 05:22 AM

I want... but yes, it would bug me it it was off on mine. Not super noticeable to me though.

Is that the ft86speedfactory one? I've put it in my cart so many times but I keep putting it off because i am lazy. How was the install. Also fix it, you know you wanna.

It is a mustang third brake light kit. There is one tricky part to the install. It has to do with a couple of clips that like to fall out into the body work. Other than those four clips, it was a breeze. Took about an hour.

That would bug me to death.... if it were me, I'd try to correct.

(And like others... this is "on the mod list...")

I need to get this, ferreal.. the guys that did my tint screwed up the lower one anyway so all the more reason for me to replace the ugly thing.

Here's the real question.. which one would you suggest? Is the Mustang one better? Ft86's? Any difference at all? Also, if you fix it could you take a picture of it at the bottom of the window? Kinda curious how that might look..

This thread has some interior pictures of the mustang one in the op:

I read on a different thread that they aren't going to be continuing to make the mustang one as it is hardly sold & their mold has warped over time. The speed factory one is more expensive but is a direct plug and play with the factory harness.

I've done a lot of research on the mod, I just need to get around to actually doing it xP

You don't happen to have the link to the 86 one do you? It's cool if not, I can search between customers.
