I think they look good. Reminds me of the '70-'72 Corvette. If you get it figured out, could you post updated pics. I have been looking for ideas besides the 'ol plain round dual exhaust. The other was the dual pipes coming out the middle, but for me that puts it too close to the fuel system...BOOM !

yeah when i get it all figured out i will show you . I still am not sure what it might do to the paint and bodywork required to make it perfect . the heat on the tip bothers me a little . I might not be able to make it a real nice tight fit .

i wonder if some sort of powdercoating will hold up , the ring brother mustang had something like this , I need to call mike and discuss it with him .

I hope to do some sort of fabriacted box tip on the front lower valance for brake coolers also . I will show you all soon .

I am open to all comments , good or bad . thanks

mock up? looks like your commited to doing it cause you already cut the car up. Mocking it up would be doing it on a junk tail panel. And seeing if its looks right.
With the RS lights I think the tip will have to have a more rectangle look to it cause it looks like there are to many block shapes down below the bumper line. It looks like what you have done is something like the Ring Brothers Mustang

I too will have exhaust exit the tail panel, I also will have the RS light to deal with. Good thing is your furthur ahead than i am so I get to see what it looks like on yours.

I agree on the reverse light deal . But i just cant bring my self to elimnate them on an Original RS car , also I will hopefully have some new jewelry for out back to dress it up

Foose's car has round pipes and those queer little round reverse lights they use on every car they put together it seems like , I wanted to retain some factory stlying cues with this . Ya know custom but not totally !
