Here are the first ones made. This is an old pic but you get the idea. Silver on silver, pics won't do it justice.  I have started painting headlights again in limited numbers. Let me know if you want me to do yours.

Man I love those pics.
I think he wanted silver painted headlights (instead of "blacked out", "silvered out")??

The Striped SVT: how did you make the SVT logo in your Grill? I like it! Also, what is it about your camera? Your photos always kind of look like you are taking a picture of a 1/24 scale model.

Also, what is it about your camera? Your photos always kind of look like you are taking a picture of a 1/24 scale model. First question: I ordered the SVT emblems for the 1994-95 Lightning/Cobra from Bill Jenkins for $8.60 a piece, which also included S/H  This is a "must do" mod in my opinion because it looks OEM and these fit in the oval alot better than the THICK ones that come on the trunk. One thing though I coverd up the front and rear Ford ovals with some black out tape and then put the little SVT emblems on, looks great! Its better to do the front and rear, that way it matches up real nice Second question: my camera, well it sucks, but in that one pic I'm standing on some steps about 15 feet in the air

Since you have silver it would be just $110. Any other color and I have to charge more to get rid of the silver strip along the outer edge of the inside of the lens. I am actually contemplating repainting mine silver. You'll see a picture of them if I do. -Chris
