Im sorry bro but where i come from only bogans in there 79 ford escorts put stockings on there lights. It looks alright till you break or put your lights on

and im just not into that furry feeling. You know its still defectable like that so why dont you just do it properly

Apart from that the car looks mint nice work.

maybe he wants to break the trend by being in an fto instead of an escort

still looks tacky in my opinion

wouldn't they constantly be getting rips and pulls in them?

upclose it looks decent.. bout defect i can always rip it off and get off on yellow sticker which i wouldn't be able to do with smoke tint which i cant say the same to you.

doesn't look defect at night cause the light shines through.

note to self, i have never seen a ford escort with stockings... doesn't compare to an ftoooo cause ford suck.

Not seen it in person, so couldn't comment - but the pics look good to me! An chance of close up and with the lights on at night?

I'm notoriously bad with a can of spray paint...

Buying fishnets for the car... hmmm sounds wrong, but feels so right

Hey mate im not having a go at just stating my opinion. But just cause you can rip it off, the cop can (and most probably will) defect you and fine you. I had mates back home who used to carry around a bottle of turps in their car so if they got pulled over the could say to the cop, ill take the tint off now...... They still got fined.

Mine doesnt look defectable either at night you can see them perfectly. Its not spray paint on mine, its a transperant paint esecially for lights.

But in the end mate if you like it its all that matters

Nice one mate...... would have to agree though stockings on light bit tacky

Stockings on the lights... got me thinking...

Glow in the dark condoms on the lights!

Lol, jokes. Nice paint job, how much did that set you back if you don't mind me asking?

the boot itself was 450, painted and holes filled. but it was done by a friend of mine. and he polished the whole car for me.
