Bought it totalled and had it fixed while I was in Wyoming for work. The car was rearended, the damage stayed above the framerails but took out the decklid, LR quarter, aftermarket rear bumper and crash bar and whatever spoiler was on it.

Its a `98, 121K on the clock. Other then the Vortech under the hood, I dont know much more about it. Yes, I know that it has most of a Mystique tail assembly (but I dont really care).

It gets beater status because of its salvage title and Im into it the least out of all my cars.

How about that I was just thinking of doing the mystique rear tail light assembly myself. With a few changes of course.
How much did you pay for it?
What are your future plans?

Around $4K. Tomorrow Im probably taking the LED tails off of my old `96, possibly the center reflector as well. It needs an alignment and I think Warmonger need to burn me a new tune, but other then that, I will probably leave it along. Unless I find a SVT front for cheap, then I will pull that cover and take it to stock.

With all of the goodies that can't or won't go onto the Coug from your GL, the SVT is bound to get a lot nicer.

Im thinking of a set of projectors...since I do have all the required pieces. Something tells me that the SVT isnt leaving for awhile.
