Coolest Lighting Feature Ever

When you hit the key fob to unlock the doors on new Mustangs a little spotlight illuminates from the bottom of both outside rearview mirrors, pointing to the ground projecting an image of the famous running Mustang horse showcased in a bright beam.

If we had this on our machines what would you have it project?

I like the thought of a light shining down on the ground near your door area, but with a picture of something is a little cheesy to me. Def something I could see Ford doing with their Mustang. Would not want a silhouette of something on the ground. My thoughts.

It helps a 'stang owner from pissing on his wheels at 3 in the morning. Spot and Shoot.

Don't have a link to an actual photo. I like the idea of light at the door threshold. Thought a tastefully done Acura logo might look kind of cool tho.

I would take a light, but no projection kthx.

That's the kind of douchy feature you could expect a mustang owner to enjoy LOL
"Ohhhh look at me! I drive a mustang with a heritage i don't even care about, but look at this cool horse projection! vroom vroom!"

Do I detect just a bit of Mustang aversion or disgust?

I think that's pretty cool. What's not cool is the cheap plastic everywhere once you're inside. Had one for a loaner while BMW tried to fix my last car. The door panels looked like recycled milk jugs were used.

It's called a puddle light. I actually think the Mustang logo is a neat touch if you have a car with an iconic logo. Acura anything? Not so much.

yeah, i have no mustang aversion, the mustang just has some iconic imagery and heritage to go with it that the TSX does not

other things ok with mustangs: hood pins, racing stripes, etc

I'd never buy one but, like the Camaro, they're fun to look at. Although they continue to make improvements, the interiors have always been tacky. I do like what they've been doing with exterior styling, especially the investment they've been putting into special editions. You have to admit this would be a blast to drive at the track:
