Yes, they're the OEM 2012 tail lights. The fit is exactly the same as the pre-facelift models. I had to remove my SAM in the trunk and ship it to Whipple104 to reprogram it. Mine's a 2009 though and I know the 2010+ folks are having difficulty finding someone able to reprogram them.

So whipple couldn't program '10 and '11 models?
P.S. Stop, let me get a good look at it
Oh, so thick, now I know why they call it a fatty
And aww, ****'s so sick, got a hit and picked up a habit
But that's alright, cause you're all mine
Those shots are nasty. Makes the your rear look so thick and wide. I love it. I'd hit it. I'm talking about your car of course.

That smoke at the end of your last vid ![naughty](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/naughty.gif)
So how did it go?
Just to confirm this was with your new tune ?
In regards to the facelift taillights I installed mine after waiting quite a while for someone able to reprogram my SAM. In order for them to work properly i had to temporarily disable the rear fog light and trick the system to clear the warning message on the instrument cluster.

That was a crazy video, Sid.
=====================
I'll try to net out what happened yesterday very briefly. Christian Miller, owner of 034 Motorsport, set up the Mustang dyno and did a few baseline runs. The Powerchip tune yielded ~383hp and the weather conditions when we started were about 62 degrees and around 62% humidity. There was an error at first with the MyGenius tool and instead of a "write" option, it went to "recovery" so we accidentally did 3 runs at a stock flash which was ~340hp. Once I was able to reload the correct tune files onto the tool and uploaded, we did 3 runs with the new Velos tune. Each run yielded a few more hp than before and after only 3 runs, it was very close to the Powerchip baseline.
A few things to consider:
--The engineers at Velos said they are still confident that I should be able to yield ~20hp more than the Powerchip tune.
--Omar @ Velos said I need to put about 100-150 good miles on the new tune before everything adapts, which is why I have a follow-up dyno appointment this week.
--The curves for the Velos tune are smoother than the Powerchip tune and it was immediately noticeable with my car. I may not be able to definitively feel a 20hp gain, but the smoother throttle delivery throughout the RPM range is definitely noticeable.
I'm not throwing Velos under the bus at all, here. I believe what they committed to me, which is why I went with their tune in the first place. So we'll have more definitive results after the next run. The weather this week should be good so I think I can get close to the same conditions.
p.s. The videos were purely for exhaust entertainment. I had to wear 105 dB hearing protection while I was recording the runs...and it was still loud. I listened to it once without them and I had to stand around the corner of the building about 15 feet away.
