TOTAL STEAL. He takes the amazing look of Saleen's front end with the so-so look of Roush's rear end and puts them together without any real design ingenuity.

Foose Rear:
Roush Rear:
I can't image two more opposite designs for the rear than Roush (as busy as humanly possible) and Foose (clean).

I don't think that is a CDC ducktail. CDC comes down further on the sides (down to the bumper seam)
Personally its too busy for me. I do like the hood shape (minus the hood scoop), the ducktail, and the headlight treatment.

Sorry, but how on earth do you get the Saleen front end (besides the smaller lights by the headlights, who copied the Eleanor, which Foose designed in the first place) and the Roush rear end?
Next, the rear was my mistake. Foose's is too flat and boring (still FROM Saleen if you pretend as mentioned early on) and Roush's? Well, let's just say I am VERY happy with Saleen's rear end. Roush wins my vote for worst I have ever seen. So distracting. I agree.
EDIT: Oh heck, they all steal design cues back and forth. No one wins with these arguments, lol...

I think the ducktail is from CDC...anyone know for sure? Those wheels are way over the top for me. I think black is already played out.

The ducktail isn't offered by anyone I've seen but the closest is the one from Fang.
Here are some pics I stole from GarageLogic
Here's the rest of the pics.

It looks like something Lorenzo Lamas would drive in one of his many C movies....I like stripes but not in this manner. IMO there isnt much difference between this mustang and one of the many POS dealer mock ups we have seen pics of. Oh except for the "FOOSE" on the seats.

Both of Foose's Mustangs look alright, BUT they are far from being something you would expect to see from Chip. Any one of us in here could have our cars modded to look just like teither of them without breaking our banks.
I always expect a Foose or Coddington car to be something "extra" special ....or whats the point in paying huge $$ for it?

I really like the ducktail but that is all. I don't like the removal of the rear center cap and the front is too overdone, WAY TOO many lights. Overall, I'd give it a C. I would have expected better from Chip, that isn't his best work.
