Color options for the regular Boss 302 include School Bus Yellow, Grabber Blue, Gotta Have It Green, Performance White, and Race Red.
The Laguna Seca will be available in School Bus Yellow or Black, both of which will have gray-trimmed spoilers, mirror caps, grilles, wheels, and interior cross-braces
So The LS comes with Sterling Grey Reflective stripes and the Regular Boss comes with Black reflective stripes...And YES! Both versions come in SBY!!! PLUS The stripes on the Regular Boss go up and over and down the hood....like the Green one from the SpeedTV video a while back

my poor ms paint touchup...
removed upper grill fogs....removed lowest side plastic grill and then moved the bottom side grills to line up with middle bottom grill....maybe some photoshop person could add fogs to side grills to see what it might look like....

Awesome! Thanks for the info, this is a nice dilemma to have, but the decision on the color of my *fingers crossed* soon-to-be ordered LS is a cause of stress. I looove SBY, but think the black on gray will look far more menacing, particularly on the track while catching other more expensive cars, which I already do with my STI , LOL.
& it's impossible to keep clean.. The LS looks insane in SB yellow

Been watching the pix and specs for a few days now and I've made up my mind: I don't like the 2013 one bit. Everything I loved about the 2010-12 they managed to screw up:
- New nose looks like a harelip on botox
- New headlights look cross-eyed
- Fog lights on the GT grill enhance the cross-eyed look even further
- GT500 grill plastics look cheap
- V6 grill chrome surround looks tacky
- New taillights look cheap and tuner like, collect dust and the gloss finish scratches like hell
- Trunk lid trim plate gloss finish scratches like hell too
- Painted rocker panels make the car look pig belly fat from the side
- Rear license plate frame is useless, too big and should be body color
- Four tailpipes on GT500 is over the top (on any car btw)
- Striping on GT500 totally clashes with horizontal black elements in the rear
Obviously there are improvements too:
- Design of the lower part of the front bumper is more balanced
- Design of the front bumper splitter is more clean
- Optional Recaro’s
- Optional Brembo’s on GT Automatic
- Track apps
- Mirrors with pony projectors (useless, but cool nevertheless)
And some missed chances:
- Backup cam still not integrated in fake gas cap
- Wheel designs and finishes still ugly
- V6 and GT rear spoilers still ugly
- Still no Screaming Yellow or Grabber Orange, just yawnnn colors
- No optional Brembo’s on V6
Overall this revision is a big NO for me. They took the most beautiful Mustang ever built (2010-12) and made it look fat, old and fake. Sorry

Wow..! The pics of what Ford is calling a california special (white with glass roof and brembo wheels) is beautiful. Whats strange though is if you look around in some pics the tails look to have covers over them..? I also noticed that the california special has two entirely different looks. One has the stripe package, terrible wheels, and lack of fogs if you click on the make it your own link you can view that one(thanks but no thanks). The other pic has the brembo wheels and a very clean no stripe look as well as what appears to be fogs in the lower grille. That is the car thats pictured with the boss and the black v-6 in the general pic section.

Overall, I liked the previous front fascia better (especially on the Boss 302) but I like the rest of the car enough that I could probably overlook how crosseyed and bulbous the front of the car now looks. I like the new hood much better though. I never liked the look of the cowl hood.

I just noticed that 2013 pony package looses the horizontal bar and the frame rounding the chrome pony badge. Instead, it gets a chrome insert around entire upper grill. I used to think it is for regular V6 only but when I check the pictures from ford website, the official comments indicate it is 2013 pony package.
I am so disappoint at it. But the GT/CS looks wonderful. So I think 2013 V6 MCA package would be as good as CS.
By the way, is the selectshift auto transmission available only to GT?

I really like the idea of the vented hood but the more I look at some of the newer pictures, like the one of the white CS on the Ford site, the more it reminds me of this...
Did anyone figure out if those rear lights fit a 2011-12 yet?
