Ugh that's so bad.

However, I keep trying to imagine a 2015 notch based on the 2015 vert, with the flat decklid. I want to fire up my old computer with Photoshop and make it happen.

And while this is different, i dont think its too bad. I really like the idea, but i wish someone would do a better quality kit like this for the S197

I hate the front. The rear spoiler and tail lights look fantastic. Would like to see the original bumper back on it though.

I'm not a big fan of the look but I think it's a unique project, rear end looks kinda cool. I'd love to see some photoshop ideas of a retro Fox for the next generation Mustang....

I think the super thin A-pillars of the Fox kill it for me. If there was more painted material there, it wouldn't look as bad, mainly because the Fox's dimensions and proportions are close to the 1st gen coupe/notch body.

As for the retro Fox? It's not for me, but I appreciate the skill in making it happen

But it's so easy to see out of

And in a rollover those skinny A pillars will crush and kill you

So I've got that going for me

For sure hah. I was saying the thin pillars ruin that retro styling though, not the look of the Fox.

Hmm... maybe if it didn't have that side strake on the door.
