Does anyone know what will be the distinguishing visual differences (exterior-wise) between the Base Mustang and the GT version (other than different wheel size or rims)?

And the GT has a lip that goes around the entire car on the bottom.

Different rocker panel on the sides to continue the line...into the back where the lip goes over the dual exhaust. It is also in the front bumper.

Boomer, to me (and I could be wrong), it looks like the V6 does have the same rocker and front lip also, its just that they're darker in color. It definitely does not have the lip in back though.

- the V6 looks to have a lip - but it looks to be a black plastic add on piece along the same lines as the Mach 1 chin spoiler - the GT lip is part of the bumper cover

- the GT and the V6 have distinctive front bumper covers

V6 has lic plate cut out

GT has a larger (vertically) lower opening and more vertical ribs (3 vs 2)

Rear bumbers are differnt too. Lip on GT no lip on V6, as well as the traditional dual exhaust vs single.

Come on guys. I expect better. Its not the front bumper, rear bumper or bumper cover its the front fascia and rear fascia. :nono:
