Check out this photo of Mustang designer Doug Gaffka.

In the background is a Mustang with GT/CS side scoops, GT500 rear spoiler, and quarter window louvers. The wheels are the Marauder wheels available in the Ford Custom Wheels catalog.

 

Hmmm interesting....

I like those louvers!

 

yea, htose louvers arent that bad at all

 

+2!!!

 

very interesting. I wish Doug would move over so we could see the rest of the car.

 

I saw those wheels in the brochure. I am not sure if I have seen them on. Thay are awesome looking.

 

Is it my imagination, or is that side scoop different? It seems to be a three-sided indention, rather than the hockey-stick we currently have. Could this be the 2010? I don't see hips, but maybe they're just outta shot? Why would there be a clay model of the 05 hanging around?

 

huuuum I just noticed it...but no clue of hips

 

I believe the side scoop is the same as the Shelby GT and GT/CS.

 

I would much rather have my '66 Shelby quarter windows. (probably beacuase I spent 16 years staring at my '65's louvers and wanting 'glass')
Looks like if they have louvers in '10 I'll be retrofitting a set of windows.

 

Maybe an 08 or 09 option?

 

maybe its just me...but I dont see side scoops at all...

It also looks like those louvers take the place of the window and not just cover it up...

 

You gotta look at the shadows. The lighting is coming from doug's right. There is a shadow on the scoop's rear part, thats how you can tell its a scoop.

 

God I hate those wheels!

 

Yes, maybe that car in the background is a model of a Shelby GT with optional GT500 spoiler and optional quarter window louvers!

 

I too like the windows, rather than louvers.

 

7 vents - wow, that's going to make for a small vent. I don't see the possibility of making it very functional at that count either, since you are going to be restricted heavily by the repitition. Isn't there already one out there too that has/had a bunch of vents to it?

I will agree it appears to be a replacement piece, rather than a bolt on, but then again, in the clay stage, and given some of the FMVSS requirements FoMoCo has, I don't think that would be the case.

Just ramblings from someone who's been looking at drawings too long of another *style* about to hit the market...

 

Wow, talk about retro! It would be cool if they have the wire mesh grilles like the 60's version had. It looks like they sit flush like the originals too, neat!

 

No grill mesh - I like the look as well, but it interferes with the visibility we were after, and makes for a much more complex deal to do properly. (has to do with how the part has to release from the molds, etc...)

It also adds to the cost, which we are trying to keep down, although it might be neat to offer as an option at some point down the road.

 

louvrs look awesome...and thumbs up on those marauder wheels! any members have those on their s197's? havent seen em...
