it should be better without the louvers because it is a larger window.

I love fastbacks but.....

It looks too fat in the hiney and makes the rear wheel look like it's a 15".

I saw the view looking at the back window in the SEMA pics and it looks cheap, like a poorly made aftermarket job :notnice:

I was wondering if it was just me or if the rear wheels looked smaller than the front...?

Would have been nice for Ford to introduce this style, as another version of the Mustang.. Whats going on with Ford? Why is it up to the aftermarket to bring so many options to the car..

With this body style, it could be offered with a N/A 5.4, or N/A 5.8.. Someone over at Ford is asleep at the wheel.. It would be so awsome to have a few different body styles to choose from..

I wouldn't put it past ford to have this body style in line down the road, Ford is just waiting for sales to trail off before offering new body styles. Its the aftermarket companies need to tap the available market, and alot of us like these styles and are quick to want to see versions like this, so they make 'em and we buy 'em.

I do like the fastback style although this design certainly leaves room for improvement (Ford are you listening?) The rear of the car is just too large: the rear wheel wells appear to be too small while the rear quarter is too large. I also don't like the fake vents.

I agree with what others have said, I believe this is the next logical evolution of the current car once a design refresh is necessary. With just a few changes this would be another home run for Ford. :worship:

These are the photos I took at The SVTOA Howling at Buttonwillow event that happened just after SEMA. I spoke with the representative of Kenny Brown and he tells me they are working with Ford to have these released through dealers across the country, like a Saleen or Roush. I don't have any details on the performance, but you can bet the suspension is beefed up.
