The front splitter looks like an afterthought. It's not integrated very well.

I think a little spoiler delete option is all that car needs. I like it a lot more than the yellow version, the flat hood looks better I think. I don't know if anyone else agrees, but besides the concept hood, gt-r hood, and cervini hood, I haven't seen one I like yet. I think the huge power bulge doesn't look good on this car, but that's just my opinion. B)

Yea the front splitter needs some work. I liked the little black one they had in the preproduction photos in their adds.

That car just doesn't seem "right".

That front splitter is bad to me as well.

shave that ugly chin -- YUCK!

agreed NickS, I don't much care for the current stock hood, I'm partial to my 68' hood with the two turn signals integrated

and finally, com'on Steeda create some new wheels, can someone do a chop with the red Steeda and those sick black FR500 rims?

I think it looks pretty good. Get the body shop to do some better blending on the sides of that front splitter and it will look much better. The wing is very Steeda, and I think a good execution for that style of spoiler (not exactly my cup of tea though). I wish they did something more with the side skirts. And, I am not feeling that shift ****.

I don't know I have yet to see one of these aftermarket '05 Stangs that looks good. Every one of them just seem to screw up the good looks of the '05 Stang.

Looks like it's going to take a year or 2 before one of these aftermarket companies gets their add-ons right. :scratch:

I think it looks really good, in an over-done racer sort of way. So it has an appeal, it just doesn't appeal to me.

I guess those are new steeda rims with the correct offset. They look pretty good.

The car looks alright...and since no one else has said anything about it, I greatly prefer the IUP shifter to that one.

I like it two thumbs up Goes to show that the new hood does not need to be touched, nothing beats that stock aluminum beauty.

I order to work the wole front fascia needs to be one piece.

Tho 05 stang is gonna be one tough puppy to body mod. I cant wait to see the derranged riceboi's with thier commando body kits a few years from now. I'll be sure to have a barf bag handy

Do you think that those are standard steeda rims with spacers?

I think it looks real nice - but I like all the 05 Stangs I have seen - so I am easy

I have my own ideas thou - so if/when I ever get one it will end up looking like "my" car and no one else's idea of a personalized car.

Cars are like motorcyles - often "less is more" - much of the "stuff" that came on my motorcycle went into the trash bucket.

If you can buy something out of a catalog it is not custom.

I like the black accents on the car really makes the cars grille and lights stand out.

Do you think the black on the hood would look better if it were a semigloss like the 73 Mach?
