Jesus...saw the 05 again tonight.... No camera AGAIN....but i have a good excuse this time...my buddy got a mach 1 for the weekend...so i kinda left in a hurry. The 05 was in mineral grey, cloth interior, GT. Only noticeable change was in the bottom of the bumper. The 3 'fangs' or whatever you wanna call them that were at a the bottom of the bumper are now a black plastic insert, same material as the grille. The two far corners of the piece are blocked out (like how they block out the grille around the pony. It looked amazing....cant wait until it comes out.

All right.
New rule.

Everyone that has a digital camera or cell phone with camera ability. You are now required to carry it with you at all times. Period! :angry:

I have been carrying my camera around with me since June LAST YEAR in hopes of GETTING the chance to snap a photo!!! SO FAR, my girlfriend, a friend, and a co-worker of my girlfriend have seen it in Pasadena, CA. What's really funny/ sad.... VERY sad... is that the guy that she works with thought that the 2005 Mustang was already out and that the "cheeto" looking spots came on it. He had no idea that it was a test car. He must have felt so stupid to have a girl explain to him what a test car is. Just for the record, he drives rice... sigh...

I think this black insert is going to appear on the production car. This may be a good thing.

I really want to see a pic of it from a distance.

Here's what you saw. I think it will look really good with the pieces blacked out. As if they weren't there. The body coloured ones didn't really rub me the right way. The grille opening didn't come off as nice as the rest of the front from an appearance standpoint IMO.

Even though I "think" it'll look good, and it looks okay from the pic, I really want to see it from another angle farther away.

Thanks for the chop romero! You'll still see the sticks a bit though.

It does widen the car. Reminds me of the concept.

Yup thats it...thats exactly hot it looked...it was funny though cus the guy was eating dinner and we had 3 guys underneath his car checking it out. Oh...the rear seats didnt have 'mustang' written on them in that reflective material...it looked like little ponies in reflective material...ive seen two 05's parked by where i live...i will have my camera next time i promise. Also, i was not impressed by the ride height...4x4 all the way

There haven't been any Torch pics yet, so it has to be redfire.

I think you guys that complain about us that live around the Detroit area and spotting the 05's and NOT having a camera with us, should send us a niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice PayPal donation, for.. ummmmmmm, inspiration. I know I could use a camera phone *cough* I have Sprint *cough* and my digi cam *cough* Canon S30 *cough* needs another battery pack.

CUON24 --- I don't remember your real name.. but I should see you around at an MM meet sometime, whenever I get a weekend off from work

And the Torch red has been photographed. It's a bright red, almost like Performance Red and it was on the 05 concept vert.
