Boss 302R with 2013 bodywork

Roush retrofitted their 2012 Boss 302R race car with 2013 bodywork. What do you guys think of it?

Looks really good, but why not wait until next year to don the 13 sheet metal ?

Nothing more confusing than a Ford Mustang Roush Boss 302S 2012/2013 car.

Looks like the Roush boys are already cutting up the competition. First and Second in GS qualifying for Daytona after today. Check out the full report:

I don't think hood vents are allowed in Grand-AM GS. At least the 302S hood is not allowed.

Yeah. Those wheels are what caught my eye for sure. Any idea what they are?

Looks like the new bodywork is a winner: "Congratulations to Jack Roush Jr. and Billy Johnson for their win today with the #61 Roush Performance Boss 302R in the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge at Daytona International Speedway"....

Looks like they've also included the '13's tail lights. Not a bad retrofit. There's the small gap where the '12's lower notch doesn't line up perfectly, but it doesn't look bad at all IMHO.

Some more pics here, my first Grand Am race. Had a great time and really enjoy the way they let fans get up close and personal.
