I saw my first 2005 Saleen on the road this morning. Redfire and it looked very nice! That color w/ their black trim pieces blended very well together. It looked clean and not overdone. I do not know if it is worth near $53K (price listed on ebay). But I liked it and I guess the guy has some money.

Saleen, most definately. Have yet to see a Steeda from any model year. The '00-'04 Roush's looked awesome, but the '05 looks hurried and cheap. The Shinoda Boss..... well..... lets just say I'll make my decision on it when I see the finished product.

i think I'm going to mix and match...

I like the front of Roush's but I hate the back, looks like it was built with legos...

The louvers are so-so, and the interior just blows donkey *****...

I join the minority. I like Steeda best. Roush and Saleen are a bit overdone for my taste.

IMO Street Scene's 05 is 10x's better than all of 'em. Beautifully subtle without all the gaudy wings and lower front spoilers that double as tray tables. Throw on a ducktail and its perfect!

Since I own a '96 Saleen, I'm kinda partial to the Saleens. The Roush is just too much. The Steeda wing ruins it for me. But they are all still 'Stangs, so they are all good.

I just don't like the Saleen... way too overdone, and you simply have to keep the fogs in the grill.

I know the Roush (my choice) is pretty busy too, but just lose a thing or two (like the hood scoop and those silly squares on the rear bumper) and it looks great.

I would have to go w/ the Saleen, even though it doesn't look like a Mustang of yester-year, and it has those ugly wheels.
-The only thing I like about the Roush is the wing, I've got a guy that is supposed to be emailing me once they are avail.

I like the Tiger-Racing Car (shown) and then the Roush Stage 3 with stock FORD interior and grille delete. I like the Steeda Q400 too, i want the exact one as shown in a video awhile back silver and black it was doing donuts in a parking lot. I have changed MO since posting this thread as you can see.

Topnotch, those are some great thanks. I've seen some others on their site, too. What I was referring to seeing one in real life. I would assume that they have a pretty big following in FL. I've seen a '97 Shinoda Boss but thats it. I've wanting to come down to Steeda's facility and see what they've got. If I can make some time this summer, I will.

I voted for Steeda... I think they have some good stuff. But I'm waiting for SVT.
