Re: the front -

It would look great if they only ditched the ugly grill! The front fascia-what-do-you-call-it isn't bad at all; in fact, it's quite simple and straightforward. I don't understand the complaints about that.

For a moment I thought the front rims are 19" and the rear rims are 20's. Checked in PSP, and they appear to be the same size. Just a higher tire in the rear.

Lordy! That is like a bad joke. Like somebody lost a bet and they had to throw at least 18 extra, tacked on scoops, vents and other trash that does nothing for the design. The fact that so many here are responding in a positive way to this eyesore is disturbing.

That second wing stinks, and so do the fog lamps. I had a feeling Saleen would not disappoint me.

Overall i like the car except for the rear wing. I think the MRT ductail looks much better. I also like how the put the mufflers in the center of the rear.

Overall I like this one. There are a few small things I don't like but nothing I couldn't live with. I'm just glad I can't afford it or I might buy one.

The car looks alright. I wouldn't mind having one of these, but there are just a few things I would like to change:

FRONT: They need to put bumper scoops similar to those on the 99-04 cars and they need to lose that fugly grill. Maybe put in a billet grill as a substitute.
HOOD: they need to raise the cowl a bit and/or maybe put a scoop.
SIDE: I think this car needs some side scoops and it needs to lose that raised L-pattern in the rear quarter (hockeystick thing on bumper) cuz it detracts from the flow of the body.
REAR: I like it a bit but it really needs to lose that tacked-on spoiler (BTW, is that the same wing on the current S-281E and 99-00 S-351's?). This car looks better with just the duck tail alone. It also needs to retain the 3-bar tail lamp cuz without it, it doesn't look like a mustang. Another thing that needs to be taken out is the black plastic panel (I know the S-7's have em but they just look cheap). Lastly, the liscense plate needs to be recessed back into the bumper like on the original 05 GT and it needs to retain the fake gas cap to maintain heritage and originality.

Overall...I really dig the car and it looks much better than the Roush (not too ricey as the Roush either!)

Looks pretty good. If you get rid of that extra spoiler on the back and put some different rims on, I'm guessing it would look REAL good! I still think I like Cervini's Eleanor concept better though. Hopefully they can pull it off!

WOW! You guys read my mind. I just requested someone to take off the extra spoiler in the photoshop section. This looks almost perfect. Sorry if I am repeating myself from my other post but I think the extra spoiler will be optional. If it is not it should be.

Another thing I would change would be the foglight placement on the front bumper. I would move them into the grill area or maybe below inside one of the scoops (probably the outer most one).
