I like it. Great showcar. I don't even care anymore if Eleanor is played out, my sheep days are over.
I think the new cobra should have used something like the wide taillights on it.

Well I think I see two basic trains of thought with cars and our Mustangs in particluar. The purists like it clean and uncluttered with non functional stuff on the outside, just performance mods and I can apreciate that view, the 05 Mustang looks beautiful as is. The other view is to mod the car however to suit your own taste and make the car unique and different than everyone elses.
I myself want to make my car look more like the 68 Shelbys I love but cant afford, which will also make mine unique and different than others. But I dont think I would go as far as all these Elenor kits either. As others have said I like the original Elenor look but the execution on our 05s tends to look over done and "uglified" when you add up all thses pieces.
I do like the front end on this one, the bumper/air dam with opening piece. I dont care for the extra fog lights stuck in next to the headlights , not on the original Elenor nor on our 05s. I think this Elenor tried to hard to have all the parts the original had and as a result looks too slapped on and over done. The side scoops with the pieces along the top dont work. Our 05 mustangs are clean along the the fenders and dont have that pronounced top strip leadeing up to the side scoop like the 68s did, trying to add that onto the 05 dosent work.

Very interested in the rear window scoops, nice looking. Does anyone have any idea when this stuff might be available. I am really only interested in the rounded look on scoops. The CDC and rest just look too square. I want them big and rounded.

I think the back end is a little overdone for my taste.
the only way I could see myself doing something like this is by "molding" the new panels in so there is a smooth transition.

We've been waiting for Cervinis for how long now? I've given up on them... What's BBR's site?

As far as this other one is concerned, looks like someone took a Saleen and tweaked it a bit here and there......
