I had no idea the tips looked like a rifle from the 1700s...couldn't fit a fat straight one on? Like a 3" ?

In my view, I would drop a ground effects package that looks as 'added on' as the one they're showing there. It's just too 'over the top' to me.

I really love the lines of the factory car. Adding on lengthy chin spoilers and slabs of plastic to the lower rocker panels just for looks takes so much AWAY from the car.

I do like their hood and paint scheme but I would also dump the wing. The higher the profile they put on a wing, the worse it gets.

This car only needs a ducktail to add to its beautiful profile. Possibly a subtle chin spoiler but the other junk they're showing is just, well, junk.

The basic car is just so clean and well executed, the aftermarket will have a tough time improving upon it.
So far I have to agree. With the exception of a concept hood and aftermarket wheels, I think this car might look best totally stock

I like the hood bulge, but think the front spoiler looks like an afterthought. I agree with the rear spoiler comments - a ducktail would look better. I think MRT is designing a ducktail...

That rear wing has to go. Just for that is reason i'd forgo a Steeda.

Quoted for truth, thanks MustangMan. The wing is functional and the car is beefy, there's no rice here.

Yeah you should hold off on dissing a body kit if its going to make the car more aerodynamic... the first steda pic in this topic looks pretty cool, it looks a lot like the GR concept... the only thing I dont like is the spoiler which can be clearly seen in the other pics... it just looks goofy =/ but the one in the first pic looks different so I dont know.

The rims, hood and side mirrors are cool, the tail has got to go. Looks the same to me, just a different angle.

I think these are going to be really popular in Pittsburgh.
They look more like "Steelers" editions, just remove the GT badge and put a team logo sticker in its place, then change the front glass shield to a Steelers version instead of Steeda -- then rename it from Q400 to "Big Ben"

ps- I am NOT a Steelers fan, my thoughts were purely invoked by recognizing a Steelers Mustang
