looks like a cross between CDC's Mustang and the Elenor Kit with a paint job and foose rims

 

What quarter window scoops are those? Looks good.

 

TOTAL STEAL. He takes the amazing look of Saleen's front end with the so-so look of Roush's rear end and puts them together without any real design ingenuity.

Design Originality = Thumbs down
Overall Look = Thumbs up
Interior Upgrades = Thumbs down

 

:notnice:

 

I think the ducktail is from CDC...anyone know for sure? Those wheels are way over the top for me. I think black is already played out.

 

Sorry, but how on earth do you get the Saleen front end (besides the smaller lights by the headlights, who copied the Eleanor, which Foose designed in the first place) and the Roush rear end?

Foose Rear:


Roush Rear:


I can't image two more opposite designs for the rear than Roush (as busy as humanly possible) and Foose (clean).

 

I don't think that is a CDC ducktail. CDC comes down further on the sides (down to the bumper seam)

Personally its too busy for me. I do like the hood shape (minus the hood scoop), the ducktail, and the headlight treatment.

 

Well, in terms of the NEW 2005 Mustang only (this means you pretend no other Mustangs exist before the 05' model year), the front end is like Saleen, excluding the annoying lower fog lamps. Seriously, the mini-center-fogs and the off-set logo are copied first from the already-in-production Saleen.

Next, the rear was my mistake. Foose's is too flat and boring (still FROM Saleen if you pretend as mentioned early on) and Roush's? Well, let's just say I am VERY happy with Saleen's rear end. Roush wins my vote for worst I have ever seen. So distracting. I agree.

EDIT: Oh heck, they all steal design cues back and forth. No one wins with these arguments, lol...

 

Meh, I hate all the extra lights... just like on the Saleen. Other than that, it looks pretty cool.

 

.....And a price of $75000.-



Only I can say:

Do reputation and begin to sleep Chip Foose...Since it is TOTAL STEAL.






.

 

3D Carbon or Xenon.

 

It looks good, not that great though.

 

Looks like he didnt have much time for this project....
I thought he wouldve at least took the 1/4 windows out and put real vents in

 

The ducktail isn't offered by anyone I've seen but the closest is the one from Fang.
Here are some pics I stole from GarageLogic
Here's the rest of the pics.

I'm pretty sure the ducktail Foose used is Xenon's.

 

its got WAY too many lights haha

 

It looks like something Lorenzo Lamas would drive in one of his many C movies....I like stripes but not in this manner. IMO there isnt much difference between this mustang and one of the many POS dealer mock ups we have seen pics of. Oh except for the "FOOSE" on the seats.

 

Both of Foose's Mustangs look alright, BUT they are far from being something you would expect to see from Chip. Any one of us in here could have our cars modded to look just like teither of them without breaking our banks.

I always expect a Foose or Coddington car to be something "extra" special ....or whats the point in paying huge $$ for it?

 

Like others, I had really expected Foose to put a new twist on the new pony. Other than the paint job, it looks like a Roush variant. Sorry, Chip.

I really like the ducktail but that is all. I don't like the removal of the rear center cap and the front is too overdone, WAY TOO many lights. Overall, I'd give it a C. I would have expected better from Chip, that isn't his best work.
