The rear spoiler and the rear lights are not a good match. Otherwise it looks very good. I specially like the suspension upgrades.

It looks like a character from the new Cars Movie.

The color is pure look at me coming down the road toward you. It has shock value. We knew that it was a hate it or love it color when we went with it. The thing about the color is that no mater what it forces you to have a comment. Whether it is get me a trash can so I can heave or WoW that’s out there and possibly even a few thumbs up for the bold move. It just works for the show car. And quite honestly it is the Twisted Edition of the package so having a color that is a little off helps. Also we did not want to stigmatize it as an “E’ car even though the styling “Q†are their. We are working to get a more mainstream color of car done for this year also. As a mater of fact maybe we should see what the people here at The Mustang Source Forums think they would like to see for a color on our next car.

Pictures seem a little dark (could be my monitor). Took them into an editor and upped the gamma. I like the rear lights, especially how they manage to do it with what looks like a stock trunk lid.

The front seems too busy, and the side scoops aren't doing it for me.

Sure it goes like a beast tho.

Dark (Highland) Green with lighter stripes might look great for your mainstream color version...

A Twisted Special Edition needs to be Grabber Orange. But anything that contrasts well with the black stripes would work: Satin Silver, Screaming Yellow, Torch Red, Performance White...

Here is a lighter shot of the taillights on the Mustang. They will probably end up slightly different than these. More true to the 67 Shelby style.

The color is outrageous no doubt, I love the tail lights and the rear spoiler along with the wheels. The rest is too extreme for my tastes, just my $.02

Reminds me of the 1968 Cougar GT-E ram air hood except this one has no ram air.

When I first saw this car I thought it was a 65-66 that was heavily modded. As far as other color options, I like Grabber Blue (A lot of you knew that was coming). It's loud and traditional at the same time.


I especially like the front facia. Too bad you can't buy it as a separate piece (according to info from Thalon's web page).

I think it's an eleanor wannabe with a new paint job and some faux twister special graphics
Bad execution all across the board IMO

Maybe I'm missing the point..who knows
just not my style i guess
