The 2005 Saleen to me is a serious letdown. I wouldn't say "ugly", but I wouldn't trade my GT straightup for one... much less pay 10K more for it.

You should have made a poll. My vote is for ugly.

I like the rear...wish the plastic pieces were flat and din't have those horizontal raised lines.

Personally, I think they were trying to tie the S7 rear into it.

Uh--hug--lee!! Saleen puts way too much crap on their cars, but I suppose some people like that kind of stuff.
What he said! :notnice:

I like it as long as it doesn't cover up any of the taillights. However, I like it as a different car, a Saleen. Personally, I don't want my car to look like that at all, as I'm sticking with the retro look.

But, for what the Saleen is, I think it is cool, much more so than the Roush.

IMHO, with the possible exception of the CDC rear lip spoiler; I have yet to see a single scoop, flare, spoiler, skirt, bumper cover, or any other screw-on, stick-on, or tape-on piece that does anything but detract from the clean and handsome lines of this car. Again just my 02 cents, but "Less is more" especially with the '05!

Webmaster, please don't move this post to some Saleen page. I want to hear from regular Mustang people.

I personally think the 05 Mustang Saleen has an ugly rear design. The added length, cutting off a tail light, and then boxing the lights in is sad. I think it looks like an Olds Achieva.

What do you all think? :scratch:




As you requested. I will move this to the High Performance 2005+ section

I thought the method of removing the inner tail light lenses looks extremely cheap. I don't really like anything about the Saleen come to think of it.

Ugly.

Waiting for a saleen owner to chime in anytime.
<<< former owner; my 1999 looked better. Center exhaust is better; but over all ... pass.

Saw one in person the other day. It looked better in person than the photos I've seen. Still not my cup of tea.

Too busy on the rear end - and too much of the classic Saleen "long and lean" look - they should have kept with the era and lines of the classic fastback design.....
