Its not ugly or hot its just OK. It is far better then what Corvette did to their C6's rear end. Looks like it backed into a wall at 25mph and got squashed up :notnice:

 

What are you going to do with a pole on the internet?

 

I like it better than I do a Roush.Theres something about it that I like.

 

Well since you've all been waiting for a Saleen owner to chime in.....I honestly didn't like the look of the Saleen at first....didn't care for the grille or the taillights or the rear paneling. Was actually leaning more towards a Roush. Then I saw the Saleen in person and realized how cool it actually was. Shortly thereafter, I bought a beautiful sonic blue Saleen....bought it from a dealer who also sells Roush....I'm definately happy I bought what I did.

 

Overall, I think most of the teams involved in the Mustang high-performance aftermarket rushed it. The '05 Saleen is a perfect example of that.

I have evolved into a minimalist design lover (Gallardo), so this Saleen is just tacky to me.

 

Definitely looks better in person..just like the fanblades!!

 

As someone else said "fugly".... I have a feeling they just HAD to do something and knew others would be doing the ducktail thing, so they did something sort of euro-japo-hightecho... <chuckle>

Didn't stop me from buying their springs, though...

It's awesome; love it! Looks great in person and the whole car looks like more of a "piece."

No, the rear doesn't look exactly like a retro Mustang, but where is it written that it has to? Forget your preconceptions, and it's a stunning looking car. Far better and more cohesive than ANYTHING from Steeda or Roush, IMHO.

 

Love the look...sorry guys



But the boys over in Irvine couldve done a better job on the wing though..

 

I like the side skirts. And NOTHING else.

For 05, I'm partial to the Roush myself, though I could do without the fork lift inserts on the Roush tail...I LOVE the aggressive front end.

I've always loved Saleens, but the rear on the 05+ looks like it took a boot low and hard. I do really like the lower 1/3, exhaust and diffuser outlets, but as a whole, the whole rear does not look right. It does look better in person.
