You said it! It won't matter if they are black, they will just blend in with the rest of the car.

Love the new pictures, glad to see more of the black one now. I'm just waiting for the next tidbit of info Ford leaks to Brad.

Yes, Jetsolver posted them on the first page but thanks for putting them in again! Some people may have missed the first page and we don't want to chance missing any pictures of this car.

Hope they lower them a bit more -- still look like they are ready for off-road duty.

And I sure hope they make better hood stripes, becuase those look cheap and horrible IMHO.
I don't think I would like my ground effects to be dragging on the ground when I get up to speed.

You lower it anymore and you will have to avoid speedbumps and gutters that cross roadways. It is awesome as is, I just want to know what it costs so that I can get ready.

Would it be unacceptable to put that front end on a regular GT, not any cobra emblems just that type front end, I wouldn't be hanged by REAL shelby owners right? Cause it looks sweet!
yeah, same thoughts here?

The front fascia matches the unique Shelby hood. You can't retrofit them on GT w/o changing the hood as well.

I wish FORD would've come up with a better ducktail. Don't like the one they use. YUCKKK!

Agree with Route 66, Ford could have done a better job on the ducktail. At least there is always the aftermarket.

It all comes down to the bottom line, an integrated ducktail would require a new trunk/rear end. I still think they should do it though. And keep the leather dash too.

I still think they could execute a ducktail much better without redesigning the trunk/rear end.

I'll second the vote to keep the leather covered interior from the GT500 concept.

I noticed that the rear spoilers in these pics are differnet than the original. I like it better but i went with the Roush. I do like the front clip and will look into a change out at some point. I dont care what people think its my car i paid for it. I looks like ford is going with this hood as opposed to the one in the orginal pics. I liked the other one better.....
