1. I don't like the way they crammed all that junk into the "gas cap" badge and they have the same thing on the steerin wheel. Ewww!

2. I wish they added the closely-set shelby style fogs in the grill.

3. Why are there no quarter window scoops?

4. Something isn't right about the rear end. It looks good but I don't know..something is out of place. (love the spoiler...I'm spoiled)

Here's your SVT logo, where it matters too.

1. You need to put the name and logo somewhere. Nice design.
2. I would agree the lights should have been in the grill similar to the GT models but closer together.
3. Maybe we'll see some in the production model? They figure it has to be functional, so make it a rear window vent.
4. I like the rear except for the lower facia. It should be painted along with the rockers. The exhaust looks better on the GT's. Again, we may see something different here. We know the hood will be different.

No secret on redesigned hood. Ford has admitted this. Sorry, they didn't elaborate.

#2 Something along the lines of this?

Edited: Moved all chops to here for easier viewing. Sorry I'm having way too much fun with this, as you see! Maybe this should be a poll?

Raise them. And not quite so close together. Do a side by side.

They are illegal.

1967 GT-350s & 500s came with both the fogs in the middle and set apart depending on which states they were shipped to. Today I belive they are illegal everywhere.

Ford has admitted nothing. Nothing was said about this. What you see is extremely close to the finished product.

No one from Ford has been quoted to such statement. You can prove me wrong by offering the source which didn't "elaborate".

What Ford has asserted is that the two vents are required, designed for ventilation and to eliminate vibrations caused by trapped air, a commonly and apparent problem on the Mustang GT, which in case you don't know, does not have a vented hood.

I like this, what about removing the other lights in the lower fascia?

The 5% of this car that will change will probably be the wheels.

Found it, it is in the pic of the front end of the car that points out the features. It says "Look will change slightly on production model".

I don't like rear lights. They should look more like on concept model. Then that would be perfect Shelby.
