Many already said before by others but:
-Hips
-"C" vs "L" side indentions.
-Give it a factory ductail
-Make the inner edge of the tail lights more vertical so that they go with the -LeMans stripes (parallel to them)
-Move the fog lights out towards the edge of the grill
-slant the supports between the lights and fogs (like on the concept and GT500)
-Add a 69-70 style hood (center ridge) like Fang has.
- Make flat black hoods an option again
-Bring back the grabber colors
-"Black out the bottom like on the GT-500
- Make LeMans stripes a factory option

I personally want to get away (a little) from the old car clones. That has been done before -- I don't want my new car to look like an old clunker.

I'm a former owner of a much beloved '67 Mustang, but I'm going to go against the general grain here and oppose adding more retro type things like "hips".
My own personal opinion is that in general Ford hit almost the perfect mix of modern styling with a retro heart already. As much as I love the classics, I don't want to see the new cars start duplicating them in detail, also as long as the new cars continue to sell strongly, I doubt that they're going to make huge changes on the next facelift.

You'll probably see hoodscoops and sidescoops on the current platform, say around 06 as an 07...
Just a hunch

When people say "just a hunch," it's never just a hunch!

Where does the word on an O8 face lift come from? Ford said the present body would run thru O9 before any changes would appear in 2010.
Personally I think there should be an improvement and some fascia and minor body changes by O8 or O9 just to keep things fresh for any future competition.

well, they can easily add scoops by making new stamps for hoods, and also making stick-on side scoops
he is probably right, there will be many changes before 08, just like the changes from 99-04

Typically it would have the "easier" exterior-type mods: hood/side scoops, new wheel choices, modified front/rear fascias.
Typically the interiors get a more thorough refresh - by that time, Ford will likely have new corporate radios as well (with AUX interfaces I'm sure) which would be integrated as well.
In terms of powertrain, I'm sure they'd do something small to bump HP by 10-20 across the board.

Ouch, I hope not...
The 94-04 mustangs had the same interior...with exception of stereo upgrades and the clock removed and added to the stereo...
Got old...quick

almost looks like my car - minus the 1/4 window scoops
