Not sure if this has been posted, I havent seen it, but check this out. Someone has created and is selling an 05 with some Boss styling. I like the hood but the stripes and coloring isnt my thing.

That looks good. Different colors would make it better for me.

I do not know whether to or to that thing. I saw it over the weekend. The same dealer did another one several weeks ago. Also made me want to . Sorry but they cannot capture the same "look, feel, or specialness" of an original. JMO though.

How can you put 302 on the fenders when it only has a 281?

the stripes kill it... why put reflector stripes??? just put plain black stripes... anyways, it wouldnt go with sonic blue, you need a non sparkly color like screaming yellow or performance white to pull that look off... it would look amazing in this colors, not this one

The rear blackout looks good. The hood is ok. The rest is kind of

Somehow they managed to screw up Sonic Blue.

Wow, I don't want to flame anyone who may end up buying that car, but you should be publicly ridiculed for driving a 281 with 302 emblazoned on the side. Why not go all out and put Carerra 911 Turbo badges on it?

I was worried a while back that there wouldn't be any cool aftermarket parts for the 05's for a while after they came out, but obviously the stupid parts are showing up in full force, so that must mean the legitimate aftermarket has SOME good things!

another mistake the guy did was that those stripes are straight from the '69 and the "fender" lights are influenced by the '70 boss

whatever floats their boat

Doesn't work for me, just doesn't look right. The Boss 302 stripes :scratch: Maybe maybe just 281 written on the fenders :scratch: Anyway someone will buy it, I am sure.

I agree, it would look better with different colors, lose the Boss 302, lose the stripe on the rear quarter, and put a real shaker on it. Then you got something!

I kinda like those headlight covers. I wouldn't put them on my car, but they're kinda cool. I dunno....kinda.

I thought the same thing about those headlight covers, but if you scroll down they give you a good shot of the front of the car, and it just doesn't look right with the fog lights not being covered. My dad had a 69 Mach 1, so my internal image of a Mustang does not have room for any headlight covers!

Plus, he'd whip my (you know what) for putting that "stupid worthless plastic junk crap" on my car. 32 years old and still scared of my father, oh well, what can you do?

That was my initial reaction until I saw the pic with the lights on, all that light seeping out from everywhere kinda tuned me off...

It would be cool if someone would take the time to fill in those seams and prevent the light from coming out fromthe edges.

Ahhh it isn't so bad guys.. At least it has IUP.

The headlight covers just don't look right to me. Just doesn't come close to the GTR Frontend if you like that IMO.

Stripes stink too. And I don't think I want 302 or 281 pasted on my car.

It will sell though...You could put pink tires on it, paint scooby doo on the side, and mount a spoiler on the hood and someone would still buy it on ebay.

Wow! Do you know where I can get a car like that? Have you seen one? Cool!

Not much I can say that I really do like about it....First time seeing the blacked out rear on the SB color and it looked pretty good....color scheme just looks way off to me.......like a blind man picked the colors and had it painted up....

I like it. as he stated, it has been customised to "resemble" a Boss 302, how many shelby clones out there that do not have the correct engine / running gear etc? not sure about the colour. If had been yellow, that's be a different matter!
