Oh there is a cowl hood 429. Its just very hard to see through the camo...

 

It might be an option. Isn't there going to be a bright chrome and dark chrome package? I thought I read that somewhere here?

 

I'd still have to go with the dark chrome, because I don't like the bright chrome around the headlights lol. I think dark chrome headlights with body colored grille will look the best. But that's just my preference..

 

The brakes on the GT appear to be carry-over items. This is an area where Ford could have easily improved upon.

 

What is that weird decal on both cars just behind the headlight that make it look like the headlights wrap around? Is it just to mess with us?

 

I think so. We were discussing it before...looks like its just a sticker to throw us off.

 

if you look at the gt500 pictures you will see that same decal but it is lined up so poorly you can tell it is fake.

 

I've always associated bright chrome with luxury. Unless they make an LX, all chrome should be dark.

 

That was great Red. And the POPCORN just nailed it LOL.

 

I agree. Maybe Ford's waiting until they release the 5.0L?

 

Couldn't resist...

 

The recent photos of the gt are helping me not hate it so much anymore. I still dislike it in many ways tho.

But... I still can't believe they put the v-6 blackout all the way around the bottom! Fords way of saving money on paint!?? Would look alot better if the rockers were at least painted.

I am excited for the orange color, I know alot of people are going to love the grabber blue.

 

I suspect that after we see the real deal in all the colors with all the wheel combinations, stripes, etc., and a couple of SE models thrown in - some opinions will change (likely on the plus side), mine included.

 

I like the V6 corral and grille bars. I saw an S197 V6 that somebody had put a '67 corral and grill bars on and it looked a kind of like 2010 V6 grille. I'm not sure I like the blacked out (previously body colored) grille/headlight borders on the GT. I'll wait and see when the cars are fully revealed...

 

One thing I cant stand though is the unpainted black plastic ground effects on the car. It looks cheap. I much prefer the current GT's look with body colour right to the edges.

I hope there is an option to have painted body colour on those parts. Otherwise, I'm starting to think that the '05 design looks better.

 

I'm thinking Ford did this intentionally -- to make the car appear smaller, as stated in an interview by a Ford designer a few months ago. Blacking out the rocker panels and bottom part of the bumper greatly reduces the car's visual mass. They do this on trucks, too, in the form of two-tone paint.

 

kinda like the GT500?

 

Fellow TMS'ers: please wait until the camo comes off and you can really see how the black bumpers and rockers balance the car out. This is a pretty much standard thing on performance vehicles for a large black fascia insert to rise halfway up the bumper. It will "dis-appear"- trust me

 

Couple of comments..wheels look to be at least 19s on the gt and look great on both cars. The rear bumper extension looks like poop. On the red gt, it looks like there is red leather on the steering wheel, no? And it looks like the driver is trying to cover it up. Does anyone have a link to that thread with the SVO steering wheel spy shot? Any news on that?

 

Also on all those other cars, the corners of the bumper wrap down around the valance. On these 2010 mules, the black plastic wraps all the way around and just adds to the 4x4 look of all stock (minus SEs) Mustangs...
