Cervini has that design for the (05-09)

 

If they do chrome, lets hope that it stays on the base model, or as an add to some sort of pony package.

 

Those front turn signals are nasty-assed (Oops! Sorry, Boomer...). And I'm being kind...

Aha, I see. At least it's on the bumper and not on the wing (sorry, fender )

 

i dont think im gonna like the 2010 stang too much...

they need the turn signal on the outside of the light if they want it to look retro...

once again they try to do the retro thing and settle for something halfass...

cervini's design looks better in my opinion

 

No way, that is the best place for them. In a photoshop i did a couple years ago i put them inside the headlights as well.

 

I don't know how the 05-09 standard lights are for night driving but maybe it's safety thing. Chrome would emit more light at night. And the way it is set up would make it pretty cool looking lit up at night time.

 

Me likey, looks like a lot of rake to the front grille too

 

Proportionally it does not look right. And it has that aftermarket look to it, not like something that belongs on there.

 

Sorry folks but I'm not digging it. Maybe if they use a clear lens and an amber bulb and lose the chrome??

So far nothing I've seen about the 2010 is giving me a warm and fuzzy. Tail lamps included.

Maybe the rumored engine choices could over come the bodywork but then again, the turbo V6 replacing the v-8 is another rumor out there.

Also in my opinion, the "G" type concepts almost make me hurl. So for now, I'm glad I have my '06.

 

I do like that chop. I don't mind the body colored headlamp surround and the use of the gills for turn lamps. I like the more protruding grille opening with the headlamps set back in depth. The front bumper is clean and very effective incorporating the need for modern crash standards. Even the hop-up in the quarter panel is clean and not too ornate. I like the integrated ducktail in the back. I also like the complete C-scoop. Small round fog lamps are suggestive of the round parking lamps the classic models had. The quarter window louvers look correct instead of adpated-looking. I am not sure about a solid chrome rocker. Maybe if it was chrome and black ribbed it would look better to me.

Overall it's a very good almost literal translation of the classic body style without looking dated or resorting to too much ornate surfacing.

 

That chop is sweet. One of my favorites. But along with the ambers inside the headlights, I would like to see the turn signals still in the corners of the bumpers as they are now. AND I personal would like the fogs/drive lights back in the grille... NICE!!

 

I'm going to tag along with what other have said in other threads. This car photographed here is probably representative of the "base" model. Look at the Pony right now. It has a ton of chrome on the front if you order the pony package, and as singular pieces I thought they looked terrible, especially when Brad had released just the spy photos of the chrome grill inserts.

These are test mules by the way, detailing like chrome grill surrounds and a pony in a chorrall to offset the "weight" of the chromed headlights will probably help to better balance the look of the vehicle.

Lastly, remember that this is just a "freshening" of the 05-09 design. This mustang is going to as "all new" as the current F-series Superduties were from their last iteration... just a different face with the same overall proportions, nothing major in the tooling. Plus I do agree with those before me who have said that it will grown on all of us. The 99-04 looked terrible IMO when it first came out, but it grew on me and now I consider that era to be one of the more attractive models since the late 60's early 70's.

 

 

It looks like the body / panel gaps around the headlight on the 2010 Mustang are VERY tight; if you look at the bottom of the current Mustang's headlight, you'll notice a fairly significant gap.

 

looks like the new lights will be a little shorter...or squintier....comparred to the current light..

I do like that they reduced the apparent bumper to hood height. looks like got rid of the beveled edge that runs from the bumper, around the headlamp and accross the hood.

 

The more and more I look at the headlights on the 2005 to 2009 headlights I think they were originally intended to be painted the same color as the car. Ford produced them all in black because painting the area to match the car was cost prohibitive. Just my opinion. Anyway. The slats in the headlights would stand out more if they were color coordinated with the car. Is there any way to take apart the headlight to paint black area a different color without destroying the headlights?

BTW- I don't care for the new headlights on the spy shots. The car photographed appears have the GT500 hood since there is mesh on the hood in that area to allow the motor to vent through the hood vents.

 

What rims are those? They look really amazing on the car?
