Man, some people will find anything to complain about. This thing is BAD A$$! It looks even meaner, and the wheels are gorgeous.

Actually I find it funny because people complain if a Mustang design isn't aggressive enough or too subtle (because it's a Mustang and it shouldn't look like a wimpy import), but they also complain when it's too daring or "overdone".

Those hood vents mean business (a la Ford GT), as does the whole look of the car. I think it is perfect.

I think it would be interesting to be able to go back to 04 forum threads, when the 05 spy shots were coming out and read what people were saying about the S195 back then. Were they praising it or bashing it?

Is it my imagination, or do you see some similar lines to the '67 Baracuda?

I was around back then when Brad first started the site up. It's hilarious because the reactions back then were virtually the same as they are now. With some it's love at first sight. With others it takes time for the new look to grow on them. Once all the production pics are out and everything is said and done, usually you get about 80-90% good opinions on the car. Which is pretty high imo

I would like to ask... does it seem the offset of the wheels is much deeper than the 05-09s? Those are some seriously nice wheels on it... must be an optical illusion... but it sure seems the mounts are *way* farther in board...

2. The rear lower valance, ie. the black part

and I dont know about any of you, but this popped into my mind when I saw that Shelby front end...enyone else think of this too?

I can't get that image out of my head - maybe seeing it without the camo and with a nice set of stripes will help...

Why buy from Ford when you can get replicas for $200 cheaper?

It's all what you buy. I bought "Detroit Wheels" chrome Bullitts for my '01 and the quality was terrible. At least you're assured quality when you buy Ford.

I'm sure that they're other aftermarket parts that are fine; just do you're research before you buy.
