Did you notice the seemingly functional scoops in the widened rear quarter?

Here's a video showing some of the sheet metal work...

I think it needs to look a bit over the top specially since it's going in front of an album cover. IMO I think looks kinda cool, but personally would never do something like that to my car. Did anyone catch the Camaro in the background in that clip?

You can barely see the nose... It'll probably look like this one from SEMA when finished.

Laaaaaaaaame. I can't stand those retarded wheels on a Mustang. It's a workingman's car, always has been, always will be. Keep your bling on the imports and over-priced status symbols please.

Not a fan of fake scoops... it almost looks like the graphed on a 2007-09 GT/CS nose on it w/ a billet grille. I like 5 star wheels on Stangs, but these are not my cup of tea...

It's not bad. Flamboyant, yes, but much better than I expected.

The point of a Mustang is to make it your own...that's exactly what they did. At least the wheels are black and not CHROME!

I think it looks good. Fake scoops, 24's, yeah yeah, but in reality, everything still flows together well. Also it doesn't scream bling - everything is blacked out, not chromed.

Lets save the ricer/bling name calling for the real abominations like this:



The Dub Edition gets my thumbs up.

Heh, everyone's all anxious to get mainstream appeal and respect for the Mustang, it gets it and now we're all a little over protective? Can't have your cake and eat it to.

It's amazing how much this car looks like the full Cervini's Eleanor kit for the 05-09 coupes....

That said, Red Jay's prespective is exactly how I'd take that car. The integral side scoops into the widened body look incredible. As do the flat black stripes. Lose the DUBbing though.

...The exterior appearance of the enhanced vehicle benefits from a custom gloss black paint job with flat black racing stripes and a Street Scenes body kit backed by a set of custom 22- and 24-inch wheels wrapped in Pirelli tires. The vehicle also features a billet grille, hood scoop, tinted taillights, angel eyes headlights and a Borla exhaust...

Ford has just released a video about the car.

Regardless of what you think of the car, you need to hear what Jim Farley Group VP, Global Marketing, has to say starting at 2:10 in the video.
