I'm loving the new rear end, but who here thinks that the license plate area is just too big and out of place?
I'm thinking a little smaller or painted the body color, if the car has stripe delete it's just going to be this big black blob back there. Or if the stripes were white, that would prob look weird too.
Here are a couple of Photoshop options I did, what do ya think?

Finally a semi decent picture of the chrome surround of the V6 grill. Once again not my thing but relatively easy to fix with some matt black paint. Still the best of the new grills imo.

I agree and I think the stripes totally clash with the black panel between the tail lights too. It's just too much.
Either have stripes as the only contrast to the body color (like on the previous editions) or no stripes at all.

Not sure how they say the front looks more aggressive on the GT. Just looks bulbous to me. The car looks heavier and fatter. The painted side skirts just look out of place and the rear in those live shots just looks huge. People *****ed about the black plastic on the '10-'12. That whole rear is black plastic now. Can you say scratched to hell? Must see this in person but right now the '11-'12 GT is far a more aggressive sleeker looking mating than the '13. Must see in person.

I think it looks extra bright because of the camera flash, but yeah, it's pretty light... I wish they'd bring back Alloy, but I'm just glad they brought any kind of grey.

Not really crazy about the 13.
Dislikes:
1.the front end looks like a patch up job.I like the 11 gt500 front but this one doesnt do it.
2.I def dont like the light set up on the rear. Looks like a Matchbox car kit or something in that effect. makes the car look like a toy and look cheap
Likes:
Like the hood with vents but havent seen a clear shot of vents
Like the display w/tree with 1/4 mile info etc..very cool
Pony display on ground when door opens
Automatic - can manual shift
brembo package offered in auto
If anyone in my opinion has 11/12 I dont see the reason to switch a 13.I would wait for the big 50th in 14/15

Again, just my opinion, but that red surround on those new rear lights is just too bright..almost looks like they slapped that bright red reflector tape we used to use years ago on it. And i agree with prior poster, the new front grill looks too bulbous to me. IMHO it seems they over styled it, it's to busy, I like the simpler sleeker design of the 2012 v6 front end and rear end. Also liked the old hood with power dome, doesn't look like this one has it. But hey, thats what makes the world go round, one persons beauty is another persons ugly!!! and maybe like others have said it will look totally different in person.
