I think the tail lights look good in the pictures but I don't think they will look this good in person

The hood is my favorite thing about the 2013. I also love the new gauges but I will have to be satisfied with 2011 and envy the guys with the new ones.

Great refresh. Nice mixture of all S197 parts from '05-present. Ford nailed it right and I can't wait to see one in person. Perhaps adding one to the stable to keep my '05 company.

Didn't take long, but I officially love the new front end as long as the fogs aren't there.

No Brembos. They look like standard brakes to me.

Any word on the colors options on the Boss/LS yet? I can't seem to find anything to confirm. Thanks!

That car is really confusing. In the pic that TN posted, it has stripes and the CS billet grilles/offset tribar pony. In the other pics, it doesn't have stripes, has the Brembo wheels and has the V6 grille, but no 5.0 badge...

Hmmm, seeing actual pics of the tails (as opposed to perfect, factory/press pics) I'm not so sure about them. And I'm really not liking the front end or the hood and the painted rockers make the car look like it needs to visit Weight Watchers. I guess all this will grow on me, though. (I'm speaking of GT here, I'll never pay $60K for a GT500).

The track apps option is very cool and the gauges look great. The options are impressive, too. Hello Recaros!

If this truly is the last retro Mustang, I may be tempted to get one.

I prefered the unpainted rockers as well. It makes the car look more trim. It's not the end of the world though.

Those are all pre-production cars.. they're pieced together and don't represent all the correct details.
This is nothing new, almost every brochure printed has incorrect parts shown on the cars

Agree; other ones with honeycomb grill not growing on my; actually liked less the more I looked at them but the CS looks the best of the group. Without seeing pricing, I have to believe the CS with the Track options is going to be the sweet spot of the 2013 line-up.

Color options for the regular Boss 302 include School Bus Yellow, Grabber Blue, Gotta Have It Green, Performance White, and Race Red.
The Laguna Seca will be available in School Bus Yellow or Black, both of which will have gray-trimmed spoilers, mirror caps, grilles, wheels, and interior cross-braces

So The LS comes with Sterling Grey Reflective stripes and the Regular Boss comes with Black reflective stripes...And YES! Both versions come in SBY!!! PLUS The stripes on the Regular Boss go up and over and down the hood....like the Green one from the SpeedTV video a while back

Same here. And the much hated plastic "diaper" on the rear bumper was an essential part of that fit look, because it optically extended the black rockers and enhanced the stance of the whole car. I completely fail to see what was wrong with that or why it had to be changed for that matter 2010-12 FTW.

Looks like the GT will have the option to switch fog lights. U can have them in the grill or in the lower facia. Im amazed at how far my tastes differ from almost everyone on here. Im def gonna opt for the fogs in the grill. The grill fogs a huge visual que that sets the stang apart from every other sports car in the industry,which have the small lower facia fog lights.

Wonder if that hood will fit on a 10-12 GT500, or if the new front end is slightly different along the top edge and it wont line up correctly?
