Awesome! Thanks for the info, this is a nice dilemma to have, but the decision on the color of my *fingers crossed* soon-to-be ordered LS is a cause of stress. I looove SBY, but think the black on gray will look far more menacing, particularly on the track while catching other more expensive cars, which I already do with my STI , LOL.

 

I think the fogs would look better closer together Eleanor style. that was the first thing I did with my 2010.

 

my poor ms paint touchup...

removed upper grill fogs....removed lowest side plastic grill and then moved the bottom side grills to line up with middle bottom grill....maybe some photoshop person could add fogs to side grills to see what it might look like....

 

every car in the world comes in black :yawn:
& it's impossible to keep clean.. The LS looks insane in SB yellow

 

lol ^ you just made a 2010 V6

 

The GT500 uses the same hood for 2013 so I would assume it would fit ok.

 

Been watching the pix and specs for a few days now and I've made up my mind: I don't like the 2013 one bit. Everything I loved about the 2010-12 they managed to screw up:

- New nose looks like a harelip on botox
- New headlights look cross-eyed
- Fog lights on the GT grill enhance the cross-eyed look even further
- GT500 grill plastics look cheap
- V6 grill chrome surround looks tacky
- New taillights look cheap and tuner like, collect dust and the gloss finish scratches like hell
- Trunk lid trim plate gloss finish scratches like hell too
- Painted rocker panels make the car look pig belly fat from the side
- Rear license plate frame is useless, too big and should be body color
- Four tailpipes on GT500 is over the top (on any car btw)
- Striping on GT500 totally clashes with horizontal black elements in the rear

Obviously there are improvements too:

- Design of the lower part of the front bumper is more balanced
- Design of the front bumper splitter is more clean
- Optional Recaro’s
- Optional Brembo’s on GT Automatic
- Track apps
- Mirrors with pony projectors (useless, but cool nevertheless)

And some missed chances:

- Backup cam still not integrated in fake gas cap
- Wheel designs and finishes still ugly
- V6 and GT rear spoilers still ugly
- Still no Screaming Yellow or Grabber Orange, just yawnnn colors
- No optional Brembo’s on V6

Overall this revision is a big NO for me. They took the most beautiful Mustang ever built (2010-12) and made it look fat, old and fake. Sorry

 

Wow..! The pics of what Ford is calling a california special (white with glass roof and brembo wheels) is beautiful. Whats strange though is if you look around in some pics the tails look to have covers over them..? I also noticed that the california special has two entirely different looks. One has the stripe package, terrible wheels, and lack of fogs if you click on the make it your own link you can view that one(thanks but no thanks). The other pic has the brembo wheels and a very clean no stripe look as well as what appears to be fogs in the lower grille. That is the car thats pictured with the boss and the black v-6 in the general pic section.

 

that's more like it for the GT

 

Overall, I liked the previous front fascia better (especially on the Boss 302) but I like the rest of the car enough that I could probably overlook how crosseyed and bulbous the front of the car now looks. I like the new hood much better though. I never liked the look of the cowl hood.

 

That just looks like the old V6, like Cinque said...

 

You know, the more I look at it, the more I like the previous front end better as well. The previous car looked more 'Mustang' than this one. This one looks like a watered down Shelby, which it is. And that diminishes the Shelby.

 

I just noticed that 2013 pony package looses the horizontal bar and the frame rounding the chrome pony badge. Instead, it gets a chrome insert around entire upper grill. I used to think it is for regular V6 only but when I check the pictures from ford website, the official comments indicate it is 2013 pony package.

I am so disappoint at it. But the GT/CS looks wonderful. So I think 2013 V6 MCA package would be as good as CS.

By the way, is the selectshift auto transmission available only to GT?

 

Don't like how all of them have the same front bumper but overall very nice improvement.

 

Yea, not rlly likin that either

 

I tend to agree but don't want to sound like a hater so I'm hoping it will grow on me. Except the interior improvements (seat choices, track apps) are great as you pointed out.
Totally agree and this reference cracked me up.

Yup.

 

I really like the idea of the vented hood but the more I look at some of the newer pictures, like the one of the white CS on the Ford site, the more it reminds me of this...



Did anyone figure out if those rear lights fit a 2011-12 yet?

 

Interior changes are a BIG hit but the outside will be liked by some hated by few. We shall see what happens as they start hitting the streets
