- Trunk lid trim plate gloss finish scratches like hell too
- Painted rocker panels make the car look pig belly fat from the side
These are the same items I view as negatives. I'd rather the gloss finish to NOT be so. After several years of seeing the "slimming effect" of the black trim, I actually appreciate more.

I like the look of the 2013 but I still prefer the black trim of the 2010-2012. It slimmed the car down visually. And when it Gomes to the GT grill the black trim made it appear more aggressive.

All in all the refresh of the 2013 Mustang is more than subtle. With all its updating it should stand out as the most unique of all the S197s running only one model year. Being old school, I still prefer the look of my 2009 C/S. That being said I really like the improvements to the rear fascia and would prefer the fogs to be on the lower bumper and not on the grille. And the 2013 Shelby is simply an animal. At the end of the day, of all the pony cars, the Mustang will always be the one. Quite frankly i'm still not getting it with the new Gen 5 Camaro. It's been an interesting generation for the Mustang and IMHO Ford did a great job of winding it down the way they did.

This refresh WILL last TWO years before a new model in 2015.

I'm also a fan of the black trim on the bottom. I also don't care for the older looking side skirts on the new car.

After seeing that video, I'm very skeptical on the new tails. Maybe in person they will look better (they look really orange in the video) but in the vid they do look a bit game show-ish.

I like the taillights although I had no problems with them before....the problem I have now is how tall the front end looks...it just doesn't seem to have that low, mean stance that the 2010-2012 had...

I like the 2013 a lot more. I was waiting to be really disappointed but surprisingly I am not. That front end looks great. The Boss looks fantastic. And the Shelby is better than Viagra. The tails are just ok. But it's better than the 12. Can't wait to see it in person.

The tail lights are one thing, but why did they have to F with the HID's?

Exactly. Headlights look cheap.

Yeah. Those lights were not necessary. The front end would have looked better with the previous style light. Great overall improvement regardless.

Like others have said ... Ford should have left the GT500 front end on the GT500. The 2010-2012 Front Clip with the 2013 RearEnd would have been a perfect Mustang.

The Front of the Mustang now looks too such like a Dodge Charger ...

I've always preferred the blacked out valances and side skirts of the 2007-2009 GT500's ... and the 2010-2012 Mustangs. All of the body colored parts make the car look squat and fat.

Heres my idea for a new project. Get a rear fascia kit from ford and put it on my '12 v6. Get the gloss black bits painted in a flat black finish, put a lil night shade on the switchbacks in the middle. Leave the front as is or maybe get the '11-12 gt/cs or maybe saleen front fascia. Halo projector headlights and bam, exterior perfect(:

Wow, Ford will let you order a V-6 Premium with leather Recaro seats....anybody want to bet on the rarity of that package combination? Might make for an interesting comparison with the new Hyundai though, spec'd out with all the performance goodies and the Recaro seats.

Yeah all we need now are the Torsen bits and Brembos and I'd be happy. Oh, and let us option the V6 300A with cloth Recaros.
