With the painted grill surround you are right.

I think on the 2012 Boss painted grill surround is factory

Whoa... Against first impressions, I'm going to say the 2012 BOSS looks meaner.
The more I look, the less I like the shark nose and front bumper cover.
I still think Ford did a good job, but I'm proud to say I prefer the 2010-2012 front end.

I dont like the headlights set inside on the 2013. Looks cross-eyed. Overall I like the 2013, but still kerping my 2012. Better chance of staying married that way

Love them both.. I'll take either one!

Until I saw that SB yellow Boss I thought the '13s would never look anywhere near as good as the '12s..

Yellow makes every car look better, even ugly ones

Btw more pictures from the Auto Show floor to demonstrate the pathetic finish of the new tail lights and trunk lid plate. Mind you these are BRAND NEW cars. Just imagine what they will look like after a year of use

The two front end pics are a nice comparison; I am biased, owning a 12 that I plan on keeping for 25 year, but I think the 2012 looks more classic like. I do agree and think the 2013 looks meaner but the fisherman in me just sees catfish, especially with the HID's. Great looking car but I got the look I wanted to lock in with the 12.
