It's looks to me that they designed it to house those popular aftermarket LED DRL's. If not it would be a perfect place to mount them. However I think that the LED light bars incorporated into the new HID headlamp units really negates the need to clutter the front end with more lights... But you know it is inevitable that someone will have a GT with those new LED fogs in the grille, fogs in the lower fascia and will add those LED DRL lamps or strips... I mean really let's here it for what you could call the Interrogator Package!

Anyway I think they could have been a LOT more imaginative with the style of the lower fascia instead of making them all look like 2010-12 V6's. I do realize that the Shelby nose is more consistent with that new gaping bass mouth grille look all the new Fords are using. However it comes off looking more like Barbra Streisand's big honkin' nose...

Good info, going for broke. Plus ThrustangFiveO, your dealer will have all the info you need for ordering next month.

Those wheels look like ZL1 Camaro wheels. Much better than the current offerings so far.

Did anyone see any info on if the LED strips in the headlights/taillights can be used as DRLs without the full lights on. like how the audi accents and BMW halos work.

Front end looks boring, too much like the 10-12 v6. Rear looks phenomenal tho!!

Crooked teeth protruding through the lips tend to go hand in hand with a mullet.

Not paddle shifters, shifter-mounted toggle switch type thing.

There's no clutch with an auto trans. Only clutch packs inside of the trans. Tap shift or paddles only send a signal to the trans controller and tells it to shift.
