Shant, you will be cleaning that rear panel daily for fingerprints and dust, I think. And the 'faux' gas cap now looks simply like a stick-on badge. I have a picture of my 2011 GT, same Race Red color, same picture angle, so you can see the front-end changes side-by-side.
you forgot one..







The '13 looks more like the '05 than the '10

So many sightings now but still zero pictures of the pony projection mirrors. What's up with that?

No kidding; I wouldn't have guessed! I think the '13 GTs look about 8hp better

Agreed; comp orange should always be available. I would have a hard time deciding between that and a bronze but Id be happy to have the problem.

Bronze-ish colors are not out going. Green are the new in-style colors. Browns and oranges were a thing of the 2006-2010 years. Check out the color of my avatar, that's the actual emblem on my Sunset Pearl car. It's a 2007. I have seen some 07/08 Ford Edges in a similar orange color.

Question

I just absolutely love the 5 spoke wheels on the red 2013 Mustang posted by Topnotch. Those wheels would look so very good on a red GT500. I wonder if those wheels could be widened and installed on a GT500 without running into brake caliper clearance problems ?

They look like crapmaro wheels to me!

I am not sure about widening, but perhaps you can find something similar aftermarket? I personally love the PP wheels, the wheels and track suspension make it so appealing! I just hope they dont rape us on the price.

Maybe the crapmaro wheels could be made to fit the GT500. Do you suppose they could be redrilled or would an adapter plate be needed to make them fit ?

I saw a thread on Camaro5 the other day with a Grabber blue Mustang with a set of Camaro wheels on it. I'll try to find it.

I agree with their comment just looks weird. If you like that look just pick up some of the roush wheels from a 2012

Of course folks will like what they like, that's cool. I'm sure lots of new 2013 buyers will like the new wheel designs. I'm happy that Ford keeps revising and refreshing the Mustang. IMHO, I do not like the 2013 wheels. I am partial to the classic-modern 'Bullitt' style 5-spoke design. Here's some pics of the ones I like (the first one is my own 2011 GT, 19" nickel wheel):
