If Gary sticks with white & black stripes, his b&w TX plates will look awesome there.

Yeah, I think the white 500 might be the only one that looks "okay" with that giant hole.

That's an excellent idea. I'll be waiting for your results.

Saw a 2013 GT for the first time today at the local dealership. The rear looks really good in Black, Sterling Grey, and also White from what I've seen so far. The GT's I saw did not have the fogs in the upper greille either.....Liking it. Gotta say, the 2013 Mustang is growing on me.

FYI: Just got an ETA from my dealer a few minutes ago of 4.19 for delivery. Will also be painting the hood vents at the same time but I think youre all set there.

Yeah I think the only stangs this year with grille fogs are non-MCA/CS/Boss GTs. Not even PP V6s IIRC. Those fogs are one of my favorite styling points so glad my GT will have them. I seem to be in the minority lately though. Changing styles & tastes, I guess. The Roush grilles are hot though, even without fogs.

Oh man I'm so jealous. My 29th birthday is 4/20 (yea thats right ). How sweet it would have been if my cars ETA was within a day or 2 of that and actually followed through.

Doesn't bother me either but I have a white car coming. Whenever you have different colors there will always be certain features that look better/worse from color to color.

That white looks really good probably because it's a CS and the lower middle part of the rear is either plastic Or Painted black. Breaks it up better IMO.

Also some colors make the rear look horrific. Not liking the red.

Yeah definitely not liking the red.

I think the blues work but not as well as black, silver, gray, and white. Or any car with black stripes. Except red.

Who would have thought that this rear would probably cause more problems than the last one did. (in the long run)

I really think a majority like the taillights, but the shiny plastic back panel is a real problem.

Here a quick attempt at blocking out the black plastic. Let me know if there is a different color you want to see. This is if the black plastic is removed or some how smoothed out. It would be harder to do the color and texture but I think I'll give it a try.

This is how I would do it, paint the outside pieces and leave the plate surround black.

I like it! The lp surround shouldnt be hard to remedy, just takes some time and paint and thats it

I think the rear looks great how it is. I wouldn't spend $40,000 on a car I didn't love from head to toe.

Appreciate it, and as we all know, ETA's are subject to change as Deysha likes to remind us.

Yeah, my hood vents are just fine. Well...they will be when they're put on the car, whenever that is.

Here's the photo without the plastic being smoothed or removed, just painted.
