Sorry but the front end on the GT if f###ing hidious. The blackout upper grille bezel looks dumb and the lower grille is ugly. The V6 is a lot better looking, albeit less agressive. The design flows better, where as the GT looks like it head butted a shredder.

It's all subjective

Funny how speaking the same language, and much of that speak coming from the same country that we may not understand each other. It took me all of the previous posts to realize that the word tag describes what we call "license plates" in Indiana. I was totally unfamiliar with the term tags. I was trying to figure out what kind of tag was placed on the front and where.

(no offense meant to anyone from any country other then the USA, i was just trying to limit the geographics of the language barrier).

I use both "tag" and "license plate." It just depends on the context. I also use "pop" and "soda."

But not "sodee." That's just stupid.

I like the GT's front better. It's not that the V6 is ugly but much like the 2005 I just prefer the fogs in the grill. Also I do not like the HID's al all, the standard lights just look better to me. Though I do find something strange, why do they paint the areas right next to the grill on the V^ but the GT's are left black? Not that I don't like it but just seems odd to me.

I think the black makes it look that much more aggressive.

Redo of the GT front

I whipped this out in about 15 min. so don't harp on the quality too bad, but eliminating the mutton chops and adding a small lip to the bottom, as well as, body coloring the grill bars, and I looks much better then the V6. I think ford tried a little too hard on this. Whaddya think?

Congrads, I like your version much more. Though it isn't much of a difference it looks much better! I hope the after market offers us this or that they make a change in 11' for that kinda grille.

Did I miss something here? If the above 2010 Mustang is a V-6, why are the turn signals on the inside of the headlights? Is this a GT500? I don't get it......................

The standard headlights are on the outside of the turn signals on the V6 and GT. The optional HIDs are on the inside of the turns on both models(and probably the GT500 as well).

I friggin' love it! I want that car now! I see you made the grill surround and door sills body color, excellent! What can you do with the rear?

Ford, are you listening???

Very nicely done! That looks really good, especially removing the mutton chops!

I never noticed that! I must have looked at a couple hundred 2010 Mustang pictures by now. I knew that there was something different, but I wasn't sure what!
