Still not crazy about those goofy black pieces on the lower front corners.

Yeah, I agree.

It's nothing that a chin spoiler can't fix though.

I think I actually like the vert more in this iteration that I have in a long time. I usually don't like it since it shows the ribs of the top so much. Now if they could just make a hardtop convertable!!! I love the look of a solid roofline and hate to give it up, but would really like the luxury of an open roof. Hardtop convertable is the ONLY way to go.

Oh hell yea, that's one thing i obviously agree with. only thing is, after the black Cheeto cover up is taken off, it might compliment the car well, especially with the black grille. And if it's that golden orange color we've been seeing from Ford, that may look pretty sick.

That's a good point.

Some will probably get a GT500 rear valence

Meh, I want the real deal. There's nothing much left that can be seen under the camo. Good thing there is all these great teaser pics coming out to fill in the blanks (insert heaps of sarcasm)

totally the gt500 rear bumper looks much better!

edit: i thought that was the gt500 but that looks like a GT and i think from that angle it looks really good.

Call me crazy, but I've never had a problem with the GT's stance.

Ok... I asked this once before in the last set of spy pics.... Why are they "camo"ing the bottom part of the lower grille? It looks like a waste of zebra from the pics we've seen so far.


Also, why are the badges covered up again?? We all know it's a Mustang and the previous set with the Grabber Blue vert not only had the badges displayed, but the black striping too?? What gives??


Or is there going to be some sort of surprise in store for us patient types?

i am going to take a wild guess and say because the badges are covered up these may be older pictures

I see this pic and you can see how much they shaved down the wheel wells. Barely an edge to it.

Actually, I'd say it's more like they brought the body out further, thus visually reducing the lip over the wheel wells. That hip bulge had to come from somewhere.

That rear is still Fugly. That will take a long time to grow on me. I can not belive they could not come up with something better than that.

I think it looks great. It makes the current rear look plain.
