A better approach would be to do the entire conversion, front end + hood, using genuine Ford parts :) (or legitimate equivalent). |
Regarding the vents, it might be tougher than you think. With the 10-12 cars having the power dome, where would you put them? I think on the outside edges of the dome might work, but that poses another question - strength. If you cut the hood, is there any type of support where the vents may go? If so, you're possibly compromising the safety of the hood in a crash, and I don't think anyone wants to do that.

Everyone is getting so worked up over those tiny vents. If you're willing to spend the money to graft those little things in, you might as well just get the Tiger Racing hood and have something that really works.

Anyone else see the blackout on the back end where the license plate goes. I saw a picture of the gotta have it green boss. Looks like its a nice compliment to the blackout between the taillights.

Here's where I saw it. http://m.jalopnik.com/5873725/2013-b...n-first-photos

Sorry for the multiple posts. Here it is.

^ wow... the more I see that back end, the more I don't like it. Too much going on back there. The lights I like, the black shroud doesn't do it for me.

Looked ok on a dark car, but the lighter coors it starts to look goooofy! |
2013 gt500 6 piston brembo brakes!
Hope they will have take offs soon! |
Ill take the taillights on the 2013 everything else I'll pass.
|
Does anyone else dislike the 2013 tail lights? They are better than the 2010 but have a little too much rice quality to them. The surrounds shouldn't light up or just be black and maybe I would like them more. Dunno
|
I like 'em. Certainly a lot more than the '10-'12 tail lights. I think they'll look even great in person, out on the street :)

Everyone who may be curious how a tail light decklid panel refit would look without changing the rear bumper entirely, it looks like Roush Racing has done just that for the 2012 Grand Am race season. Here's a pic and link.

I'll be honest, if you can't really see anything past the rear bumper, I may just leave mine that way. Someone that has a car with a color available in the 2013 might feel differently, but the cost savings for a minor appearance tweak.
