The CS does say GT/CS on the stripe and it is bold enough to be seen if someone is overly concerned about it. The sleeper bit I see is which GT drive train...4.6 or 5.0.... Those concerned enough will know how to tell.

Same thing if one has mods for performance....most don't advertise the blower, tune, or other changes with labels all over the car.

I agree on that licence plate area. That part looks horrible, but the tail lights are beautiful.

I thought the california special with its black plastic diffuser would make the back look better in conjunction with that absurd license plate panel. I was wrong. I like the stock GT rear much better. With this its like they said well since we painted the rocker panels and lower front end we gotta put all that black plastic cladding somewhere. Yuck!

regular GT or CS, don't matter... that license plate panel surround is a complete fail.

But if you look at the 2010-2012 hoods, it has that pronounced "bump" or power bulge, or whatever you call it... then it has those sexy creases that run the length of the hood. It's absent in the 2013s.... Again, just my humble opinion. I love the hood on my 2012.
I think you're on to something here. I was thinking it was mostly the front fascia/grilles on the '13s that made most of the difference, but youre right, the hood actually curves up towards the middle, and down towards the front. Rather than the angled front with a 90deg angle on the '12s, it gives it a more rounded soft appearance.
