Whats even funnier is how things will be painfully obvious in a while....thrown a little shock into the mix...

And maybe the full flat black hood rather than the stripe.

The hood stripe needs to be wider or multiple stripes like the '70 and the hockey stick needs to merge with the hood stripes. JMO. Oh, and the rear wing needs to be higher off the deck lid. And could you do one in Grabber Blue?

Here's one Blazeone made earlier

Looks-wise, this would be the perfect Boss for me. All it needs it the tasty underpinnings Ford are developing for us

Now that we can see more angles, I really like the graphics treatment. The red trunk lid applique is intriguing, I wonder what other colours would look good in these cars.

++1 for the skunk!!

I would have toned down the lower side and rear quarter treatments, but the hood and roof look awesome. Also, the red/skunk on the rear look fantastic. Very cool design.

So...about that Boss now...

Lol apparently Ford's graphic rendering staff think the Mustang should have 14" rear brakes too.

And **** them! I thought of the red center deckled first! I just didn't say anything. Actually, my idea was a Saleen/Ford/CDC decklid panel painted red. Shrugs...

Looks like the work is still evolving a bit. Note the calipers have changed colours, the phantom backup cam, the roof decal isn't in any of the other renderings, and the the dark stripes on the doors don't go over the red of the front fenders in some pics.

Hey, you're right for the first pic! The small lettering on the side has also disappeared.

Currently given my situation I'd love to see the LM Skunk Works logo on the faux gas cap for this one.

I KNEW the skunk would be on the faux gas cap!! See guys I get some things right! This one only because I work with said skunk company but hey, I was kind of right

I have to agree. Throw some flat black, graphics, nose cones, and wheels on a California and now its a limited ed... I don't think so. But to each their own..
