Anyone have any info from the show? Or pics to share?

Here are some pics I pulled from the facebook page.

LOOOOVE those wheels! But that car desperately needs a drop!

While I'm still P.O.'d that Ford messed with the 2010-12's perfect front end (the rear end was the only part that needed fixing and the 2013 nails it, IMO), the new Mustang is definitely growing on me and looks really good in black. Unfortunately, I'd never own a black car for obvious reasons.

why p.o.'d? you already have one & that makes yours more unique.. only a 3 yr run,
2 if you don't count the 4.6
i'm getting a '13 and glad it'll only be two yr body style.. first time since '69-'70

I still can't believe there's GT on the trunk badge. It would've looked so much better with a 5.0.

Thanks Topnotch! Looks like we finally see the headlights with the DRL LEDs on. Not sure if I like just the LEDs, would look better with with fogs on as well. Hope that's possible.

A perfect front end that you thought needed bettering by adding a Roush grill & GT/CS front valance

Just messin' with you

I love both front ends, although I do wish they'd made the '13 GT500 different again (although I can understand why they wouldn't given there's only 2 years left in this design).

The rear end is a definatey improvement though


Thanks for the additional photos TN. Looks great in black.......but STILL needs dropping an inch and a half......plus those tires need some shine!!

Hey cinque, you're right in that changes have to occur to keep things fresh and I was probably a bit overdramatic in saying that I am "P.O.'d" with the 2013's front end. I really do like the look of the 2013 Mustang, and will probably like it even more when I see it in person. Make sure to post pics of your new Mustang when you receive it!

You're right, thought they were adding the DRL LEDs like the Audi style. So do those LED bars inside the headlight light up when the normal headlight is on?

As for parking lights, I don't think I have ever used that setting on any of my cars, ever. Except maybe to check if my tail lamps aren't burned out once or twice...

Mustang/other muscle car owners are known to drive around with their parking + fog lights on. It's a really mean look, especially at dawn/dusk!

I do it in the Escape, even more now that I put Lamin-x yellow tint on my fogs, although I love driving around with all my lights now with my 5000k HID low beams!
