This one doesn't have the parking lights on, yet the LEDs inside the headlights are still lit up. Think DRLs?

Something's wrong with that front end, I don't know why but, something is definitely not working there for me... I would rather doing a 10-12 GT500 front conversion on my 2012 than having a 2013 GT front end... In my humble opinion of course.

I'm not liking the new front end at all.

It looks a little familiar, and not in a good way.

The Mustang II was the only other Mustang to have a rolled down front end that had the hood overlap the grill.

The similarity may be more obvious here.

Out of all of the past design styles they could have borrowed from, the Mustang II is the one that should be locked away and never spoken of again.

certainly looks that way.. guess we'll see when they're out, pre-production ones are very inconsistent

The new spray synthetic quick detailers and no residue waxes make black cars much easier to live with.
