I would assume you could buy the piece part for any 2011 or 10.

They will be available... because it's available on the 2010's. It's just a magnetic peel I'd assume. As it doesn't seem to be gloss finish. You can buy it now for the GT anywhere from $35-45. Also something that hasn't been stated is that the underside of the pedestal spoiler is black as well...There's a lot going on in the rear with the "GTCS" Also which exhaust tip is it? It's my understanding that the 2010 GT exhaust when applied with the GT500 diffuser looks too small, as the slots are bigger and the GT is a 3.5" vs the gt500 4"... anyone know?

I don't like how the CS is bigger then the GT, and I wish they would just get rid of all that black on the bottom on all the mustangs. Well maybe there will be a Mach1 in 2014 for the 50th anniversary, that's when I'll be about ready for a new one.

I like the GT/CS, but not the big spoiler.

Any info about colors and options for Gt/Cs?

I used to think the black plastic was a bad thing, but I have to admit, it really does slim the look of the car down. Go take a look at one that's painted with the OEM parts sprayed, you might reconsider.

I'll answer my own question! Definitely the stock GT version... I know it's only half and inch, but it just doesn't fill the gap as well. not the end of the world tho...

That rear would look good on the GT with a take off GT500 or aftermarket 4" exhaust. Gotta have the rolled tips though, not the slash cut ones.

That shot from the rear looks nice... I guess it is that new Race Red...
Can't wait to see the new GT500

Looks like Candy Apple Red to me, but then again that car IS under red spotlights so who knows.

I know this might ruin it for a lot of you guys but I had to post it. The new 'star trek' rims look very similar to the wheels on the mini beachcomber concept

Saw that on Edmunds IL, but was nice enough to not point it out.

Whats even funnier is how in 2004 a couple of us mods (Galaxie/Dan) nicknamed the new 18s at the time 'fanblades' and how that kinda stuck.
I'm continuing that trend with the 'stark trek' 19s
hahaha

You know from the pic of the rear of the yellow 2011 GT you can see the tire is the newest PZero out there. This is an awesome tire and in my opinion even better than the Mich. PS2's. Expect to pay a bunch for replacement.

Looks more like a variation of the Alcoa wheels to me.

I just hope those new GT/CS wheels are the successor to the unsightly Hose Reels of today.
