Ok...I missed the data on the hood scoop. Is it functional?

 

I like the rear bumper cover. It reminds me of the '03-'04 Cobra rear bumper cover with the way the bottom black area is between the tail pipes. Looks sharp in my mind. The front bumper cover is so-so. Everything else looks too cheap to me.

 

First they should paint all the unpainted body parts, just looks ugly that way IMO

second that CS sticker on the back needs to go big time, that looks like something you would get out of a cereal box. Still I don't think any of this will be an issue when it actually comes out.

I guess none of you saw the OTHER photo's of the earlier GT/CS

All parts will be body coloured.

Not necessarily. I assume you are talking about the photos here:

And while I have seen those, that appears to be an even earlier test mule than is shown in these latest pics. Notice in some of the older pics they have a white piece of paper over the stripe in front of the front wheels, they were apparently deciding whether or not to extend the stripes there. These newer pics appear to represent a change to contrasting colors for the plastic work. Note that they bothered to paint the hood scoop, but not the spoiler or side scoops. Note also that they have painted part of the front and rear fascias black. It appears that the contrasting colors are purely intentional. And ugly.

And it is basically a Pony Package for the GT and not a S/E... don't look for any performance upgrades.

As far as performance upgrades, there is at least one small one. If you check the '07 order guide it lists a larger intake for the C/S. Perhaps it gets a more aggressive tune as well. Not much to get excited about though!

 

As far as the "larger intake", I could be wrong, but I believe they mean the larger opening in the front fascia.

 

I was kind-of on the fence before, but now... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/puke.gif[/img]
That thing is hideous. The worst part (but just barely beating that horrible spoiler) is the rediculous rear decal. Looks like something from Pep Boys.

At least I won't have any problem deciding whether or not to trade in my '05.

Ha! I bet you're right!! Well, so much for the "performance" upgrade [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/headscratch.gif[/img]

 

That spoiler looks horrible and of course everyone knows I'm not a fan of non-functional scoops. That rear bumper cover does look hot though. When can I pick one of those up?
