That is perfect. Lack of rear tire has been the GT500's most glaring weakness for generations now. This ought to do nicely.

I like that much better than the 05-09 version. It just seems to blend a lot better.

makes the cost well over 100k - well beyond my budget but I'd like to see numbers on it stock to see how much of a difference it'll make for that big bump is price.

Sooooooooooooo, the justification behind the widebody kit was originally the fact the GT500 can't put all the 662bhp down through the skinny wheels. So, they fix that................and then give it another 200 bhp

Oh, and unless it's a trick of the light, those fibreglass wide fenders are not very well colour-matched to the rest of the car.

And those wheels are dull.

Me, I'll take a stock GT500 AND a Boss 302 for the same money

I wish Ford would send these cars out with color matched bumpers. Such an obvious difference..would make me crazy.
