I like the subtle changes the 2013 Roush bring, at least to the rear end!

With the exception of the tacked-on hood scoop, I like it!

Ah, come on, it doesn't look that bad!

In all seriousness, though, with the all-new 2015 Mustang only a couple years away, I'm not surprised Roush kept the appearance mods subtle and to a minimum. I'm sure Roush knows what's coming in a few years, though that's little consolation to someone paying the premium a Roush Mustang brings.

YES, it DOES.

The front fog lights are HUGE and look like crap. The fake hood scoop is tiny stupid, the rear exhaust tips looks stupid with the fake quad tip (chambered) treatment, the rims are horrid...they are huge, and the stripes are just a cut-off version of the current issue RS3/5XR stripes. The HP/TQ rating is LOW too, how can they compete with the 2013 GT500 when they are putting out way less power, but the price is probably the same...

The real spoiler looks good, the slotted rotors are great, so does the front grille.

all in all, this is just a crappy version of the current Roush Stage 3....why did they even make a 2013 model if it looks like this. wtf roush.

i appreciate your personal opinion, but saying "Best looking one on a 13 yet IMHO" doesn't say much. They all suck.

I do kind of like the GT500 and Boss front clip though. However they do all look relatively similar...but that horse has already been beaten.

The new grille looks like it was heavily inspired by the last gen Saleen grille. Hmmm wonder why. Could've been all those guys who put Saleen grilles on their Roush cars?? Hah!

Was going to get the GT500 bumper & just put some matching mesh on the lower valance to match the GT grille, but I like this bump better. The pockets around the lower fogs will match the blackout trim Ill be doing (on a GB). Boss is 3rd favorite now but is kinda meh, like the GT. Wouldnt say either sucks though. The 12 Boss was nice too, as are both years of rear bumps/fascias.

P.S. Not a fan of hood scoops, but of all the ones I've seen, that's one of the nicest too IMHO. Very low profile.

Pretty interesting, still not 100% sure on the new tail lights. Maybe when I get to see one in person.

Roush has always made a cool Mustang ... not really liking the scoop. Only liked the Roush scoop on the 05-09 model of s197.
