I am really liking that. I hope it's a little more reserved that the SMS version. Can't wait to see the front.

That rearend is sexy. I like what I see so far. It might even look better than the Roush. Which really love.

That shows real promise. Finally someone did something with the rear. I also like how the didn't extend the rear 2 feet like the older cars.

Do you guys remember this rendering of the Saleen S281 from awhile ago? From the looks of things, it's pretty darn close, judging from the rear, to Saleen's very own "teaser" shots. I think it looks pretty good, but I really hope Saleen has decided to forgo the rearward-facing vents "tacked" onto the front fenders.

Definitely digging that ***!

Dare I say FINALLY someone has figured something out for the stock rear end that suits my taste better.

I'm concerned about that disjointed looking front bumper at the fenders.

But I am stoked to see the whole thing for sure.

That hood could be pretty mean looking. Rear end looks okay, but looks kinda chunky again.

2010 Saleen Teaser

2010 Saleen Preview for SEMA.

I think it's hot I am stuck between this and the Steeda now.
20x Better than SMS honestly.

Someone lock this I just saw the same thread going on in the Saleen section.

Good to see someone do something good with the rear end. Looks like it's got some potential. Can't wait to see the real deal.

Looking good. The hood looks almost SVO to me so far as to where it is placed. Looks pretty neat, and definitely digging the rear. I really like the inset look Saleen gives the tail light area.
