Saleen really helped that rear end. Its likable!

Don't like the "stuck on" 1/4 window louvers.

At least it's easy to take off.

Ditch the ginormous hood scoop, the 1/4-window scoops, and the weird side skirts, and that could be a really nice car.

As it sits, I prefer the stock styling.

I've always found Saleens to be a bit too "busy looking". Too many scoops and slats and bits and pieces tacked on.

Take off the skirts and window covers and this would be really nice though. I love the hood and grill, and the rear is interesting if not that practical with the extended border around the lights which would pretty much make it impossible to see them from an angle.

It shows how much potential the 2010 design has though. With just a few tweaks it can go from good looking to absolutely stunning.

Looks awesome. Better than the previous one. Finally a 2010 I can actually say I want.

Looks great in my opinion. Much more complete a Saleen vehicle than their first try, which was just tacked on stuff on the outside that didn't say 'Saleen' at all. This definitely does, any Mustang enthusiast would take one look and know where it came from.

Be interesting to put the SMS car and this side by side, though, even more interesting to run them side by side, with the old Saleen VI supercharger and SMS's Techco look-alike unit.

Might need to do a GT500 to Saleen Conversion!
Basically I was mainly speaking of the lower fascia, I think it needs the multiple gills.

Here are some videos related to the S281 show car build, taken from Saleen's Youtube page:

It also looks like Saleen has a new "Shaker" hood coming out for their Super Shaker supercharger package. I'm not sure about the openings in the hood, though. It looks like they need to be augmented with some grilles, much like the 2005-2009 Saleen hood, at least in my opinion.

Let us thank God for the lack of rice wing!!

How much? And can you buy each piece? I love the rear, the front is ok, and the side skirts take some getting used to.

If I was in the market for a 2010, this would be it. First '010 I can genuinely state that I truly like...
