Tweaked Saleen Design
Since I can never leave well-enough alone, I figured I would do "my version" of a Saleen, using renders from parts expected to make production (SSE sides, 3dCarbon hood), plus some other detail tweaks.
Me likey!!!

Gettin' closer to the Steeda Q although I like yours better because it doesn't bring the diaper forward into a wrap around huggies like the Q does.

You are entitled to your opinion of what is tacky or huge. Maybe some older people like plain. I just think the car they hope to sell for 60k should not look like a plain old man's car.

BTW, you don't have to be "older" to appreciate subtlety in modifications. I *might* be older than you, but I doubt I fit the typical implication of "older".

I understand that people who are willing to pay $50k+ for a Mustang GT with a body kit want their cars to be unique. My point is that unique isn't ALWAYS positive (in fact, often it isn't), and that unique doesn't HAVE to be gaudy. Also, just because a car doesn't look like the centerfold of a PepBoys catalog, doesn't mean it's "plain".

The thing is this is my favorite Saleen because this is the first one in recent years that does not seem to have huge tacked on body kits. The scoop is not huge and it looks like something that came from the factory. The front bumper looks like it belongs on the car and not like a huge add on like we have seen on recent Saleens. I like the side skirts for the same reason. Its not huge and it has a unique shape. There is no huge spoiler on the back. The entire car looks body kit less and that is what i like. Some modified cars you can just look at the front of it and see it has a huge tacked on body kit but this one is different I think. It has a factory look. In my opinion the biggest strength of this Saleen is the subtle OEM look that still manages to stand out. I realize some people will always prefer plain. Thats fine but this car is not seem to have any tacky add ons to me.
