Dislike... don't like the border or the clear lenses. I guess it's necessary for the color changing LEDs but I still don't care for it.

I'm not completely sure I see what you all see... it looks to me the 13 tail lights will fit perfectly onto a 10-12 car

Yes, it can be done, but requires a new hood, grille, and other misc. components.I believe it's a bit more involved than the 05-09 Shelby front end.

If you look at the straight on rear shots, it appears that the 'kink' on the inner most lamp chamber is gone. This makes sense as a possible design change, since the rear fascia was also changed as well. Instead of retooling sheet metal, a bumper change would be a far more cost effective solution.

The angle of the kink in the taillight when looking at the rear head on is what can be seen as the difference leaning people to conclude the bumpers would need to be changed.

I'm sure that the aftermarket world is working double time right now on making a set for the 12's.

People are analyzing the taillight kink like the Zapruder film.

I would keep an eye on ameticanmuscle.com for an after market one that fits 12's, there's a huge demand for this

I wouldn't worry too much about it. I'm sure that even if OEM doesn't fit, the aftermarket might come up with a similar looking copy that will.
