You guys beat me to it. I was too busy posting on Facebook but nice finds. Need MOAR. I am still up in the air about this refresh. But can't wait to see the finished picture. Do hate those GT/CS wheels. Need to see more GT Brembo and Boss though.

if the GTs fogs are staying in the grill maybe it will get some LEDs in the lower bumper, similar to the edge?

also are those 19s? looks like alot of sidewall, might be wheels from another version to throw off the spy pics?

They are hiding the rear lights....

Kinda liked the 2010-1012 GT front and the hood...but the blacked out treatment across the front became common on Camaro and Challenger...guess they had to break up the front a little.

From what it looks like, the center and outer chambers of the tails are totally covered, except for the reverse lamp portion of the middle chamber. So, a good guess is the candy cane appearance of the '10-12 is gone. You can also see that they moved reflectors to the rear bottom of the car, which means, to comply with govt. standards, they may have removed them from the tails (see TN's post and note the center of each chamber has a reflective portion).

I agree and that's exactly what I thought, the other pony's were sporting a similar look. Even though I knew the Mustang was different it looked the same. The GT500 has the separation of the headlights and grille, much like the old Mustangs. It kind of makes sense to do this. I am just not too amused with the bumper cover. I will see when they do a full reveal. Very interested in this 2013 update though.

Yeah because it looks like my 2011 GT500. Thanks Ford!

Not a fan of the black plastic on both sides of the license plate either.

Yeah... cause Cobra owners were up in arms that the V6 in 2004 got their hood from the 2001...

All 3 lights are covered..the inner most is covered as well.
You only see a slit of light on the inner/top/bottom edge.

For me, the somewhat bloated look of the GT500 fascia coupled with the now-standard "crosseyed" HIDs makes the car look a bit like this:

Pretty much what I had in mind since the beginning---minor changes. I do love what they did with the updated back-end, but with the front not so much. This update is what I call a cheap and cheerful update.....one that was quick and inexpensive that is designed to lure current owners to trade in and hopefully bring in new owners.
