I think the 2010-12 GT500 owners are getting hosed but then again Subaru did the same to the WRX and STI... Now that we can get an idea at the look of the car I'm interested in what is happening under the hood of these refreshed Mustangs!

I'd be a little sad if Ford decided to make HID standard across the board...
Does Ford think people weren't ordering HIDs because they were a very expensive option? That's peobably true for many cases, but I think probably more people prefer the "look" of the halogens, no?

For the spy shots has anyone considered the fact that the gt500 nose may not actually be the final nose? If they are going to such trouble to keep the tail lights hidden, why would they put something so obvious on the front? Throwing on a different hood and fascia could be done at the last minute and surprise everyone.

Chevrolet has also developed new and updated EU export specific rear fascias with a wider plate opening, low position reflectors, new LED taillamps and a rear towing hook mount covered by the square plug on the right rear.

Retro is dead.. Time for the Mustang to evolve into some new shapes, technology and ideas. Wanna original Mustang? Then go buy one of the Dynacorn Mustang bodies and build yourself one.

I hope you realize that the cost associated with those is higher than most people think. For instance, even if you have HIDs on a 10-12, you'll most likely need a new wiring harness to activate the LED lamps, unless you integrate it into something else. It may even go back further, and be tied into the programming of the PCM. Taillamps are not cheap either, and if it requires a bumper change, that will probably put it at $1000+ to procure everything. Most people won't swap all that for a minor change.
