Anyone thinking that the loss of the "power dome" is to make the clearances easier for a boss with a shaker? It would make sense with the progression of the stripe package.

Wishful thinking is my bet. Why would they do it when it offers no performance benefit and Ford is actively trying to move away fro retro themes? (Yes I recognize the Boss is counter to that point but...)

The Brembo Package will finally be optional with automatic GT's (excluding GT/CS's). I doubt there will be optional gears, though, nor do they need them with the super deep 1st & 2nd gearing in the 6 speed auto.

I was thinking the rear lights were blacked out (the black lines we're seeing) and the camo was red tape.

What an exhausting thread. I just viewed it from start to finish.

The best part of my Boss, IMO, is the very aggressive pointy hood and pointy bumper. That design element has gone away.

Like the new tailight design.

I think the vehicle still needs the black trim that runs along the bottom of the vehicle. It makes the car look less "heavy" when you look at it from the side.

The only way I am able to express this opinion is because of the excellent photoshop work by Luke.

Shaker Pro is replacing the Shaker 1000 (which is not listed as an option for '13). It's too soon to check whether the Electronics Pkg (nav) can be had with the Shaker Pro (gotta wait for the order guides to come out or the order banks to open to confirm). Happy to help.....

Again a +1 on that. But that should be an easy fix, either paint them matte black or toss them and put a 2010 replacement part on it.

So I gotta ask...
Do you think 2010 - 2012 owners will be able to retrofit the new grille, facia and tail lights?
Just curious...

Btw I was thinking, if the form factor of the headlights hasn't changed you might be able to toss those ugly cross-eyed things and put in regular 2010 assemblies.

Anyone in LA area...
See it Nov 15th...
http://streetteam.kroq.radio.com/Cus...spx?AID=167851


So If Shelby is there my bet it's the GT500...If it's the whole line up...so much for an early peek...
I'm hoping by weeks end we see everything but the Shelby...
Timeline, as usual....shots of spied cars (Check) ...video of spied cars (Next)...Shots of interior (Maybe)...brings us to next week...Embargo ends usually Midnight (Tuesday)
But Fords baby for LA is the Escape...but they're pretty loaded...maybe they'll pump out the Mustang sooner..
Fiesta ST (5 door) and Flex were shown already...on the Lincoln side they still have MKS and MKT reveals

Those spy shots are of the GT/CS and the V6 "Mayhem" package...They share the same wheel designs but different finishes...like the current models.

That would be good if they are.. you could not only replace them with a set of '10-'12 halogens, but you could sell the HIDs and come out a few hundred $$$ ahead

edit: old pic but same front w halogen lights..
