it had to be said? for what the 10,000th time?

 

Use "3M Scotchcal Striping Tape L.G. Black 1-in (73093)" to hide the chrome parts you don't like. It will virtually disappear from a few feet away, I like 1", it's available in different widths, it matches the Black Rubber perfectly.

I've used this for many years, to eliminate the chrome molding around windows and any other undesirable chrome trim.

The bonus, while looking very stealthy & factory, you can un-do-it for original look and or for selling the car when the time comes.

 

Still doesn't change the fact that its a completely different upper and lower grill. Without the corral, it has the "fangs" as people are calling them. My plan is to see if I can remove the corral-less pony from the center and use an offset '66 Shelby pony with the tribar back.

 

I know that...I'm just letting anyone who orders the Anny-Pkg and doesn't like the Chrome in the Grill, they could disguise it...But, I don't know why anyone would order the Anny in the 1st place if the grill/grills turns you off-->

 

I think that blue 50 Years GT looks absolutely glorious.

 

Because the anniversary wheels are killer.

 

That's a good idea!

 

Yep...Wish the LE wheels were this version (Paint) instead of grey/gray trimmed.

Is it Grey or Gray Paint-->

 

Maybe it'll change when I see one in person? Maybe it'll look like a muscle car more so in person than in photos?
I don't know, we'll see.

 

It does!

 

I've seen the 2015 in person in all guises.. It looks far better in person. It also looks smaller and tighter than the current model. I'm a big fan of the current car, but this car is more what I'm looking for at this point in my life. It may not look retro but it feels retro.. Smaller, lighter.. Tighter front and rear overhangs. It looks European in that regard but if you recall how the original mustang came to be, it was precisely in response to the European cars favored by enthusiasts in the 60's. A GTO competitor it was not.. Although it did get larger with every makeover and largest in 71-73.. It went back to it's roots in the 79-92 car and continued through the "new edge" years. The 05-14 was larger in every way, yet looked back to the original car as it's inspiration and did it fantastically well. So now it's time for the smaller look, with IRS and 4cylinder power as an option.. I'm all for it. Planning on getting my 15 Ecoboost next Summer!!

 

So in your opinion, the 2015 looks visually smaller compared to the current 2014 S-197 ?

My reason for asking is someone also saw the 2015 at Mustang world in person and claims in his opinion that its actually larger and wider over the current 2014 S-197..

He also mentioned in his post the hood is longer and the car itself is wider over the current 2014 model as well..

If the 2015 does appear to look visually larger over the current 2014 S-197 in anyway ? Then I definitely wont be interested in upgrading as the current model is huge enough as it is now..

 

The rear track is 70mm wider. The car is wider, but shorter. The overall apparent volume of the car should make it appear a little smaller from what I've heard.

 

Hard to explain but the hood seems to sit higher which I can see how some may think it's longer but the front and rear overhangs are shorter the car appears smaller in person.. Granted it was an auto show with hundreds of people but the current car looks bulkier when they are side by side.. I'm not talking hard numbers mind you, just how it looks to the eye.. I loved it!

 

If this is the 50th Anniversary model, where is the chrome trim around the windows and the louvered side quarter glass?

 

i dont know, i mean that supercharged green 5.0 next to it sure looks aggressive!!!

 

This one isn't the 50th Anniv. LE version..its a GT with the 50th Anniversary Appearance Package.

 

I wasn't aware that there was an anniversary package other than the model itself

 

There is, it's called the 50th Anniversary Appearance Package. Option code 975.

 

What is included in the package?
