I like what they've done. This would've helped me a bit, transitioning over from a bimmer. I'll most likely retrofit the hid housing on to mine. That really should've been standard on the 12's.

Me too. Really like the dash, but the tail lights remind me of TRON. But I love TRON, so I should love this right? Maybe I just need more pics. It's very possible it needs to grow on me. I didn't like Grabber Blue at first. Now I think my next one will be that color.. Gonna be in the market for a used '13 in a few years. Thinking GT500 for a daily driver. You know, a beater that I won't worry about where I park it! (can I sign my post now? -Andy-)
The '13 Bosses with the new colors and graphics will be cool to see. I also like that the '12 and '13 cars will have their differences. Way to go Ford!

the fog lamp blanks are functional for 2013, and can be removed with a screwdriver to aid cooling on track days.

So the Laguna Seca gets silver lettering on the seats, silverish x-brace, silver/black wheels, and perhaps a smaller front splitter (hard to tell from the pictures).
Reflective stripes. No roof paint with the new graphics.
I wonder what colors are available for the Boss and Laguna Seca.
The Mustang Boss 302 (above, right) may have just been introduced for the 2012 model year, but it also receives some small tweaks for the new model year. Specifically, a new hockey stick graphic with reflective stripes has been added to the sides of the Boss, paying homage to the 1970 Boss 302. Both the standard and Laguna Seca models are now available in School Bus Yellow, and the updated front fascia from the base Mustangs has been fitted to the 444-horsepower Boss, as well. The foglamp covers in the grille are now removable for 2013, and Ford says this will improve cooling during longer stints of high-performance driving.

I like all the changes save for the nose. Guess I'm stuck with it though as I waited specifically for yellow. This is the fun part about cars, every year has its own best attributes.

It looks like the 2013 hood is stamped with a recess surrounding the heat extractor inserts, into which the pieces fit. If the extractors overlayed the opening....maybe you could retrofit the 2012 by cutting an opening; but if they require the recessed lip/hole to fit into, no way.

Until you see one in person, or get better photos of the hood you won't know for sure....but I doubt it.
