Something that never occurred to me before is that the hood on the LS is not painted with the wide stripe. It may have been discussed before but I just caught that.

I know it says stripe but is it really a tape stripe or black paint on the hood? I like the hood as it conforms to the 69 style, not so much on the roof. However (IMO) the roof looks best against the white and yellow.

Excellent. I'm glad the blue one will be there as that is the one that I am getting. Now the wait begins until I see it!

I thought the 69 had most of the hood painted, also is there any pics showing a stripe on the LS hood?

There are no stripes on the LS hood. You have to ask???

Tape on the sides and hood, paint on the roof.

I'm going to either paint it or apply a piece of vinyl to match the main color.

Yep, most of the hood was painted flat black. While the 12 is not the same it is along the same lines. The 70 was painted in the middle and the stripes were on each side then running all the way to the back.

The 69 was a better looking car but really had more in common with the 68 (mechanically and suspension wise). The 70 Boss with the stripe kit was one of the best looking cars ever. I just wish I could have waited for the 13, if it comes with more options like the shaker, 70 style stripes and grabber colors I will have to get one

Don't bet on the shaker but bet the bank on the others.

thanks for the info Scott I think the 2013 Black LS is going to look great if they keep the colors from the speed channel special.

Was at the show on the 13th. As shown, they had a CO and Blue Boss and a Silver LS.

Hate to say it, but the CO does look like tomato soup under those lights. I noted there was not blue lights directly on the car, but there were plenty up there to reflect on it.

The last several years the Ford booth was THE booth, but this year many other makers stepped it up big time. Ford's exhibit actually felt weird as it was wide open, good for foot traffic, but I left feeling that they did better in years past.

Regarding the Boss, I remain disappointed that Ford didn't flat black the wheels and stripes, but it looks good in person, particularly the interior.
