I though the Boss cars had the big spoiler on the back?

Maybe a poser...

You can get the stripes a lot of places, then all you need is to paint the roof.

The Laguna Seca has the larger spoiler, the regular Boss has the low profile.


Maybe we should name Boss regular to Street Boss.

Yup.

Plus the M plates are a give-away

The white needs to go. I can not believe they could not come up with a better design. The white around the back side marker looks cheesy.

yep, that roof being a different color sucks in my opinion. Ford really needs to re think that idea. Wish they would do 1970 Boss 302 stripe theme....

I agree about the white roof. It looks good with any of the black stripe combos though (IMO)

From a track-day car point of view, the white roof does reduce cabin temps.

I still want to know for sure if the roof is painted or not.

Our provincial cops used to have dark olive green cars. They researched switching to white, and found the cabin temps dropped by 7C/13F in the heat of the summer. This is in a fairly northern climate too.
