I must admit that the 2015 is growing on me. Perhaps I'm just becoming accustomed to all the photos, but the Roush has grabbed me by the jewels.

I never seriously took issue with the front end treatment of the S550. My concern was that it just didn't look like a Mustang. I'm a retro guy and always will be in most things.

My 2014 GT Conv isn't going anywhere just yet. I love everything about it starting with the styling. But if something were to happen, and if I had the resources, I think I would put the Roush on my list based on the photos so far. I'd love to see more colors. The DIB is outstanding, would love to see the Roush in CO.

That's what I'm afraid of in day to day driving - some idiot totaling my car, and it being irreplaceable due to the Glass Roof. I'd have to get a 2014 GT500 with Glass Roof or wait for Ford to bring it back. I cannot settle for a metal roof, and I'm just not a vert guy. Though the 2015 looks amazing as a vert...

And like I said, it has grown on me too. It has a lot of presence with those sharp lines and flashy taillights. I could live with the front end. I'm curious to see Saleen's rendition now.

My goal is to live long enough to have 20 year historic plates on mine. But should I ever have to replace it, it won't be with another black one!!!!

I'm debating on bringing my PC with me this weekend, to detail my buddy's 2013 Charger. His paint is absolutely trashed. And not having a garage, it would be pointless, because the next time he brings it to a car wash (hand wash places, but of course they're using disgusting rags and dirty water etc), it will be trashed again. It's the metallic black. Yeah I don't think I'm gonna do it haha

Saleen has done a much better job of getting rid of the Ford Corporate Front End.

The roush looks not bad. At first glance it's nice but a closer look it seems really busy. the ground effects especially. The DIB is stunning at first glance. But then i'm biased

Front fascia is a bit silly but great sexy car, overall.

Tastefully done. If the GT350 does't work out, this is a nice option.

I am more than positive it will. Roush gives you those options.

Looks a lot better than the GT, but I still think the slats in the headlights ruin the look. Thats why the Saleen rendering looks so much better too.
