Look at all the waves between the hood and the front end cover

Did they just combine the upper from the '18 and lower from a 13-14 mustang??

Ok lets be honest... it kinds of sucks!!

boring rectangles under lights, reminds of a 90's design... like a Ferrari testarosa side door or something.
At least the original render showed a little more angle = more aggressive looking.

Mix match of billet upper grill, mesh lower & sides. ie: not cohesive design

Use billet on the upper & lower and maybe leave the smaller sides as mesh... or use mesh everywhere.

SMH, they need to hire new talent in their design dept, and fire the director who let this get approved to production.

Little to zero inspiration. Looks cheap and very uninspiring....
the front fascia looks like something you could probably find on ebay from a Chinese vendor ($199 shipped).
Saleen has all but shriveled up and died.

Saw it in person at Fab Fords and it looks great. The price point was amazing too. for $58K you get an exclusive 725HP pony. I even got a quick hello with the man himself.

I'm not too sure if they've fixed or gonna fix the CS or QC issues though...

Yeah, I like the supercharger, just not the front bumper.

I could get behind this if you could leverage the new inlets for improvements in cooling. For instance, could you get an oil cooler behind one of the new, wider lower outside inlets? This reminds me of the ZR1 a bit which has coolers mounted behind those inlets.

Totally agree.

I doubt it but I hope they offer components out to those of us who already own a Mustang.

On a side note, did they change the hood? I'm not seeing any differences.
