Noticed they've changed the year brake duct pattern, new paint job, got rid of the chrome side underbody skirt, got rid of the emblem in the front grill, put ugly big wheels on with low profile tires, big disc brakes and it loos like the got rid of that chrome that was supposed be right by the front of the hood. Tinted the back windows for some reason, and gave it a woppin' 3" drop.... ya im not diggin' it.

Call me nuts, but they seem to have attached a yellow broomstick to where the antenna used to be....

i know everybody will hate me, but i like it.
i went through all those pics, and they did all the work in metal, and i think they did a really good job. Im a fan of Rad Rides by Troy, and i think this is an exceptional car.
as the phrase goes.. "to each his own"

i think if they had kept it too a colour that suits that car, gotten rid of that 'broomstick', and kept the original grill, it probably wouldnt look to bad.

hehehe ... they gave that 'Stang the 'ol Fast & Furious treatment.
Still looks clean and uncluttered. Looks good actually except for the "bling-bling" chrome wheels. Too bad they had to mod a vintage muscle car though.

i like everything about it exept the large wheels and the front grill.
I think they were going after the "elanor" look from Gone in 60 Secs, but failed.

the broomstick isn't really attached to the car, its in the background.

I was looking at that, and I really couldn't tell if it was part of the car or if it was just a rake leaning up against the fence...either way, it looks silly.

That would be a negatory. That is ... just ... a completely horrible change. I like the original. I don't see anything wrong with it. What they did to it, there are no excuses.

I agree entirely... and I'm reminded of that crazy lady in "Roger & Me", that Michael Moore documentary.

I think I'm going to cry. Such a beautiful red Mustang. And then they tried to make it look like that one Mustang in the movie where they steal 50 cars in one night...

It's obvious they geared that car towards a younger crowd. Next is the Type-R stickers

Yeah, I would much rather go for the original. I expect they actually lowered the amount of the market they could reach by the chop job they did on this one.
