Re: Roush photo

I like the gills in the rear quarter window...and that's it.

It seems your not the only one who doesn't like it, they really screwed up on that car

They need to make it look like this!

Re: Roush photo

If Mad Max drove a Mustang instead of a Falcon, that would be it.

Re: Roush photo

That really doesn't do it for me. What is strange is that the vast majority of Mustang people that posted hated it.

Re: Roush photo

Its not going over too well with the mustang community either. Most negative comments are about the front facia.

Re: Roush photo

I think I figured out the biggest issue with that bumper. It kicks forwards, when it should have a slight negative rake like the grille section. The conflict just is UGLY! that and they really should have left the grille unpainted IMO

They may like mustang, but they certainly aren't blind. I love mustangs in general, but clearly see this Roush as both tacky and ugly. I was unimpressed with Steedas car as well, although it looks much better than this. Hopefully, Saleen can put together a good looking package.

Exterior is fugly as all can see, but what is it packing? hp/tq figures?

Re: Roush photo

I don't like it either..

It is my opinion but I really think the stang design limits what the aftermarket can do in this example. But that is my opinion only.

I agree with you to an extent. But the problem i think is that they are doing things in excess. Looking at the steeda and roush, both cars come off as VERY "busy" and "overdone". I think the 05 mustangs look best with subtle and modest visual mods, the best which are a drop, larger/better wheels, wider rubber, and maybe a small minor chin spoiler.
