2009 Mustang VS 2010 Mustang

This is the "butt heavy" car. I like the idea of it, but the current bodystyle does not suit it at all. It is WAY too tall! IMO, to make it look right, the exhaust needs to be just below the reverse lights and the bottom of the license plate.

The rear of the current Mustang is definately too tall and bulky looking, especially in relationship to the short front overhang. If the belt-line is lowered with the current roofline intact, the side door glass will be taller - not really a good tradeoff. Maybe the rear could be made less bulky by a combination of slightly raising the lower edge of the rear quarterpanel directly behind the wheels and a more pronounced upward slope toward the rear fascia. Also a less squared off countour for the bottom edge of the quarterpanel / rear fascia would help decrease the bulky appearance.

The idea is to lower the entire beltline, and not just at the side door glass. It would be no different, If you took the current greenhouse, and placed it upon the body of a 65-66 Mustang. As the tallness of the side door glass, would remain the same..

Here's another example.. in which someone did a chop of Retrobuilt's 68RSC-GT500KR.

you'll notice in the bottom photo.. there is no difference with the tallness of the side door glass, even after shaving a few inches off the beltline
