how can anyone take Roush seriously as a tuner now?! that body kit is a JOKE!

the front end is so busy and it ruins the clean lines of the car.

5 thumbs down. waaay down.

I think it looks great. I agree it has one too many mods around the headlights but with some black out paint I think it could be fixed. I havent seen one yet that is 100%. Do agree it is a lttle overdone. Roush...you listening?

I like the hood scoop and the 1/4 window louvers, but the front gives me a headache However I never was one for Roush fronts, the 04 front facias didn't do it for me either. What I always loved about them was the side exhausts and correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see any in the photo. What's up with that??

I just noticed they cover over that damn quarter window in the back which is good, that window sucks to begin with. I knew there was a reason it looked better.

Part of the roush package will include a dual alternator/battery setup.

Yuck. Overall it reminds me of a Mustang II "Cobra II."

Like the louvers, hate the hood scoop, ducktail looks tacked on and tacky, painted grille is almost criminal it's so horrible. Body kit looks ordered through Pep Boys. Painted door mirrors now look huge, there was a reason Ford left them black; to blend in to the lines.

When will these dolts learn that less is more?
The right stance, wheels and some minor badges would be great. Why add scoops that serve no function? Why not put all that development $$$ under the skin into more HP, better handling and other real improvments? Sheesh, the most of the first year GT-350s came on stamped steel station wagon wheels with no Le Mans Stripes. No bling and all haul-a$$.

It really isn't bad if you fix the front bumper which looks about as ugly as chevy putting the avalanche grill on the silverado.

yuck. The quarter treatments would look alot better if they either replaced the whole piece, or removed the window and did it like my photoshop here... That looks like it's held on with 3M tape. this looks way hotter. This should be the roush

...paint the top half of the mirror, not the entire thing...

...how bout a GT350ish style grille with the mustang badge in the lower right corner or maybe an open grille...

...ride height is too high...

...split nose front bumper is nicer (current one looks like a rice-boy W-Type mega urban assault commando exterminator liquidator front bumper, or what ever they call it)...

...needs a FUNCTIONAL ram-air hood that doesn't look like they are using left over GT hood scoops from the year before...

...quarter panel 'louvres' are facing the wrong direction and should come as a replacement for the windows. Those look like those AVS plastic things that people with trucks tape onto their extended cab windows...

...would like to see how messed up it's going to look with a front license plate, seeing how one is required in Texas.

That's just my opinion....I could be wrong!
