'18 Steeda Q-Series

Nice Wheels. Hopefully someone makes an aftermarket bumper that gets rid of the triangles at some point.

At first look I really like this front end much better than stock. I would like to see the hood vents but from what I can see... much better!

I think Steeda did a great job improving the lower fascia. Likewise, the louvered slats on the heat extractors make a big difference on the overall appearance on the front end.

Meh. I’m not feeling this at all. I’ll have to wait to see one in person before I pass judgement. I still haven’t seen a stock 18’ in person yet either.

Our new front facia is sexy-aggressive and really complements the 2018 Ford Mustang design while addressing concerns expressed by many of our customers.

Stay tuned for more updates and sneak peaks as we move forward!

Best Regards,

I'm still wondering why everyone is keeping the triangle look. It's the most controversial part about the 2018 Mustang and yet every aftermarket front keeps it. I guess a lot of People would love to see a more classic approach on the bumper. :shrug:

The steeda front reminds me of cow catchers of old trains, not a fan :(

In a perfect world ford would have given us the refreshed cars performance upgrades with the gt350 styling. Not a fan of any version of the 18 front end.

Looks awfully similar to the old concept from Carbon Dynamics. ;)

I keep waiting to see an 18 with a different hood, but all we can get so far are differently shaped vents that still fit in the same spot. I must be the only one that thinks the whole front of the car would look better with a new hood.

How hard can it be to put a GT350 style hood on it?!? Must be harder than I think or someone would've done it by now, I guess...

 

[Kinjirra]

Much much better. The extending of the triangle area makes it flow much better imho. Hood vents are seriously better. Good Job

 

[Stingray23]

Lets hope those wheels look exactly like that.

 

[Dudie7]

Waaaaay better than stock.

I love the computer generated image. Hopefully the real car looks just as good!
OH,....and leave all the STEEDA stickers off too. Looks much cleaner that way.

Flashback to Car & Driver's World's Hottest Tuner Cars From 0 to 150 to 0, August 1998 issue.

Now, almost 20 years later, we still love every attempt to exclude the Steeda Q from this test, starting with the very first line: "Let's establish right up front that our Steeda Q test car is a race car”. The Steeda Q wasn’t a race car, it was simply the only street car you could race.

As Steeda has done for three decades now, we delivered the best performance for the dollar by a very far margin. Even with some technical difficulties, our $40,675 vehicle (the least expensive, by over $20,000) beat out cars costing nearly $250,000 (in 1998) and placed second to a Lingenfelter ZR1 Corvette costing over $100,000 (with nearly 100 more horses). With our passion for cornering and suspension, the 1998 Steeda Q was praised for it's road manners and "without the bone-jarring ride we had anticipated".
"If you're looking for the biggest bang for your buck, however, the Steeda Q is, without a doubt, your car."

And while we’re flattered that so many competitors have taken our proven formulas to the copy-machines with each generation of the Mustang, we’ll leave with a warning: get ready for the 2018 Steeda Q.
