Picked up my car last weekend in Texas and dropped it off to Phoenix for the winter. Noticed the headlight mounting tabs sticking out on the front of the car, and gaps on the rear panels. The gaps are there on my other mustangs just not as bad. I thought qc was better on these?

Love the transmission, miles better then the getrag, and the exhaust note is downright glorious. Perfect car. Made it through two snow storms and several thunderstorms without a scratch. 2 days and 2000 miles later it's covered for the winter. Makes my stock GT's feel cheap and slow in comparison.

Ya that headlight doesn't look right at all. I would have the dealer look into that. Rear bumper looks about as bad as the rest. White is probably the worst one to show all the gaps too. :( I took mine back to Ford a few weeks ago as the rear tabs on the passenger side rear bumper popped out caused it to bulge a little.

You would think being a GT350, that more time would be spent correcting these things before they are sold to the customer.

I have only the one pic but is that rear bumper painted the same color? It looks a little off imo.

The headlight is whacked. Needs a refit by the dealer.

I would,be concerned that front end has been taken off before. How the hell do you fuck that up?

When I picked my car up there was no panel gap. After about 300 miles there is now a gap. QC can't catch what it can't see. Not saying everyone has had an experience like mine but I suspect many have.

That color mismatch is a problem that I've experienced before. My white 2013 GT500 had a discrepancy with the bumper color matching the body, it went from a white to a slight yellowish white. Before I purchased my Avalanche Gray, I went to a local dealer whom I worked out a msrp price for a white gt350, I immediately noticed the slight color variation and walked from that deal.
