But I'm wondering why they build an european model, would be amazing if they would make their parts here legally
They are legal in most EU countries :cheers:

Yeah, Germany is really special in terms of aftermarket parts on your car :frusty:

Wow, that's...not that great. I suppose it was too much to ask to change the design of the hood or the lower front fascia. IMO, the last Roush design that was good was the 2010-2012 model.

Nothing the least bit creative here.

Order of creativity:

Saleen (too bad they are jacked up)

Cervini (too bad that design is usually straight out of '85 - 'Merica !)

SAI (Back when Mr. Shelby was still kicking, a la SAIs 2012 GT350)

Roush

What did I miss ? Anyways, the choices (should you prefer one) are pretty slim.

I'd run without an '18 front fascia at all .... call it groundbreaking.

As it stands, I think the standard 18 front looks heads and tails better.

They missed a big opportunity to give something different and fix the lower triangles that many find offensive. Instead they shove some very cheep looking plastic sleeves in there...WTF.

Maybe it would look better if perhaps they were colour coded, but I doubt it.

The only thing I don't mind is the top grill, I guess.

Was really hoping for a facelift from Roush. Sigh. Oh well :shrug:

Wow....it's like even Roush didn't know what to do with that new front end.

Still looks like a bit of a mess to me. The tacked on black lower air curtain scoops and hood louvers don't do anything to improve the 2018's weird origami messy design.

Hopefully someone comes along with a front fascia that uses the new headlights and upper grille and basically uses either the regular 2015-17 Mustang's lower valence or the GT350's, or even a Steeda Q Series. Add to that a GT350 style hood and you'd have a winner.

I still feel like they took a nice clean design and butchered it. This Roush edition just doesn't do anything to improve it.

The Saleen take is the far superior choice.... too bad the company isn't the same.
