Agreed all the way around with you, the vent/hood design is one of my main gripes with the 18. Part of the reason it looks so much more "modern/sleek" is because of the light design. The new light design is great and makes the 15-17 look older.
The triangles still appear to be there (unless thats some cunning cladding under there) but the DO appear to be slightly different.Good job on the rendering, but I really don't think the triangles will be changed at all. If you look closely at the car from different angles, you can see through the cover... the curveature of the cover gives the illusion that the bumper will have a curved look that's completely different, but when you look closer, you see inside a black area that's the same as the triangle that the 18-19 cars have. Here, I outlined the outside corners in red
My guess is that it's a parts bin car that didn't have the turn signals installed already, and they just kinda slapped on some indicators so that they could legally drive it. It's probably more of a powertrain test bed than a cosmetic one
See, what I'm seeing through the cladding appears to be the same shape as the current triangle vents. Ace's render seems to follow the lines of the illusion caused by the wrinkle in the cladding. But like I said, if you look through the cladding, you can see a black outline of what looks like the same triangle vents as the 2018 model, of course without the LED lights integratedThe triangles still appear to be there (unless thats some cunning cladding under there) but the DO appear to be slightly different.
Here's the Ace's render, plus the original
That looks great! I really like that. Something to think about...Agreed. I fixed my lower grille by just doing a custom job. To me, it just makes the car look 10x better!
After seeing Comp Orange in person, I had to have that color. I'm sure you've noticed it's peculiarities - it is very hard to capture the true color in photos, sometimes it looks red. But I like that about it. The 1st and second gen coyotes only have port fuel injection, but that's fine. There are pluses and minuses with DI and I commend Ford for going with a duel system even if it costs more. Lexus had been doing it for almost a decade now with their 3.5L engine and I'm not aware of anyone complaining about soot on the exhaust, or intake vales so clogged they need to be walnut shell blasted. I'm an engine geek - sometimes I buy an engine, and then get the car it's built around for free
Not at all. I think out of 10 people I asked 10 said 15-17 looks much more like a classic mustang should be And nicer then 18 and up.
Not entirely true....I got back into a mustang after 15 years. My last Mustang was an '03 Cobra. The '18 was the first Mustang in a long while I thought looked right. No false or tacked on scoops or goofy add ons. The 15-17 is okay, looks more Fusion like. The '18 IMO looks so much better.
I’ve never considered buying a mustang until the 18 came out.. I get most prefer the 15-17 but the 18 is what got me to purchase my first mustang. I love the looks
