Me too
I have seen a 2012 GT500 wide body in person, but not a 15+ mustang. I believe the first one I will see in person will be my own.

The former. The latter I'd be satisfied with a video.

WE have a "track gang" group text for the ones who do not do FB. He told the "gang". LOL
I called him the other night and discussed with him. He had told me that he had contacted you.
He is a great person.

I have seen the 15+ widebody and the Shelby widebody. Shelby was here in Fl and we went to hang with them a few weeks ago.
The wide body and other models were very nice.
I am not a fan of the wide body but it is a nice option.

I hear that the dry carbon prototype hood for the SE arrived at SA on Thursday...Additionally the first non SE widebody 500 was just shipped out...

Yes, I spoke to Chris yesterday, the hood arrived for test fitting, and was approved.
The green car was the first 2020 GT500 wide body and, as you mentioned, it's not an SE.

My only gripe with the wide body is what they did with the area in front of the rear wheel. I wish they would produce a replacement rocker panel that would match up to the wider quarter panel in front of the wheel, not just have the obvious body line where they meet.
That said, everything else about the wider rear end is a masterpiece, and it overrides the small gripe I mentioned above....to me, that is.

I stumbled across this view of the wide body on the green car. I can not wait to see this in my color/stipe option.

I mentioned the same previously. They matched what the front fender/side skirt does, its just more obvious on the rear quarter due to the amount of material added. Try as I might, I just can't see another way of blending the fender into the skirt. I am hoping it will will look better in blue with the Shelby side stripe.
