I do like what Saleen have done with the lower front fascia........takes inspiration from the '13/14 GT :)

Must admit, I'm surprised they went with dual exhaust rather than leaving the quad tips.

Would love to see one of these in Orange Fury though :)

If Saleen is being Saleen, they probably had to get rid of their 15-17 Exhaust Systems 1st before they can do Quad exhaust

I like the front, but the spoiler looks over done (although no real good shots of it). I agree with other comments on the exhaust. The dual tips look sooooo much better. I also noticed it has the new General summer tires. Would be curious to see some real life reviews on them as the price point is about half the Michelins.

Looks a bit r34 skyline ish

Should've done dual rounded oval tips like the super snakes.
I think the front is good execution minus that grille. Wheels are imo outdated. Wing is outdated to. I was hoping for them to come up with a different set of hood vents to:shrug:

They are going for a really clean look, and then I see a "four valve"(who cares?)badge under the Saleen and the 302 (which I get is a thing with them). Wish they would pull those things off.

I see them selling a lot of black ones. It makes the front end look better compared to the white one. If I were to do this again with Saleen, I’d opt for a PP1 at minimum and then add the White label package for cosmetic purposes.

Edit....add another $300 for new quad tips.

Now that's cheeky, seeing as the GT comes with quads as standard!

Question......can you still just buy the cosmetic bits (grilles/bumpers/wheels etc) and build a "clone". I don't recall seeing anyone do this on an S550, but Saleen grilles were a popular mod on the S197 :)

I know you can buy almost everything a white label has on a 15-17. The only thing you won't have is the numbered plaques. I don't see that they're offering the front bumper on 18 yet.

BTW, another small detail. The stock GT calipers on that 18 Saleen are not like mine. Mine are powdercoated black and a yellow Saleen sticker on them. I don't know if that was an option on mine or they're doing additional cost savings. They fooled me thinking they had added some kind of big brake kit as part of the package.

I think the grille stripe should match the label it is. If it’s white label, white stripe. His has a yellow stripe when most have red ones. Hmm.....
