Whilst I love the look of the Black Label, I actually prefer the look of the White/Yellow Label cars

Much better than any S550 hood I have seen.

I HATE unnecessary seams. Have sometimes passed on buying cars because of them. A hood that goes all the way to the grill opening is a big plus. Haven't seen any since the pre-'13 S197s.

Also, a big aesthetic problem with the '18+ hood is the S curve between the A pillar and lines in the middle of the hood. Horrible, but what ya gonna do? The '15-'17 have a gently flowing line from the A pillar down the hood. Ford avoided any problem with the GT350 and later GT500 by having the lines hug the rear of the hood until extending down the hood or disappearing. I could not believe they didn't do that with the '18+ hoods if they wanted lines closer to the center of the hood. Saleen nailed it, hood wise.

I love the look of the Black label, only two issues, 1 is the rear spoiler, not a fan, 2 it's Saleen and their rep is in the toilet so I don't trust them.

They've been doing that since the S197.......not something I'm keen on but, in both cases, its just a cover over the inner lamp

Wrinkle slicks?

Something wide, meaty and slick. I'd bet that car could get close to 3 seconds 0-60 with the right tires.

You must be sticking your head out of the car, if you can see those annoying lines while driving....

BTW... orange car looks like a Camaro. That is the crowd they were going after.

Ugly or beautiful is still ugly or beautiful even if you can't see it at the moment.
