All of the info in the first post came from Ford Press releases and events, I believe.
Pretty much every other post except for photos is speculation or regurgitation/discussion over the content in the first post, so...may as well.
That's what all of us are wondering!
As the saying goes,you can put lipstick on a pig and it is still a pig,so it is still a S550= pig.
If it's not an actual race car or exotic supercar it just looks cheap. Carbon fiber doesn't look good on a 40k car and this isn't much different than the JDM scene.
Hey, the mustang IS a race car!
Maybe when I retire?
Glossy piano black trim would look nice. A huge piece of brushed aluminum looks a bit cheap, arguably done the worst in the S197 Mustangs. I'm at least glad Ford ditched chrome interior bits for satin in the 2018 model.
Thanks !! I'm just wanting to know what most people feel about this type of trim on an American Muscle car....just making sure its done right and doesn't look cheap, tacky or ricey !!
I agree the satin trim looks much more modern and sharper. I've seen many posts on here with the owners of 15-17's wishing they had that brushed aluminum trim rather than the bright chrome interior trim and bezels.
CF makes sense and is a boon when weight/strength is an issue, but IMO it's a fad like vinyl tops in the '60s and '70s that will play out with the next "bright and shiny" goodie from the Marketing Dept...
