I am not seeing it - the Fox bodies were pretty short-hooded and sloped as far as I can tell:

Same with the SN95s:


In comparison, the '18 looks a little larger and more substantial to me:

Check the over-hang on the old cars and you will see it’s quite substantial. The S550 cuts it down a bit but kept the height (2015 - 2017) and thus made it hard to park and such. Cutting down on the overhang and also sloping it down more is sort of out of character for most Mustangs. Now someone will show me Stangs with less overhang. Oh well...

And you know what? That overhang cut back with the slope is what gives the new front end that awkward look at some front quarter angle shots. That is why! I pat myself on the back... :cool:

Guess this frameless mirror didn't make it to production? My car certainly doesn't have one.
Mine has it. I've noticed that the frameless mirror is only on cars equipped with Safe and Smart package

I like the 2018 best. Looks great.


You missed some great stuff getting a '17, you know.
No, instead I spent that extra $12,000 and made my 17 better in every way in comparison in multiple areas from PPF\Coating\Tint to bolt ons and suspension. Probably still haven't reached that price point difference even after all of that.
