I’m really liking this front clip on the new Saleens. Much better looking IMO than the factory one. Opinions?

Nope front end sucks looks like a 5 year old could have designed it! Saleen just needs to fold and give it up, they can’t design crap anymore and the company has no clue how to do business or take care of their customers!

Looks like an old GT3000, lack of effort.

The 05’ was the last good one they had.

Saleen, doesn't matter how good it looks, it's still a piece of shit. They have a great track record of turning gold into fool's gold.

Saleen isn't dead yet?? A long time ago I had friends who worked for Saleen...the horror stories of how they band aided those cars together.

I think it looks better than stock front end but it's missing something. Maybe an aggressive chin spoiler will make it look better.

I've owned my white label for 6 months, 10k miles, and 1 track day. I have no complaints. I did have one issue and that was the Saleen exhaust bumping against the rear sway. A small adjustment to the exhaust and all has been well.

I haven't been in here long enough to read about all the Saleen vehicles having issues you guys are mentioning. I did follow the guy with the supercharged yellow label Saleen who had cosmetic issues with his car. He eventually sold it and picked something else up.

As much as you guys believe Saleen should disappear, I think otherwise. Not just because I own a Saleen but because it's synonymous with Mustang. Saleen may not be on par with what they used to be but they still have a presence. They still have an appeal some of us prefer. This was my childhood dream car along with those Porsche 959 and Ferrari 308 posters in the 80's. I'm glad I was able to fulfill my dream. Saying why Saleen still exists, is like genocide of a car tuner in my opinion.

I agree ^^

Whilst its clear Saleen have issues with customer cars that are unacceptable (at least in terms of getting them fixed....or delivered in the first place).....Saleen is somewhat of a legend in the Mustang world.

I really hope they can turn things around. To a degree, I guess they already have, as many had written them off a year or two ago, but they're still here.

For what it's worth, I really like the look of these. A good mix of '18MY and '14MY :)

I think the minute Ford brought the Shelby name back it was over for Saleen.

Let me say I do not want Saleen to die. Saleen was the premiere Mustang builder from the 80's up to about 2005. I would like to see someone with a vision and a commitment to return Saleen's reputation for high quality cars but unfortunately this car is not it.

The wave in the new nose between it and the hood stand out like a sore thumb. A high quality part would not have that wave in it.

This is what Saleen needs. Kind of like the Ford GT front bottom section or the green monster from down under
