I Wonder Why??

[Coosawjack]

Ford designers put a "wrinkle" in the rear quarters of newer Mustangs?? To me the car would look better without it and in fact the first time I saw this "wrinkle" on a Taurus I thought it was damaged.....UGH!!

Photos of my car showing what I'm talkin' about..........not as apparent on darker colors but don't ya think our cars would look better without it??

Continues the body line and stiffens the quarter panel....

Yeah, I have that "wrinkle," as well. I can take it or leave it.

Probably so but I still think it would look better gone........not a big deal and looks like a shadow on Kona Blue sometimes??

I've noticed it before but never gave it that much thought.
Realistically you have two choices, Chalk it up to a quirk and let it go. Or pay a body shop to remove it. Guess it depends on how strongly you feel about it.

 

[Coosawjack]

It is what it is and I'm OK leaving it but still think it would look better without it even if the RWHP was less!!

I remember these videos!
I don't know how to find them. Anyone have a link? I'd like to watch the Mustang one again now that I'm a Mustang owner.

I don't really like the style on the brand new stangs, think the style of my 2016 looks better but thats just my opinion.

Couldn't disagree more. It's styling.

Yeah pre-2018s look better BUT what the OP is talking about has been there since the first S550s in 2015.

The channel is Muscle vs Tuner. Or you can look up "shit Mustang owners say". They did an s197 and an s550.

Love this guy.

 

[BlueThunder]

There it is. We've found it. The most insignificant quirk of the S550.

Congratulations all around. :-) (just bustin balls)

Sometimes car stylists are just smoking crack. After all, they did make '99 Tauruses, Pontiac Azteks, '58 Edsels, '59 Bel Airs, Pintos, not to mention Mustang IIs and a few other serious fuglies along the way. The wrinkle is small potatoes in the big scheme of car-fugly.

Forgot to say, Jack, nice car.

Get a Camaro.

Why? It carries over the character line. Without it, it would just look weird... especially when you look lower and see the other character line that carries over into the bumper cover.
