Sorry I should have put IMO at the end of my post. Here's a great video listing a ton of upgrades to 2018.

Two more shots I haven't seen before :cheers:

@Lucky13Cat: The video is a must see for all european customers. Having DRL tribars and hood vents is really such a huge upgrade compared to 15' EU model

A few more things that I think have distracted me from fully liking the new front.

1) The front grill trim is gloss black, eliminating some body color from the front. It almost give it that no lip teeth smile look.

I never noticed that before, and now I can't "unsee" it!

My brother told me he saw 3 new Mustangs at the climate lab at Eglin AFB. No photos though, that is a strict no go on base. Guess they are doing some cold weather performance testing of the new engines and electronics.
Wow that's surprising, I had no idea they would allow that freeze hangar to be used for civilian testing! I've driven by that many times in past 25 years of flying for the mil.

Apparently it's used regularly for commercial testing since it's the largest climate lab in the states (maybe world? dunno). Auto and tire companies are there often. He said Ford has a "Ford week" where they will bring out their new vehicle lineup all in the same week to run tests.

So now they 18's look more expensive than the 15's and more on-par with BMW's? :doh:

There is nothing like talking yourself into a buy.
Camaro6 syndrome incoming.

Thanks Ace......I don't know where you find 'em, but keep 'em coming :thumbsup:

Orange Fury really looks like (metallic) Grabber Orange here! And the Blackout Package looks great, too. I'd add a black roof though :cool:

Just when I thought I'd ruled out OF, along comes that pic - if that is closer to what it actually looks like than all the indoor pics, it's back in the running (along with Magnetic and LB). Love it - although I think it will look better with gun metal rims (not a black rim fan).

Getting rid off halogen bulbs and using glossy black paint makes a car look more expensive pretty easy :D
The current mustang has HIDs, which, aesthetically speakeing look no better or worse than it's LED counterparts. They are both hidden by a similar lense.

You're welcome.

The non-US cars have halogen bulbs for their fogs and DRLs :(

Ouch, that sucks.
Especially the DRL just sucks. It's a yellow halogen bulb in the foglights. The tribars have no function in EU since they somehow are against EU lightning laws :frusty::frusty::frusty:
