I was referring to the exhaust headers.
Yep.

Just saying they have done a few things to reduce costs. It would not surprise me if the bonnet pinch was just another thing.

I can picture it now in the 'bandaid team room' brainstorming solutions.

Race Red works a treat on the Mustang.

After seeing the red today I'm starting to doubt my decision on the blue

I am glad I picked Race Red for my GT Manual Coupe. It was very hard nearly 12 months ago to decide on colour without seeing a car in the flesh.

Another thing we miss out on is the strut brace!

Just remember, Race Red will be (according to some old media reports) be the most popular colour, so if you want to fit in with the crowd, go for it! :)

But it does look good. You won't regret it. Except when it comes to Mustang meets where your 'stang doesn't stand out because they're all Race Red ;)

But you can all rejoice because yours all look good.

Yeah it's a sweet colour - especially out in bright sunshine.

I almost called my dealer from the US when I first set eyes on one to ask him to modify my order to RR.

Colour is good.
No hood pinch.
Rear window alignment looked okay.

Interesting mod with the lights in the grill

I can see the hood pinch, not much but pretty much in line with all the other ones I have seen.

"Interesting" is one way of putting it. What's with the front number plate arrangement? Is the plate near the windscreen?

Bonnet pinch seems to be about as good as it gets from the factory.

Possibly due to the angle of the photo, and the way that the planets are aligned has caused the picture to depict hood pinch. :p
On the car there was no pinch. I enquired about whether he had adjusted the hood, he was not aware of the issue and no it has not been adjusted.
I did notice there seemed to be a wider gap between the leading edge of the hood and the top section. Howevre this was uniform in gap.
Only a brief check of the rear windscreen, looked okay

The pic does not do it justice, the lights are very neatly and symetricaly affixed. It does not look after-market.

He is waiting for a bracket for the front. Hope the boys 'n' girls in blue are understanding:)
