Tough crowd!

I do love the way the grille juts out more, along with the front bumper. Look how much more "metal" there is in front of the headlamp. I like that, very aggressive!

Actually the rear diffuser, exhaust, wheels, look amazing.

The spoiler is perfect and the rousch badge is very well designed. The side vents on the hood are nice looking. And the understated taillight bar is a nice touch.
Agreed!

I LOVE: the wheels and the rear diffuser :shocked:

I LIKE: the spoiler and the hood vents and the Roush badge :thumbsup:

I HATE: everything else :thumbdown:

Ford did a nice job making the new car clean and modern. And that fact only keeps getting confirmed in my mind every time I see these kits. The stock design really doesn't need much of anything, and a lot of this stuff looks like a tacked on attempt to bring more retro back to the car.

I couldn't agree more. The spoilers for instance - I don't know how many of you have seen the videos where the design team shows the car in the wind tunnel and explains the aerodynamic design while a guy uses the smoke gun to show you the airflow, etc. They said they went back and forth over the angle and positioning of the integrated rear spoiler, a few mm here, a few there, until they reached the ideal aerodynamic design, and that very tiny changes often made a very significant difference to the over all drag coefficient (Cd). They also said that the design of the tiny little deck lid spoilers on the base EB and GT were custom designed to account for the different underbody dynamics of the vehices, etc., which presumably is part of why the PP cars include mandatory spoiler delete, since Ford has designed the car in such a way that those versions do not benefit and may even be dragged down by even the tiny deck lid spoilers at the higher speeds achievable by the PP cars.

All of which is to say, I have serious doubts that the spoilers etc. on the Roush and Saleen cars do much if anything to improve Cd, unless they are designed to counteract some of the other stylistic changes which themselves probably do nothing to help performance. Besides that the factory car just looks better to me, but that's a personal preference thing. Ford spent like 5 years in full size clay models designing every detail of this car, and I personally don't think that so far anyone has done anything to 'improve' upon their design in the very short time this car has been in the public eye.

Thank you! Awesome work.

I am either going with TY or CO and the Roush looks awesome.

I wish Saleen would have revealed their car like Roush did.

Rear spoilers are rarely ever intended to improve CD. They are however useful in increase rear down force which comes at the cost of drag. So if drag is important to you than don't put a spoiler on the car if on the other hand you want more rear down force then a spoiler will probably help. Of course you might just like the way it looks in which case go for it.
