The Great S550 Chop Thread

[JackHoya]

The best shots of the heavily camo'd grille that we have are below. You can tell that it is more squarish than hexagonal (unlike the Fusion, etc). It also looks like the grille will not be flush against the fascia. The upper lip of it looks to protrude outward. Finally, it does not look like the grille is sitting so low in relation to the headlights.

True, but that could also be a fake grille stuck on under the camo. We're not going to know for sure until the cladding comes off

Yea, I certainly wouldn't put it past them to do that, especially at this early stage.

I would just like to believe they don't mindf*** a whole lot of Mustang fans by sticking on a fake and more Mustang looking grille, only to be hiding a Fusion/Fiesta one.

Insult to injury, y'know. :doh:

Here's more of a frankenstein version. I replaced part of the frontal area with a Fiesta front end (part of the nose shape is more consistent), smoothed the hood a bit and replaced the billet bars with currently available blackout versions.

If only I had photoshop skills that let me seamlessly blend the two like that. I think if you just raise the nose a bit it will be improved.

I took a crack at JohnnyGMachine's sketch. It's crude, but just did a few things I'd like to see in a production version. Took down the lines a bit, incorporated a few of the cues of the hero stang (side skirt, scoop, etc). I'll keep going but if anyone with more skill wants to take over feel free.

This sketch is beautiful!!

Big side scoop = win

I love big side scoops.


Case in point:

Nice sketch! I like the scoop but it looks like you would have to push the wheel farther out a bit and maybe increase the size of the rear. The size of that scoop is kind of dwarfing the rear fender.

I think this looks really good. As I've said before I really enjoyed the original that JohnnyG Machine came out with, and the slight alterations I've seen still look tasteful. I really enjoy that aggressive front end and I hope we can see something like that. The sketch has great curves and body lines that compliment the entire vehicle. Hopefully we'll see a S550 that looks this amazing.

Good job Riparker. I think we're getting closer and closer to this one that is sweet looking. Except the sketch actually looks better in a lot of ways, especialy the front fascia.

I like my headlights more, but the side scoop is an epic win.

Very nice. Definitely getting closer...

This has always been my favorite.

I would have the rearend be not so round, but other than that, this thing is money. Takes the EVOS design language and makes it unique to mustang DNA. Well designed and executed.

Thanks guys, still planning to work on it more.

Can some of the guys that say "it's close" who know some info give input on what to change? I was going to just change it to what I'd like to see but would be more useful if someone could tell me what to change to make it more accurate.

Thats not bad, but we've all gone a little too crazy with the renders with the sloping hood. I think it's time to take it back a little.
