Anyone take a look at the new Saleen yet? It's pretty nice I just think that the rear taillights could be better. IMO a retro looking car should either share the three lights on each side or something reminiscent of the Shelby's with sequential going across the back. I can't wait to see what the Shelby or other special editions will look like. I would like to see a Mach I, Boss, California Special, and Hertz edition.

I think that Saleen FINISHED the 05. I would have one in a red hot second and I normally don't like the gingerbread they put on cars.

It looks real nice, but I prefer the front of teh stock GT. I think the smaller lights that they have in the body plastic on the Saleen just looks odd. I love the rear detail work, but would have liked to see teh 3-bar lights remain.
So far the Roush is my favorite version of the 05. Probably because of the hood more than anything. IMO most of the tunner cars are on the boarder of becoming rice.

Seconded.

The inner 1/3 of each light is covered by a plastic insert. It can be removed easily.
Hate the whole tupperware treatment of the rear end.
It is a beautiful car, but I don't think I'd make any of the exterior changes to my GT. Maybe I'm just prejudiced.

Till the stripes?
Don't think I'll do the stripes, unless I need to cover some scratches in 10 years or so.

To me it looks like they took a really nice looking car and added a bunch of pointless gingerbread that makes it look worse, not better.
