These renderings from people are great. Keep them coming please!
I hope Ford makes the fake hood and side scoops optional. There are a lot of people, including myself, turned off by non-functional plastic scoops. I know there are a lot of people that think tacking on large spoilers and scoops and other cosmetic things makes the cars look better. That is great, but why not have it part of an option package? Toyota has something like that for the Celica.
How many time have you read a Car and Driver, Motor Trend, or Road and Track where they have said "if only XYZ car company would tack on some extra plastic scoops to make the car look attractive". The GTO is being blasted for being dull, but that's the sheetmetal doing that. The new and current Mustang have a more aggressive set of sheetmetal to begin with. Why not try to have the Mustang appeal to the guys who consider the Corvettes or Porsches by offering a clean attractive package? Make the optional "appearance" package for the traditional muscle car guys. Maybe they could make an optional "rice" package for the people who need absurdly large spoilers, air dams, and mufflers!
Better yet, if Ford would add these scoops on the GT and make them FUNCTIONAL and truly performance enhancing, they would have a win-win. Perhaps the side scoops could direct air to the rear wheels to help improve braking performance. The hood scoop could provide a ram-air effect for a few more HP.
In any event, I think the option package idea would broaden the appeal of the Mustang to more consumers which is a good thing for Ford and Mustang enthusiasts.
