Actually the tail lights isn't all I didn't like about the 2014. I have my pros and find about both versions. And I didn't mean to start an all out war on here, was just hoping for some ideas on what to do. But so many of you have given me some very good ideas and to be honest, they're starting to come around. A lot of things I would love to do, but the funds are limited, so I'm going to start with small things and work my way up. I still like the maroon with silver stripes color, but I've always had white cars, I just think it's the black stripes that turn me off. Wish I would've seen pics before I ordered the black stripes. And I hate to take them off after I paid for them and paid to have them installed. Idk...

Ha! I bet the new one is going to be very fast. But IMO it still looks like a Taurus or Fusion coupe. I'll spare a few 10ths in the 1/4 to not drive something that looks like that. Instead of GT500 they should call it a SHO model...again thats just my opinion on the styling.

Well I do like what you've done. Nice work. The white convertible with black top, and the gray Indy stripes are ok. I would have done black Indy stripes to match the top, but to each his own. I still think it looks great! At first look I thought it was a Generation 4 Camaro. Silly me. Just had to get that out there. Troy Lawson

I gotta get black rims & either a 1LE or Z28 spoiler for my 14' SS! Then I'll be super happy

As soon as we took a look at the new '14 "that's what we had been waiting for and had to have that"!
Well that explains it all, if you didn't like the muscle car front! Because you wanted a different front from the Retro muscle car one and I can understand that!

You're taking it for granted that the '10-'13 has "the muscle car front" and the '14 doesn't. I couldn't disagree more. I think the '14 SS has the most aggressive muscle car front. One of the reasons why we went with it.
To each their own!

It's not the tail lights that aren't nice. It's the rear diffuser that I cannot warm to. It goes up too high and looks cheap IMHO. I wish they had left that part alone. I think the lights look good though.

Lol... Tell me one muscle car that has a aggressive front grill???? Don't worry I'll wait... And muscle cars aren't known for looking aggressive but maybe a sports car!

Like the 90's Acura tail lights on some models. The Integra and a couple others.

That's ok. The 2015 Mustang's headlights look like a direct steal from an earlier gen mustang before 2005. And the grill is from a Fusion. The rear end has been euro'd to the hilt, and it has gained weight and lost fuel economy. :/

Could it be worse? absolutely. Has it lost its uniqueness? Absolutely.

The 2015 Mustang will also come with a neuter kit to remove your manhood while driving it (its kinda fem looking imo). It has a combo look of a lot of cars.
