Wow, the front - sexy, the side - sexy. But he some how took an already ugly rear and made it even uglier.....the rear is where the aftermarket really needs to step up their game to disguise the factory disgracement.

i dont like it, he being steve used alot of old ideas and features that are on the SALEEN cars. i though he was suppose to have a NEW company with new designs not shitty remakes of saleen cars.

i just think he should have done something a bit more unquie and more diffrent then his old company saleen.

I like the stock hood better! All he needed to do was make the stock cowl in the middle an inch or so higher and add some heat extractors and it wouldve been bomb!! But il looks like he just copied the last saleen hood.

They need to stop pilling sh@t ontop of that back bumper(GT350 & SMS), clutering it up, and just make one that looks normal!!

They need to just realize that they just brought the black sh@t up too high and redesign it to somewhat look like the Shelby GT/Gt500/CS rear but a little more agressive without going overboard!!

Why not? Steve's a road racer, not a drag racer. It's totally feasible that he did mods that traded performance in the 1/4 for performance in the twisties.

And "Saleen" was his company that used his ideas on what a car should look like. So it doesn't surprise me at all that SMS is going to continue his ideas of what a car should look like, only now he's not limited to building Fords. Likely "Saleen" the company will change how their cars look, as they'll have different designers working on them.
