I hate to inform you guys, but dudes on the street have been ricing out F-bods for many many years now. There's alot of them in my area pimpin 20+in rims, stupid vinyl graphics, and rediculous aftermarket hoods. And none of them have much dime dropped under the hood. Say what you will about Saleen appearance schemes, but at least they have given (the 05+) Mustangs some serious go to accompany their show. Its their pricing that's rediculous IMO.

Scoop looks stupid and I have no clue why they put nasty black squares on the front of the car. Please put the car back the way you found it and leave it alone. Kay, thanks.
