And While I'm at it...
Whomever did this... it now has a very European look to it. And it does not look like any other Mustang of this era. It clearly stands out and is not an eyesore. The popped out Headlights look retro Euro. Classy.
How can you slam him for self expression???? If its not your cup of tea... then you have your later Model ride to work with.
Think of it this way... when the S550 finally hits the sales floor there's gonna be a lot of S197's popping up with copycat body, front fascia and rear fascia visual mods that will attempt to copy some of what the newest Mustang has in the looks department.
I wouldn't fault them for it. I might chuckle at how neat it came out and it will definitely make anyone do a double take to get a handle on what they're seeing.
Kudos to them in advance.

Doesn't stop there...
AM sells a kit (not the one above though) http://www.americanmuscle.com/s197-conversion-9904.html

To each their own but wow... not for me.
I have seen the retrobuild cars in person a couple years back, they take new mustangs and make them look like the older ones. Quite pricey to have done but they really look good. They had a a real 69 park next to the retrobuilt 69 for comparison they were very close to the same with a few variations. Here is there website if your interested.

I think the new '13 taillight mod for the '05-'12 looks awesome! Also the retro kits for the S197 to look like the '69s are cool too! Some kits work well on some cars while others look too odd and out of place.
