Default Which back end do you like better?

The 2006 mustang or the 2010's back end? No, the back end of the fox body doesn't count Nor can you pick the 2013 as your favorite.

2010+ is much improved imo, especially with your paint matched gt500 diffuser

The 2005-209 is more classic, plain, humble, etc. It also looks more bloated, with a blank stare. And masculine (flat and square)

The 2010+ is much more updated, stylish, hip, euro, etc. It looks like it lost weight, with a smile. And more feminen (curves)

I like the 2010+ look better, but still think the earlier one has its own unique characteristics that look more "classic". Part of it is, i've seen a bajillion 05-09's and a lot less newer ones. Tons of stock v6's (yours is sick though!)

Of those 2 particular cars I like the 2010. But I normally like the 05-09 more. I am not a fan of that spoiler, and I would rather see the CS rear. If the 05-09 had a different spoiler and the CS rear I would have picked that. I agree on your color matched diffuser looking great.

I prefer the look of the 05-09, but love the tail lights of the 2010+.

That's why I have the Raxiom tail lights that look like the 2010+ plus sequential tail lights.

The painted pieces were the first thing to be done to the car. I cannot stand the plastic look from factory.

Thanks for the compliments on my V6. Tons of hours of hard work and $$ poured into it.

I do agree that the 05-09 body style looks much more muscular but with a little bit of work the 2010 can be better looking and more muscular. The 2010 style does have a hint of euro style and more body curves. I am not again'st either one but prefer the 2010-12 style any day of the year.

Haha, Roy! The classics will always be classics, nothing new will ever be like them but that wasn't part of the choices, sir!
