What GAP are you guys seeing? Can someone draw a circle on the above photo?
I do like the tail lights on the '13 much better. I think on the '10-'12s, it's the back up lights that sit between the brake lights that were distracting for me. Kind of looks like a stripe.

if you look, the bottom on the 10-12 are more pointed at the bottom, the 12 seems to be slightly flatter, thereby leaving...a gap :P

Lots of folks keep saying that, and lots of folks keep sharing their tales (and pics) of cars with painted rockers going on years, w/o a single chip.

You get what you pay for???

These comparisons you guys are doing from pics, are from a pic of an actual real car, and the other is computer rendered - and does not look like an actual 2013 rear?

This is a real 2013 rear, and for the life of me I'm missing whatever gap you guys are discussing on the lower part of the rear lights? It certainly is not straight across like that blue rendered pic shows, but more like the real 2012 next to it?



Seems like a simple plug n play - with resistors (built in would be nice) for the LEDS will fit the bill for 10+ cars and not cause funky flashes or blinking from the LEDs. This is a 5-10 minute ratchet job!

'10-'12s already have LED tail lights; no electrical work would be necessary.

Haven't seen this pic yet and thanks for posting. Well, according to that pic, and what you've mentioned, it looks like a simple snap in place job....But honestly after re-looking at all these pics again, it's hard to tell now 100% whether it will be an accurate fit, or whether that small little space will be in play. Anyways, guess I'll be setting aside some more of this deployment money in case these lights do become available...

And for the record in less than 2 1/2 weeks I'll be home and finally get to drive my Stang for the first time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New line up, V6, GT, and Boss

The new painted rocker moldings look good, IMO.
Sooo..whats the difference in appearance from trhe V6 and the GT? The hood vents? That's it? No grill fogs?

It looks to me like the hood bulge is still there...

I may be wrong but I'm fairly certain that both the Black one and the White one are V6s.

Nah that's the new lineup. Black (V6) White (GT) Bus Yellow (BOSS). GT and BOSS appear to have the vents. V6 doesn't look like it does....and neither have the power bulge.
