I would love a better looking front end kit for the S550. My biggest objection of the S550 is the Aston Martin/Evos front end.
If that Aston front end actually had a noticeable front bumper, the S550 would look considerably better. But since Ford decided to eliminate a noticeable front bumper, the front end looks ugly to me.
If Steeda were to make a S550 front end kit in its Street Fighter tradition and make sure it includes a noticeable front bumper, I would definitely buy that.
Some unknowns that are still up in the air: What the S550 IRS will look like and how it will perform.
To prevent biding, which IRS always does, if Steeda were to make upgrade shocks and springs to correct that, I would buy them.
If the stock S550 IRS spindles are glass jaw weak like the Gen5 Camaro SS IRS spindles, I would buy upgrade spindles.
If the stock IRS multi-link bars flex too much, I would but upgrade multi-link bars.
If the stock IRS bushings suck, I would buy upgrade bushings.
As far as the engine, the current non-direct injected 420BHP Coyote is being carried forward, and so is the current 3.7L V6. So the existing engine mods are 100% compatible for the S550 trims with those engines.
The unknown engines will be the Ecoboost 4-banger, the "Voodoo" 5.2L Coyote, and the Twin turbo Coyote.

Front bumper needs some attention. Not sure if it is the sytle of the fog lights or what but it just seems bland.
I would really like to see a wing for the car. Not a duckbill or anything like the 2003-2004 terminators had. An actual wing but the current design of the car seems to liit style freedom. Ofcourse the steeda wing on my 05 just wouldnt look at home but the size of Steeda wings is pretty uniform. The 2011-2014 Steeda wing is one of the best looking wings I have ever seen for our cars. But it might wind up looking horribly out of place due to size and styling. The 2015 looking more like a fastback doesnt leave much room. The undercut of the deck lid to the tail lights would make a duckbill look reallh stupid and out of place.
Most of what is going on with the car is visual and can be fixed.
I rather like the general lay out of the back end and side. The side skirts are pretty much great.
Front end, not feeling it. If I were to get one the car would be black as much of it's features just drown out and your eye skips over the things I cannot define.
My doubts about mechanicals have to do with the stupid 6spd and yet another stupid remote shifting blah blah blah. So help me, skip shift better not be there.
I think lots of people are going to be going with the automatic.
