I still think the 05 looks better than that 2010.

I love that front but not the rear. Its too round in the back, mustangs were never that round in the back, they had that flater look. Also those tail lights would be better if there wasnt those 2 back up lights in the middle of the tail light, just seems out of place

Ya, but if you do this simple mod it looks a hole lot better. Black out tail lights and paint the lower bumper to match. I think what real kills the rear end is those damm white bars in the tail lights that give it a euro look and the big gray plastic lower bumper.

Better, especially on a black car...
Good call on the Civic tail lamps, lol.
That bumper is still too bulky and the tail lights too small. Not a good combo.

to me it looks so much more modern. Makes the earlier S197 rear look very plain.
I would have liked to see 3 separate rectangular tail lights on the 2010, but I'm getting used to it.

The rear isn't too bad in person.

I would have liked to see the 3 separate rectangles on the tail lights too, but not with another light inbetween them. Would have liked to see it styled as separate lights like the 60's stangs. The blackout lights look really nice
