Default Does 2011 Must. rear view of car remind you of...

My first impression with the concave rear panel on 2011 and light design looks more 67-68-69 than
say the 1970 Boss appearance which I expect stopped in 2010?

Actually growing on me now , who else
used to it by now. Some nice aftermarket era panels are available ,and hide the concave look -if thats what you're after...


my self may do the "magnetic slap on" black out semi gloss black overlay....

If the rear were just 1 1/2 lower.....

Yup

Wasn't really feeling the 2010 look at first, but it slowly grew on me. It's more of a sporty look than a muscle look, but I can live with that

CDC blackout panel to fill it and 2-inch drop in rear. I really wished CDC would make its panel fill it up completely. But as you can see in the picture, there will be a small space exposed on both sides if you center it. It's really not that noticeable when directly in rear.

I was not crazy about the rear when it first came out but loved the front end, but after seeing it around, it as a package looks good.
I am sure in some engineers mind the concave rear was supposed to do something, but to me even the OTT stripes helped out with the look.

I agree the stripes make it look nicer, on that particular combo of colors.


Still on the fence whether to stripe my Grey11 .

I have seen a Shelby or 2 with the Colorado Red and a couple of GT's with the Matte Black OTT stripe, 1 had the Fords rear deck panel on it, they all looked awesome.

you need an exhaust with bigger tips! and some wider rear wheels/tires!

Run a little black Vinyl around the lip of the decklid and it'll look MUCH better and make it look like it fills the space completely. Enough vinyl to do this would only cost about 10 bucks. I ended up doing the same thing with my DG Customs Blackout panel on my 05 and it made a HUGE difference. Sorry, no before and after pics for you, but you get the idea.

It has 4 inch tips on it now, as for the tires, when they wear out
