Default Who has the love for stock ?

Not stock engine parts of course, I am talking about some visual

Aspects of your mustang. For instance I love the stock tail lights on my 04 GT,

I also love the stock pony grill, the stock mach 1000 6 disc CD player and the

Interior (To me the billet dress up just Seems tacky and god awful looking).

Im Interested in seeing some other opinions on this other then mine.

From 96-98/2003-2004, I love the stock cobra body kit. Nothing wrong with it imo othe than the height.
I don't like the 00-01 cobra body kit or wheels.

The GT from 96-04 is a diff story. I don't really like the front bumper/fog light set-up. I don't like the hood either. I don't hate them but I don't like em. The rest is fine with me.

I really dont care for the v6 2004 hoods, well generally i dont like the v6 hoods for all years, or the base look of the v6 for that matter. But the hood scoop on the GT makes the car look like a muscle car. I guess im trying to say a fully loaded stock GT is the best looking...especially with a nice color

I think most aftermarket bodykits for mustang look terrible.

The only good looking parts are OEM, for example like a terminator front end, which is awesome and will look tastefully appealing and not horrendous. Another good mod is the grille delete like the mach 1 mustangs. I dont know if swapping these parts in still qualifies as a stock look, but in my book it does since they are still OEM parts.

And the only billet i like is the complete interior setup of the mach 1 interior. I dont care for aftermarket billet it never matches. But im with ya on the tail lights, they are different but very good looking...Nothing pisses me off more to see those chromed out altezza tail lights or euro tail lights on a mustang.

I definitely love the lines on the new edge in general, but especially the sides and fender lines of the car. I also love the rear of the GTs. I hate however, the stupid hoods, with or without the scoop, I just don't like them. I also cant stand the way the bottom of the front clip curves up, it looks fine once it has a chin spoiler on it though. Definitely don't like the stock grill. I like the stock grill setup in the SN95's though, very clean IMO. I actually really like everything about the SN95 body except the tails, they drive me nuts.

I love the tail lights too... headlights kinda suck though
The stock pony grill IMO is the worst thing on the car along with the front bumper. The interior is decent but nothing special and the audio systems seem to be pretty nice

i love mine. The only thing the interior needs is a boost gauge lol, and i actually Like our interiors. the Exterior looks pretty good with a chin spoiler and some window tint and lowering with wheels.

I like the stock looks for the most part. The headlights suck, I would rather have some sportier seats, the speakers in my car sucked, and the stock ride height blows. Those are about my only complaints about stock. I don't care for the plastic fake hood/side scopes as well. I like how clean and simple the interior is though.
